Abstract: The present application provides a pass-through plug, including: a first housing, comprising a plurality of sockets; a second housing, configured to be connected with the first housing; and a tamper resistant assembly, trapped between the first housing and the second housing and configured to selectively block the plurality of sockets when the plurality of sockets are not simultaneously operated. The provided pass-through plug can reduce the potential risk of people accidentally inserting conductive objects into the socket holes.

Abstract: A charging station is provided, having an AC outlet, a USB outlet, and a wireless charging circuit, with a liquid control chamber having one or more walls that receive liquid passing through the AC outlet and drain it down a drain tube. The drain tube delivers the liquid to a drain aperture surrounded by walls in the bottom of the charging station, where the liquid is retained while it drains out of the charging station. The charging station may also include one or both of a wireless receiver and speaker, and/or a clock controller, a plurality of multi-function controls, and an audio transducer. The speaker outputs an audio signal corresponding to a received wireless signal. The clock controller provides alarm clock functionality via a display and the audio transducer in response to the multi-function controls.

Abstract: A charging station is provided, having an AC outlet, a USB outlet, and a wireless charging circuit, with an internal fluid control chamber surrounding a lower portion of the AC outlet, such that substantially all fluid entering the charging station via the AC outlet is initially retained within the fluid control chamber and subsequently exits the charging station via a drain aperture.

Abstract: An alarm clock is provided that has a housing, one or more charging ports, an audio transducer, an alarm control device, a display, and a controller. The charging ports are mounted in a surface of the housing and provide power from a power supply to an external device. The controller receives input signals from the alarm control device and sends output signals to the audio transducer and the display. When the controller receives input signals from the alarm control device, it responds by displaying and setting a desired alarm time on the display, and by arming an alarm function. While the alarm function is armed, if a current time matches the alarm time, the controller causes the audio transducer to emit an alarm sound. When the controller receives another input signal from the alarm control device, it responds by taking the alarm time off the display, disarming the alarm function, and, if the alarm sound is being emitted, quieting the alarm sound.

Abstract: An apparatus and method provide for display and cable management includes a base and a display device. The display device removably attaches to the base. When the display device is attached to the base, an aperture is created or reduced in size. The aperture allows a smaller first portion of a cable to pass through, but prevents a larger second portion of the cable from passing through. When the cable is drawn through the aperture and released, the weight of the cable retracts it through the aperture. The display device and base may include features that cooperate to resist detaching the display device when the cable is drawn through the aperture. The display device may include a graphic insert. The base may be shaped to sit on a horizontal surface and present the display device for viewing by a person standing or sitting nearby.

Abstract: A folding platform for mounting to an outer surface of a watercraft includes a platform, a hinge base attached to the outer surface of the watercraft, and a hinge arm pivotally coupled to both the hinge base and the platform. The hinge arm operates to position the platform in a deployed position and a stowed position. A top side of the platform in the deployed position faces away from the outer surface of the watercraft in the stowed position. Where the outer surface of the watercraft is curved, one of a plurality of hinge bases may be pivotally attached to the surface, such that a corresponding plurality of hinge arms move in substantially parallel planes. The hinge arm may be adjustably coupled to the platform such that the position of the hinge arm is capable of being adjusted along the axis of rotation of the pivotal coupling of the hinge arm to the platform.
