  • Patent number: 11949373
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and devices for managing wires and cables associated with residential, commercial, industrial, and utility-scale solar panel installations. The system can include wire management clips. Some of the wire management clips described can attach to the sides and tops of rails that are used to mount solar panels. Others can attach to the return flange (i.e., inner lip) of a solar panel frame. The wire management clips that mount to the return flange can be used in both rail and rail-less solar panel assemblies.

  • Patent number: 9761122
    Abstract: A microprocessor-based electronic control system allows firefighters and emergency response personnel the ability to assign individual sleeping quarters, dorm rooms or an area of a facility to a specific apparatus/vehicle/unit that is dispatched through an existing electronic fire station alert notification system. The control system controls actuation of devices throughout a building from any location as well as from remote locations. The devices can be anything such as lights, speakers, appliances, watering systems, and other devices. This is accomplished by a network of nodes including a master controller and a plurality of slaves. The system is modular and scalable according to need. It is also flexible for use on various applications. Programmable switches are used for displaying statuses and for selecting various options.

  • Patent number: 5613030
    Abstract: An enclosure (10) of the type having a patch panel (56) mountable at an interior location spaced inwardly a selected distance from a front opening (22). A card region (50) behind patch panel (56) receives splice cards (100) or connector cards (200) slidably along pairs of card guides (62, 64). Splice cards (100) include splice connectors (130) along front face (126) for directly splicing first fiber ends (132) to second fiber ends (138) at patch panel (56) in a manner permitting easy unsplicing and resplicing, enabling a high density of optical interconnections. Connector cards (200) provide connectors for mating terminated fiber ends, permitting unmating thereof. A forward, latchable card position is provided facilitating fiber interconnection therewith forwardly of in-service latched positions of adjacent cards. Fiber exits (314) are provided for direct routing of fibers between stacked enclosures (300).
