Abstract: Herein presented are systems and methods for majority-vote, single fault tolerant switching of a switch using an electrical circuit that involves power transistors that carry relatively large electrical currents through the switch. The number of power transistors in the circuit of a majority-vote, single fault tolerant power switch may be reduced to four, thus saving circuit board space and producing relatively less heat. This may be done by avoiding the use of a third electrical branch that is generally used for triple module redundant power switches. In cases where a power transistor is relatively large and produces a relatively large amount of heat, reducing the number of this type of circuit component in a switch circuit may provide benefits such as reduced circuit board footprint and reduced heat generation.

Abstract: A movable bathroom-fixture system, comprising bathroom fixtures modified to allow adjustment of their position in a bathroom; and the means to mount said fixtures on bathroom walls so that the fixture placement is adjustable. The modifiable fixtures include a moveable sink fixture, a moveable shower fixture, a moveable wet wall, a height adjustable toilet seat, and drainage tiles. Depending on the size of the bathroom the modifiable fixtures can be slideably and/or removably attached to moveable wall panel units, moveable walls, moveable panels, or fixture interface units.

Abstract: A door latch opening system for providing efficient and convenient opening of a door latch. The door latch opening system includes an engaging member have a broad engaging area, a receiver member attached to the rear portion of the engaging member, and a coupler member attached within the receiver member. The coupler member has a coupler slot that snugly fits about the door latch handle effectively securing the engaging member to the door latch handle.

Abstract: A toothbrush holder adapter having an elongated body, an insertion member extending downwardly from a first end of the body to be inserted into a hole of a standard toothbrush holder and an opening at a second end of the body for receiving at least a portion of a toothbrush handle. The insertion member preferably includes extensions or fins to engage the interior of the opening of a standard toothbrush holder.

Abstract: A hanger for suspending a plurality of graduated measuring devices comprising a first section having an engaging member thereon from which the hanger is supported, an elongated member on which the measuring devices are suspended and a stop for limiting movement of the measuring devices off of the hanger, said stop located at an end of the hanger opposite the first section and said elongated member operatively extending between the stop and the first section. The hanger is rigidly formed and, preferably, is a one piece structure.

Abstract: A kitchen tool having a work end, a handle formed of two parallel bars extending from the work end and a sliding rest on the handle. The sliding rest has two securing members that fit around the outer surface of the parallel bars of the handle wherein the securing members allow the rest to be secured to the handle in slidable relation.

Abstract: A potato-vegetable peeler structured with a longitudinally disposed shaftway to secure the peeler blade and facilitate cleaning of the peeler and shaftway and a method for making the peeler.
