  • Publication number: 20100300861
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method are disclosed for eliminating phantom power wastage utilizing a power tap. An insulation casing creates a receiving space for a printed circuit board which mounts male blades, female receptacles, phantom power indication and a mechanical electrical switching capability is disclosed. The conductive male blades and female receptacles create a cross pattern for a two pronged power tap that allows miniaturization of the power tap so as to allow full access to adjacent electrical outlets. Switching states include normally open which permits zero power flow and normally closed which permits power indication and allows power to flow from conductive male blades to conductive female receiving receptacles.

  • Patent number: 7800827
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a vision correction lens that has a front face and a rear face, and into which light beams emitted by an optical element of a light beam generator system are introduced via an entry surface and directed towards the eye of the wearer to enable information content to be viewed, said light beams being reflected a plurality of times between two “reflection” faces between being introduced into the lens and exiting therefrom, said two reflection faces being faces of a transparent optical insert constituted by a light guide. According to the invention, said insert is completely contained within the lens.

  • Patent number: 7678344
    Abstract: Process and device for regeneration of a used absorbent from a desulfurization zone or from the desulfurization of a gas containing sulfur oxides, comprising regeneration simultaneously with filtering of the absorbent, in a reducing atmosphere, wherein partial combustion of a regeneration gas is also carried out upstream from regeneration, the products of the partial combustion being mixed with the used absorbent prior to the regeneration-filtration stage. The absorbent may be, e.g., solid absorbents based on magnesium oxide. The regeneration gas may be hydrogen sulfide and/or a hydrocarbon. For example, H2S can be partially combusted and the products of the partial combustion, including H2S, H2, SO2 and sulfur, mixed with the used absorbent prior to the regeneration-filtration stage.
