Abstract: An ultrasound probe assembly comprises a housing and a wedge, wherein wedges configured for pipes of different diameter may be easily interchanged in the assembly. Four wheels are attached to the housing, there being a front wheel pair and a rear wheel pair. Wheels of each pair are positioned on either side of a linear probe array, wherein the distance between wheels in each pair in a direction perpendicular to the array length is as small as possible. A position encoder monitors the position of the assembly during scanning, and a push lock switch is used to disable the encoder and the data acquisition while indexing to a new scan position on the pipe.

Abstract: The funeral tray can have an elongated bottom and an upwardly projecting wall peripheral to the bottom and leading to a raised rim, defining a concave shape sized and configured to receive the body of a deceased person, the upwardly projecting wall and the bottom being integral to one another and made of bio-based material.

Abstract: Disclosed is a touchscreen display assembly for use in harsh environments. The touchscreen cable emerges from the touchscreen through a hole in a glass panel. The hole is inside the perimeter of a sealing strip which forms the seal for the touchscreen airgap. The touchscreen may be assembled and tested independently, and subsequently integrated with a display screen and protective front cover. The seal to the front cover is made without the need for a bezel overlapping the touchscreen top film, thereby avoiding possible damage to the touchscreen. Elimination of the bezel allows the touchscreen display assembly to have an attractive planar front surface, and also avoids accumulation of dirt between a bezel and the touchscreen top film.

Abstract: There is provided a device and a method for controlling a supply of power from an AC power source to a load. A switch is arranged in series electrical connection between the power source and the load, the switch having a first state in which the switch connects the load to the power source for supplying an electrical current from the power source to the load and a second state in which the switch disconnects the load from the power source. A power stealing circuit is arranged in parallel electrical connection to the switch and adapted to divert the electrical current away from the power source with the switch in the second state, the power stealing circuit comprising a linear semiconductor device adapted to control a rate of change of a first voltage across terminals of the switch upon the switch being brought to the first state.

Abstract: An electronic controller that is adapted to cooperate with a decorative wall plate is provided. In one illustrative embodiment, the electronic controller may be adapted to be mounted in a junction box, with a user interface having a shape and size to fit within one or more apertures in a wall plate. The wall plate may be secured relative to the electronic controller and/or junction box such that the user interface extends at least partially through the one or more aperture in the wall plate.
