Abstract: A system to monitor power line temperatures, ground moisture levels, to visually inspect the area around said power line poles and to transmit said data over short, mid, or long range to a monitoring base station for analysis. Said means for monitoring power line conditions are a non-contact temperature sensor, a photo-interrupter, and a digital camera. The camera will be capable of responding to motion automatically or be used in a remote fashion either by day or night. By utilizing the current monitoring setup the potential errors, dangers, or threats of power line failure may be avoided. Further, through the following set up analysis of a failure event at a specific (or group of) power line may be done on site, or remotely and will greatly increase the efficient analysis and repair of failure events.

Abstract: A reusable quick installation electrical junction box for securing electrical devices and faceplates using a single-drive locking pin. The single-drive locking pin is a reusable locking pin used to secure an electrical device and faceplate to the electrical speed box through a concerted driving motion involving insertion into the engaging mechanism followed by 90 degree rotation.
