Abstract: A socket assembly is for a meter center including at least one meter having a stab. The socket assembly includes a base member; and a jaw assembly having a first jaw member and a second jaw member coupled to the first jaw member, each of the first jaw member and the second jaw member having a number of retaining edges and being structured to engage the stab. The jaw assembly is structured to rotate between a first position corresponding to disengagement between the number of retaining edges and the base member, and a second position corresponding to engagement between the number of retaining edges and the base member.

Abstract: A snowmobile throttle control apparatus includes a pair of bushings with a hole and closed ends and a separate axle pin. The bushings are assembled to a thumb lever and mounted over the axle pin. The axle pin allows for a controlled gap to be maintained between the throttle lever, bushing assembly and the control housing. The thumb lever is allowed to flex open when a side load is applied. Thus allowing the thumb lever assembly to travel without binding on the control housing. This insures proper functioning of the RPS feature.

Abstract: An airport inset light for an airport runway light system comprises a light fixture incorporating a light source that is covered with a lens. A flow path can be provided in the light fixture such that air can pass unrestrictedly between an exterior environment and an interior space of the light fixture. The flow path can be covered or filled with a hydrophobic filter material, which allows for the light fixture interior to exchange air with its exterior environment. Such a flow path can create pressure equalization between the exterior environment and the light fixture interior to prevent the formation of a vacuum in the light fixture interior. Hence, it can eliminate the possibility of water entering the interior of the light source due to pressure differential between the environment and the light source interior.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for providing visible indication of elevated airport light color during a non-operation condition. A set of light emitting diodes (LEDs) can be assembled to a housing of an elevated airport light. The housing and the set of LEDs can be covered by a clear glass, wherein the clear glass can be designed to cover some or an entire external region of the housing. Multiple colored tapes can be applied to a vertical portion of the housing such that, for example, a minimum of two-and-half square inches of the tape is visible from different angles. Therefore, the colored tapes can provide a clear visible indication of the elevated airport light color during a non-operation condition without the need for expensive colored glass and/or lens.
