Abstract: An apparatus and method for sensing body temperature and wirelessly communicating measured data to at least one electronic device. The device includes a sensor device having a housing base, a housing cover releasably mountable on the housing base, and components for sensing body temperature and wirelessly communicating the measured temperature, including a temperature sensor, a power supply, a microprocessor, and a transmitter and receiver. The electronic device can include an application that communicates with the sensor device and provides a user interface.

Abstract: A ceiling fan for a space is provided. The ceiling fan can include a first communication interface configured to provide communications between the ceiling fan and a plurality of peripheral devices over a local network. The ceiling fan can further include a second communication interface configured to provide communications between the ceiling fan and an external network. The ceiling fan can further include one or more control devices configured to provide one or more control signals to control operation of one or more of the peripheral devices.

Abstract: A downsized, high-power, single-pole electrical connector is disclosed. The connector employs an insulating axial positioner between two rigid insulators, such that the insulating axial positioner maintains proper internal axial alignment while allowing for use of a smaller outer shell.

Abstract: A high power, single pole male electrical connector with a reduced surface area contact is disclosed. The male connector is configured for insertion into a female connector of standard design. The reduced surface area of the contact region of the male connector results in less surface contact between the male and female connectors.
