  • Publication number: 20020023963
    Abstract: The smart card according to the present invention includes a first integrated electronic module on one surface and another integrated electronic module on the opposite surface of the card, whereby the card is merely flipped over and reinserted into the electronic device to change applications or functions. The two integrated electronic modules provided on opposing surfaces of the card may be formed as two separate chips each embedded on one side of the card, or as one chip having exposed contact terminals on both faces of the card, depending on the size of the chip(s) mounted in the card. Alternatively, two integrated electronic modules can be both provided on the same surface of the card, in which case the card is rotated 180° to place the desired integrated electronic module in contact with the contact interface in the device to access the desired application or function.

  • Patent number: 5480311
    Abstract: An electrical pipe fitting with integral grounding fixture for securing a grounding wire. The pipe fitting is adapted to be removably secured to an electrical receptacle box. Each electrical pipe fitting includes a hollow metal tubular member for receiving electrical wire. The tubular member is adapted to be coupled as an intermediate section of a grounded electrical pipe. The tubular member has a first end and a second end. The first end is adapted to be coupled to a section of the electrical pipe. The second end includes threads which mate with threads on a collar to secure the fitting to the receptacle box. A raised portion extends from the tubular member and includes an aperture for receiving and securing a grounding wire, whereby a ground path is established between the grounding wire and the electrical pipe. The raised portion can be formed integrally with the tubular member or provided on a separate sleeve which extends over the tubular member.

  • Patent number: 5306170
    Abstract: An electrical pipe fitting with an integral fixture for securing a grounding wire. The pipe fitting includes a hollow metal tubular member for receiving electrical wire, the hollow tubular member being specifically designed to be coupled as an intermediate section of a grounded electrical pipe. A raised portion is formed integrally with and extends from the hollow tubular member. The raised portion has an aperture into which a grounding wire is received and secured by a screw to establish a ground path between the grounding wire and the electrical pipe. Additionally, a clamp is disposed adjacent the aperture for securing an insulated portion of the ground wire against hollow tubular member. The electrical pipe fitting can either be a straight section or, alternatively, can include an angled corner, so that the ends of the fitting are perpendicular to each other. A removable cover is preferably provided in the embodiment of the invention with the angled corner to facilitate access to the electrical wire.
