Abstract: A user selection of one or more nodes of a hierarchical data structure is received. A plurality of available tokens associated with the one or more selected nodes based at least in part on metadata associated with the plurality of elements is determined. A plurality of character lengths corresponding to the plurality of available tokens is determined. A user input of content for a field in a template is received where the field is associated with a character count limit and the user input comprising at least one of the determined plurality of available tokens. A character count associated with the user input is dynamically updated. A plurality of documents is to be composed where the plurality of documents corresponds to the plurality of elements associated with the one or more selected nodes.

Abstract: Arrangements and methods for connecting and mounting decorative ornaments, for example, beads, crystals, or gems, are disclosed. The arrangements and methods are particularly useful in mounting ornaments in decorative fixtures, such as chandeliers. In one aspect, an arrangement is provided that includes a first ornament having two mounting apertures and a second ornament having at least one mounting aperture; and at least one connector for connecting the first ornament to the second ornament whereby when hung the two apertures of the first ornament are laterally disposed from each other. Multiple pre-formed connectors are disclosed for use in connecting ornaments, such as ornament chains. Mounting hooks, mounting devices, and mounting arrangements are also provided for attaching ornaments to a support, for instance, mounting devices fabricated from thin plate, for example, by laser cutting.

Abstract: A knife, comprising a handle including a blade feed aperture, a thumb aperture, and a cartridge loading aperture disposed through the front, side and back end of the handle. The knife also includes a blade disposed within the handle, wherein the blade may be coated with a non-stick material. The handle also includes a biased member disposed within the handle and configured to bias the blade. The handle may also include a cartridge disposed within the handle and configured to store a plurality of blades. The cartridge includes a safety lock mechanism; wherein the safety lock mechanism is disposed near a front end of the handle and configured to selectably lock a blade in a lateral position. The cartridge may be selectably removable from the handle or the cartridge may be permanently coupled to the handle of the knife.

Aspects of the invention may be used for large fixtures, such as large chandeliers, to minimize or prevent the twisting of long chains of ornaments and to support the loading of larger ornaments.

Abstract: Arrangements, braces, and methods for supporting an arm of an ornamental fixture, for example, chandeliers, are provided. The arrangements and braces include elongated elements having first ends adapted to be mounted to a support, a second free end, and a platform located between the first end and the second end for supporting the arm of the fixture. Aspects of the invention may be used to support fragile arms of chandeliers, for example, glass arms. Aspects of the invention allow for the use of longer arms, for example, for use in chandeliers over 10 feet in diameter, or for arms having higher loadings, for example, having heavier or more numerous ornaments and light fixtures.

Abstract: The invention provides a two piece chandelier securable at two discrete positions. An upper and lower framework are moveable with respect to one another along a displacement axis and are securable in an access position and a decorative position, whereby access to an internal component of the chandelier such as a lighting element is facilitated in the access position relative to the decorative position.

Abstract: A chlorine generating apparatus is disclosed herein by which chlorine gas or sodium hyperchlorite is generated in small quantities from a brine solution economically enough to be practical for use in the backyard swimming pool. The apparatus includes a free standing unit and cell utilizing only salt as its raw material to generate the chlorine required. The chlorine generating cell incorporates a chemical pump for forciably urging the resulting product to the pool without the use of mechanical pumps or membranes. A device is included whereby hardness minerals are prevented from being deposited within the cell.
