Abstract: An adhesive tape (20) includes a plurality of marks (30-36) that facilitate the installation of lap-siding members (120, 122, 128, 132, 134) on a building (100). The tape is adhered to a wall (104, 106) in a vertical orientation, and the lap siding members are nailed in place over the tape. The marks function as guides for the positioning of the lap-siding members. The tapes is essentially free of indicia that can be confused with the marks to generate measurement errors in during the installation process.

Abstract: A transmitting receiving circuit having two different blocks, one for transmitting, and one for receiving, the transmitting block relying on an inverter and a differential transmitter, while the receiving block has a differential receiver, four optocouplers, two inverters, a voltage regulator and two resistors, the galvanic discoupling being carried out between the parts corresponding to the transmission and reception by telefeeding the differential receiver from the board where the signal is transmitted, the optocouplers separating the receiving block parts fed from the board where the transmitting-receiving circuit is installed, from the parts fed from the module transmitting the signal, the output thereof being optically disconnected from the distant end.
