Abstract: A table includes a support assembly, a sliding assembly, and a table top. The sliding assembly includes at least one sliding guide rail, which is fixedly coupled to the support assembly, and at least one slide, which is slidably coupled to the at least one sliding guide rail. The table top is fixedly coupled to the at least one slide such that the table top is slidable relative to the support assembly between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the table top is aligned with the support assembly, and in the second position, the table top is not aligned with the support assembly.

Abstract: A power consumption monitor, system, and method for monitoring power consumed by equipment, appliances, devices, buildings, and campuses is accomplished by passive sensors (12, 40) that detect power transmitted by individual conductors (C), and which include a current to voltage transformer with a passive, open-circuit electromagnetic force concentrator (22) positioned near the conductor (C). The sensor (22) generates an amplitude signal proportional to the power passing through the conductor (C). Programmable radios on a chip (32, 62, 72) and systems on a chip (34, 64, 74) are used to transmit the amplitude signal to a monitor (50) that displays the power being consumed along with actual and estimated cost and historical information. Software programs are implemented across the sensors (12, 40) and monitors (50) and a remote computer (80) to enable real-time monitoring power consumption with a resolution that spans from entire campuses down to single devices.

Abstract: A current sensing apparatus suitable for sensing the amount of current flowing in a power feeder cable without the necessity for any ohmic connection between the meter and the circuit being measured that does not require separation of the wires in a cable and in fact utilizes both current carrying wires simultaneously includes a magnetically permeable core suitable for concentrating the magnetic fields generated by the current flowing in the pair of wires and includes a single coil disposed upon the core. The core includes a pair of poles which are placed proximate to the feeder cable and the coil yields an induced output voltage proportionate to the current flowing in the feeder cable and may be held in position on the feeder cable with the aid of a resilient member which permits ready removal of the sensing apparatus.

Abstract: To enable a user to conveniently determine the amount of AC electrical power supplied by a cable assembly being consumed by appliances at any time, and to thereby enable control of power consumption, a meter indicating power consumption is installed at a convenient remote location and is wired to a sensing unit which is applied externally to the supply cable assembly. No penetration of or other physical connection with cable conductors is necessitated. An induction type sensor or Hall effect sensor may be utilized. The device is applicable to residential, commercial and industrial user/applications and may be built in or portable.
