Abstract: An indexable terminal retainer for a modular wiring system includes a retainer body that retains a terminal, the retainer body being dimensioned to fit within a retainer-receiving holder of a plug or receptacle. The indexable terminal retainer further includes a locking member for locking the retainer body to the retainer-receiving holder to prevent rotation of the retainer body within the retainer-receiving holder.

Abstract: A terminal retainer for a modular wiring system includes a first retainer component made of an electrically insulating material, an internal post protruding from an inner surface of the first retainer component, a terminal made of an electrically conductive material and adapted to be electrically joined to an electrical wire, the terminal having a hole for mounting the terminal on the post, and a second retainer component also made of the electrically insulating material, the second retainer component being adapted to attach to the first retainer component to form the terminal retainer.

Abstract: An extensometer for detecting traumatized ligaments where the elongation of the ligament is either abnormally large or abnormally small compared to the elongation measured on a healthy ligament for an angle of flexion of the knee. The extensometer includes at least one flexible member having a strain gauge secured thereto to measure deflexion of the flexible member from its normal configuration. The flexible member has a free end and is secured at its opposed end to a support base. A clamping member is provided to retain the free end of the flexible member on a ligament while maintaining the support base substantially stationary with respect to the ligament whereby elongation of the ligament is detected by the deformation of the flexible member from its initial configuration.
