  • Patent number: 5969932
    Abstract: A power surge protection assembly for use in electrical panel boxes having multiple electrical components. The power surge protection assembly includes a bus bar connected to a power supply, typically ground. The power surge protection assembly additionally includes a suppression box having a top surface, a bottom surface, sides, and ends for encasing a power surge suppression circuit. A conductor extends outward from an end of the suppression box. A coupler is attached to the bus bar for receiving the conductor and mechanically coupling the suppression box to the bus bar and electrically coupling the suppression box to the power supply. A variety of conductors and couplers are disclosed including post, bar, and plug conductors and snap ring, clip, jack, and bore couplers. The power surge protection assembly is particularly adapted for stacking two or more surge suppression boxes.

  • Patent number: 5304111
    Abstract: A flexible planar magnetic sheet for therapeutic use has a regular repeating pattern of curved first and second areas of alternating magnetic polarity arranged so that a line traverses a plurality of said curved areas in a majority of possible orientations of the line along the surface plane of the sheet with respect to the pattern. In one embodiment, the pattern comprises an array of polka dot regions of one polarity uniformly sized and spaced on a background of opposite polarity. Alternatively, the pattern can be shaped as a series of interdigitated undulating first and second areas of alternating magnetic polarity. The areas each have curved boundaries defined by wavy lines and a width which varies between a maximum and a minimum proceeding generally lengthwise along the wavy lines of a lengthwise periodicity to define lobe-shaped portions of each area.
