Abstract: A braze preform includes a filler metal, a flux in communication with the filler metal, and a luminescent material covering at least a portion of the filler metal. The luminescent material is equal to or less than 0.15% total weight of the braze ring. Further, the luminescent material includes at least one of a luminescent ink, a solvent, and a binder. The solvent may be one of a bromide-based solvent or a non-chlorine-based solvent. The binder may be an acrylic resin.

Abstract: In one example, a modified electrical device includes a body and at least one connector on the body to make power and control connections with an active cover plate. In some embodiments, a wall plate system may include a modified electrical device or receptacle and/or an active cover plate.

Abstract: In one example, a cover plate may include a face plate with at least one outlet aperture, a back plate abutting the back of the face plate, an electric load between the face plate and the back plate, and at least one prong that extends from the face plate to a free end. The prong may be configured to interface with a terminal on the side of an outlet receptacle body and may include any or all of the following: an insulated portion and/or an electrical contact. The prong may resiliently deflects outward when interfacing with the terminal and may deflect with a first resistance prior to contacting a wall and with a second resistance that is greater than the first resistance when the prong contacts the wall. The cover play may also include at least one conductor electrically connecting the prong to the electric load.

Abstract: A system is provided for easily locating a closure latch release and opening a closure of a motor vehicle. That system includes the closure latch release which may be hidden from view by a body element of the motor vehicle and a highlight feature adjacent the closure latch release that is in clear or plain view so that the closure latch release may be quickly and conveniently located.

Abstract: An in-vehicle structure for an inverter includes a bracket, a damping bush, and a braided wire. The bracket is made of a metal plate, and serves as a metal fitting for fixing the inverter to a transmission (a vehicle). The damping bush is fitted between the bracket and either one of a case of the inverter and the transmission. The damping bush is made of an insulator. The braided wire electrically connects the case of the inverter to the transmission. The braided wire is wired along the metal plate of the bracket.

Abstract: In an indicator apparatus, a prism member includes: a prism member side surface; and a transmitting and reflecting surface that is inclined relative to the prism member side surface, and into which light from a light source is admitted. An adjacent member has an adjacent surface that is adjacent to the prism member side surface. The light from the light source is admitted into the transmitting and reflecting surface when the light source is lit, and passes through the prism member. If the prism member is viewed frontally when the light source is not lit, the adjacent surface is visible by optical reflection at the transmitting and reflecting surface.

Abstract: A key module includes a key, a light emitting component, and a drive circuit. The key is operable between on and off states. The light emitting component is disposed adjacent to the key, and is capable of providing indicating light for the key. The drive circuit is electrically connected to the key and the light emitting component. The drive circuit is triggered upon switching of the key from the off state to the on state to provide a drive signal for driving the light emitting component to provide the indicating light. The drive signal has an intensity that gradually decreases over time once the key switches from the on state to the off state such that the indicating light provided by the light emitting component has a luminance that gradually decreases over time.

Abstract: A photoluminescent wall marker includes an elongated base having an upper edge and a lower edge. The lower edge of the base is integral with an upper edge of a photoluminescent panel. The upper edge of the photoluminescent panel is integral with the base lower edge and defined by a fold line extending longitudinally between the base and the photoluminescent panel. The base and photoluminescent panel are flexible in a transverse direction allowing the wall marker to be stored in roll form in an unassembled configuration.

Abstract: For regularly encounterable walking shoes environments typically having a treaded lower-base and an overlying foot-rest surface, disclosed herein are visual warning devices respectively extending loftily vibratorily helically above the foot-rest surface and topically carrying a visually bright ornamental feature. The bright ornamental feature (preferably of bulbous shape) is alternatively provided as: of self-luminescent characteristic; or alternatively, as an electrically-powerable incandescent bulb powerable from a chemical storage-battery that is rearwardly removably attachable to the walking shoe environment.

Abstract: A device for detecting objects under insufficient lighting conditions comprises a body having a phosphorescent pigmentation and means for fixing the body to an object to be detected.
