Abstract: The invention is a multiple interconnected network of intelligent message-repeating remote nodes which employs a remote node polling process performed by a master node by transmitting a polling message generically addressed to all remote nodes associated with the master node. Each remote node responds upon receipt of the generically addressed polling message by sequentially flooding the network with a poll-answering informational message and with the polling message.

Abstract: A construction of a panel includes at least one opening defined therein, a first and a second box are respectively disposed beside the opening of the panel, each of the first and second boxes has a hole defined therein and an extending live line and an extending ground line respectively extend from the first box and the second box and extend along sides defining the opening, one end of the extending live/ground line is in communication with the corresponding holes of the first and the second boxes. The extending live and extending ground lines are respectively and electrically connected to an electrical element disposed in the panel, which has two conductive plates extending therefrom, each of the conductive plates has an L-shaped plate extending transversely therefrom so as to receive the extending live/ground lines between the L-shaped plate and the conductive plate.

Abstract: A floor board assembly includes four base plates connected around a center plate on the same plane, a cover board covered on the center plate, four lining plates covered on the base plates, four blocking plates connected to the center plate at four sides and bridged over either two base plates and disposed in flush with the lining plates, the base plate having open blocks spaced from one another for passing electric wires through spaces therebetween, the center plate having upright rods with a respective screw holes for mounting an electric socket after the removable of the cover board, the blocking plates having rows of sharp projections for fasten the floor covering being covered over the floor board assembly.

Abstract: An improved outdoor lighting system is provided that comprises a light assembly formed from at least one tubular mast having a distal end for supporting an electrically powered light source, and a proximal end mounted in the ground, and an electrical cable for connecting the light source to an underground power source. The improved system includes an electrical connector assembly in the cable located in the vicinity of the ground-mounted distal end of the tubular mast. The electrical connector assembly spontaneously disconnects in response to an application of an tensile force indicative of an automobile collision with the mast, thereby preventing damaging tensile forces from being transmitted along the underground portion of the cable to the circuit breaker.

Abstract: A power cord for use by electricians to supply power to the construction area while normal electrical power has been disconnected. The present invention allows the electrician to draw power from severed power lines without the necessity of removing the insulation from the severed power lines. The power cord provides un-metered power to ground fault current interrupter and circuit breaker protected outlets.

Abstract: A schematic patch panel includes an enlargement of a customer's floor plan that is dry mounted to a piece of 1/4 foamcore board or located on a plate, preferably by printing. The board is mounted in a frame that can be configured with a clear, locking cover for security purposes. The entire assembly is mounted on the customer's wall by brackets. At each of the computer wall outlet locations depicted on the dry mounted floor plan, a double-sided RJ-45 panel jack is inserted through the floor plan. These panel jacks snap into the floor plan, requiring no other means of fastening. Any wall outlet depicted on the schematic patch panel is activated by connecting a telephone-type extension cable between the network central controller and that wall outlet icon. By this transfer, a different unshielded twisted pair cable connection line is activated and the individualized identifiers and other information particular to a certain terminal are also transferred.
