Abstract: A field configuration terminal is provided that does not require physical or electrical connection to a remote device of a power line communication system. A toroid is provided that comprises a multiplicity of turns of a conductor that is connected in electrical communication with an amplifier and receiver circuitry within the field configuration terminal. A battery, with associated power supply components, provides a direct current source for the microprocessor and logic of the field configuration terminal and for the amplifier thereof. The toroid of the field configuration terminal is shaped to be disposed around a load management terminal of a power line communication system without physical or electrical contact therewith. Signals are transmitted to and received from the load management terminal by inductively coupling the toroid with the load management terminal in signal communication.

Abstract: A terminal block mount for mounting a terminal block within a structural frame member. The terminal block includes opposed pressable tab members on the top and bottom sides which permit the terminal block to be snapped into a terminal block receiving aperture in the frame when detents extending into the aperture snap into a space or slot between the opposed tab members. The terminal block can be removed by depressing one of the tab members on each side of the terminal block.

Abstract: A spring clip for resiliently retaining a post cover in place between a pair of space dividing wall panels interconnected and supported by a cylindrical support post disposed therebetween. Detents on the spring clip retain flanges on the post cover to complementary flanges on the adjacent ends of the wall panels.

Abstract: A cover for enclosing the support post of a space dividing wall panel system is disclosed. The cover is planar and includes a pair of spaced, hook-shaped connectors on the inner surface thereof which coact with annular slots in the support post to mount the cover thereto. One or more of the covers may be mounted to a single post to thereby shield the post from view in most post and panel assembly configurations. The post cover may preferably include a cloth outer covering and a metal impregnated, magnetized vinyl strip on its inner surface.

Abstract: An electrical raceway for the base of a space dividing wall panel system which is suspended beneath the wall panel and includes an upper area surrounded by base covers for carrying the electrical circuits and a lower area defined by a flexible boot for carrying telephone circuits and the like. Access to the lower area is open but has the appearance of being closed from normal viewing angles.

Abstract: A paper management support rack for supporting a plurality of shelves, trays and the like within a larger storage cavity which includes an upper shelf having internally directed flanges on the underside thereof. The support rack includes a planar guide panel supported between a pair of hanger bars which have wedge clips at their upper end which rigidly lock the support rack to the upper shelf of the cavity between the shelf underside and the internally directed flanges.

Abstract: A universal stretcher rail system for use in connection with a space dividing wall panel system including wall panels of different lengths having vertically oriented, laterally spaced slotted standards at each end thereof. The system includes an inner rail member and a plurality of outer rail members of varying lengths each individually adapted to be selectively telescopically associated with the inner rail member to produce a stretcher rail of more than one predetermined length. L-shaped support brackets are fixed to the remote ends of the inner and outer rail members to interconnect the stretcher rail to a pair of laterally spaced slotted standards.

Abstract: Apparatus and process is disclosed for heat treating of material in a furnace comprising a fan driven by an electric motor, a load sensor which senses the motor load and a speed controller responsive to the load sensor signal for controlling the speed of the electric motor.

Abstract: A self-locking mounting clip system for mounting and locking cabinets or the like to laterally spaced, vertically aligned slotted standards. The system includes a mounting clip having a series of equidistantly spaced hooked-shaped connectors mounted to the rear edge of the cabinet sidewalls with the top and bottom hook-shaped connectors of each series bent at a slight angle with respect to the remainder of the hook-shaped connectors in each series. The mounting clips are installable and removable from the slotted standard only in an angular relationship with the slotted standard and are not removable when the cabinet sidewalls are in their assembled position.

Abstract: A high temperature solid electrolyte fuel cell generator comprising a housing means defining a plurality of chambers including a generator chamber and a combustion products chamber, a porous barrier separating the generator and combustion product chambers, a plurality of elongated annular fuel cells each having a closed end and an open end with the open ends disposed within the combustion product chamber, the cells extending from the open end through the porous barrier and into the generator chamber, a conduit for each cell, each conduit extending into a portion of each cell disposed within the generator chamber, each conduit having means for discharging a first gaseous reactant within each fuel cell, exhaust means for exhausting the combustion product chamber, manifolding means for supplying the first gaseous reactant to the conduits with the manifolding means disposed within the combustion product chamber between the porous barrier and the exhaust means and the manifolding means further comprising support a

Abstract: A mounting pedestal for supporting a computer terminal display device or the like is disclosed. The mounting pedestal provides for 360.degree. rotation of the support platform while permitting only limited front to rear tilting of the support platform. A base member includes an annular depression in the form of a segment of a sphere in its upper surface into which a complimentary spherical segment on the underside of the tilt platform rests to provide for 360.degree. rotation of the tilt platform with respect to the stationary base. Tilting in only a front to rear mode is controlled by a pair of laterally extending cylindrical segments on the underside of the tilt platform.

Abstract: A drawer glide mount for mounting a drawer glide to the interior surface of a drawer cabinet side wall which includes a pair of mounting tabs secured to the cabinet side wall having slots therein which receive complementary blade extensions on the drawer glide to provide locking engagement of the drawer glide with the drawer cabinet side wall.

Abstract: A power distribution system for an open office, space dividing, wall panel system wherein electrical power is transferred from one space dividing wall panel to another through a connecting post cap. Each panel includes a terminal block at each upper corner having an outwardly projecting, arcuate contact carrying tongue, which arcuate contacts may be electrically connected to the arcuate contacts of an adjacent panel through complementary ring contacts on the underside of a cylindrical connecting cap.

Abstract: A panel rigidizer for maintaining linear alignment of a plurality of space dividing wall panels interconnected by cylindrical support posts. The panel rigidizer spans the interconnection of a pair of wall panels and associated connecting post and includes a pair of linearly aligned leg portions which are secured to the top edge of the wall panels and a central hub portion which overlies the cylindrical post and receives therethrough the post cap.

Abstract: A cable manager for concealing and controlling electrical and telephone cables in an office environment is disclosed. The cable manager includes a base housing member and a hinged top closure member. A plurality of leaf springs releasably retain the top closure in either the open or closed position and hidden access to the interior of the closed cable manager is provided along its entire length.

Abstract: A wall-mounted support rail for mounting and supporting a plurality of paper-handling trays and the like, and which is adapted to be mounted to a pair of laterally spaced, vertical slotted standards. The support rail includes an elongated slot in the front surface which is adapted to receive paper-handling elements of differing construction, and includes mounting clip members on the rear surface adjacent the ends of the rail which interlock with slots in the vertical slotted standards.
