  • Publication number: 20160286358
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for guiding a client device user toward a host device, which may include receiving, by positioning circuitry of a client device, position information regarding a position of a host device and activating a display of the client device, in response to receiving the position information, to display an indicator representing a direction toward the host device and distance between the host device and the client device based on the position information. The indicator may include a pointer having an orientation in the direction toward the host device and a length corresponding to the distance between the host device and the client device. The host device may communicate with a bridge device via a particular wireless communications standard, and the bridge may relay such communications to client devices via another wireless communications standard with which the host device is not equipped.

  • Patent number: 7194807
    Abstract: Nail clippers having both shielded cutting blades to prevent intentional or accidental injury and an integral means for collecting clipped nails. The nail clippers include two hollow cylindrical housings each having both a closed and open end. The edges of the open ends of both housings each have a corresponding concave sharpened section, forming the cutting edges of a nail clipping slot. The housings are both slideably connected to and spring biased against each other. A nail inserted into the nail clipping slot is clipped by squeezing the housings together. Clipped nails are collected in the closed end of one of the housings. The closed end may be opened and/or removed to discard the clippings.

  • Patent number: 4998067
    Abstract: Portable testing apparatus for low current circuit breakers which enables short circuit and constant current tests to be conducted at the breaker panel. A first container includes a parallel array of resistive loads each under control of a corresponding relay. Low voltage control circuitry is provided in a second container and permits variation of the load appearing in series with the circuit breaker under test. The short circuit test can be performed at the first container which operates at the line voltage.
