Abstract: A metal port block is used on an intermediate distributor or vertical terminal block in a connection architecture to obtain a metal contact of the combined voice and data signals, which can subsequently be monitored by a test rack, without needing to disconnect or reconnect any bridge or cable. The access to the intermediate distribution frame can be established by a connecting block with which a plurality of boards are associated. The boards are vertically arranged in an array and each incorporates its relays or associated electronics to extract and supply information to a test table. Each board has pins to couple with the cavities of the distribution frame.

Abstract: A strip is provided with a series of housings for a like number of terminals to which conductor wires accede thrust by a tool in order to establish a connection, by means of displacing the conductor wires over the terminals. Each housing or chamber is independent of those adjacent, the separation being constituted by means of transversal partitions, which makes possible the pouring of a sealing gel into the respective housing chamber up to a level which is at a height lower than the entrance step of the conductor wires and above the edge of the terminals, with the objective that both said terminals and the connections thereof with the conductors be immersed in the sealing gel in order to prevent oxidation on the connections.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a feminine care product comprises a cover layer containing a cover material and indicia imprinted thereon, a liquid impervious bottom layer bonded to the cover layer, and an absorbent core intermediate the cover layer and the bottom layer. The indicia is formed from an ink comprising a surfactant and/or a botanical extract in an amount effective to increase the absorptive properties of bodily exudates into the cover layer as compared to the cover layer without the surfactant and/or botanical extract.

Abstract: In wideband filter installations and connections it is proposed to replace the conventional connection assembly for connecting the filter card (1′) to the corresponding wiring (7), by a single strip (8) with closed contacts. This allows the size of the frame (5′) to be significantly reduced and also allows the contact between the voice input and the corresponding output to be maintained in the event of a failure at the data input. In addition, the filter cards (1′) preferably are individual cards, for a single user, allowing to install them one-by-one on a multiple strip as the number of users increases.
