  • Patent number: 7947903
    Abstract: The wall cover plate assembly includes a base and a cover for connecting to an electrical box and an electrical wiring device. The base is connected to the electrical box and/or the electrical wiring device by suitable fasteners. The base includes a first coupling member positioned along opposite side edges and second coupling members positioned at each corner of the base plate. A cover includes a first coupling member for engaging the first coupling member on the base plate and connectors for engaging the second coupling members on the base plate. The connectors of the cover are angled with respect to a plane of the cover to engage a connecting member of the second coupling members. The connectors provide a biasing force to engage the second coupling members of the base which increase when the cover plate is pulled outwardly from the base.

  • Patent number: 7825336
    Abstract: An electrical device box which houses both high and low power devices, such as power and data receptacles, is disclosed. A detachable divider is inserted into the device box to separate the interior of the box into two separate chambers, one for housing the high power device and its corresponding wiring and a second chamber for housing the low power device ant its wiring. The divider is shaped such that one of the chambers has a greater volume than the other chamber and its orientation within the box can be reversed to selectively determine which of the two chambers has the greater volume. Additionally, the electrical box and divider are sizable to accommodate single-gang, double-gang, or larger, configurations.

  • Patent number: 7432442
    Abstract: A surface mount power outlet for connecting to a plug includes a cover having a fin disposed on an outer surface and a substantially circular face with a plurality of slots for receiving a plug. The cover also has a substantially arcuate body disposed below the face, an open back, and a pocket on an inner surface adjacent the fin. A base having a base plate with a shape corresponding to the open back includes a tab protruding from the upper surface for matching up with the pocket when aligned with the fin to complete a rock and lock attachment. The configuration of the cover apertures dictates whether the power outlet accommodates a 30 amp or a 50 amp power receptacle.

  • Patent number: 5663109
    Abstract: A metal/glass paste composition with a high metal to glass ratio and a method of using the paste to adhesively connect an integrated circuit to a ceramic substrate. The glass composition consists essentially of, by weight percent on an oxide basis:about 40-65% Ag.sub.2 Oabout 15-35% V.sub.2 O.sub.5about 0-30% PbO.sub.2about 0-20% TeO.sub.2The essentially resin-free paste utilizes the glass composition described above and, for a metallized ceramic substrate, has a metal:glass ratio of from about 8:1 up to about 11.5:1. For a bare (nonmetallized) ceramic substrate, the paste has a metal:glass ratio of from about 8:1 up to about 32:1.
