Abstract: A universal canister flush valve having a valve body configured to be fixed relative to a toilet tank and having a hollow wall defining an internal flow passage; a guide post coupled to and extending away from the valve body; a float fitted about and configured to slide relative to the guide post between a closed position and an open position, the float having an open top; and an extender that selectively couples to the open top in a first position, in which a first end of the extender is received in and coupled to the open top, and in a second position, in which a second end of the extender is received in and coupled to the open top, wherein the extender and float define a first overflow height in the first position and define a second overflow height in the second position.

Abstract: A wearable exercise suit is taught which uses the elongated configuration of the raglan sleeve to ensure a more intense exercise experience. The invention teaches a long sleeved raglan shirt having resistance bands included therein for exercising the human muscles. The resistance bands are connected at the wearer's wrists and at shoulder locations. Tension is created in the resistance bands when the wearer moves his appendages. In one embodiment, the resistance bands are connected at multiple locations on the raglan sleeve to further increase tension and resistance to movement.

Abstract: A solderless in-line connector has a U-shaped slotted contact member, with the slots extending the length of the respective upright portion of the member and into the base portion. This contact member geometry results, upon insertion of a wire into the slot, in elastic torsional as well as bending deformation of the contact member, which in turn permits accommodation of a wide range of wire sizes in a low profile connector. Further desirable features of the connector are the possibility of installation without use of special tools, and the possibility of sequential contact formation. The connector can advantageously be used for splicing small pair count cables, but it can also be adapted for making half taps.

Abstract: Apparatus, and associated methodology, for testing shielded, multipair cables to verify conductor and splice continuity comprises: means (120,122) for magnetically coupling excitation source (110) to the conductor (106) under test; and means (121,123) for magnetically coupling a series path comprising the conductor under test to detector means (130,131,140-143,150,160,200-207,301-313). The detector means includes means (160) for indicating that the conductor (106) and splice (108) are electrically continuous whenever the detector means senses a signal above a predetermined threshold.
