  • Patent number: 11949184
    Abstract: An electrical junction assembly for implementation in a wall that is reconfigurable to accept various types of electrical connectors. Flanges and clips in the electrical junction assembly help self-mount it in a wall. The electrical junction assembly is created from modular receptacles, with each customizable for the type of electrical connection it will accommodate. Keystones are selectively implemented or removed from preconfigured sockets in the receptacles. The receptacles are modular as they may be customized, and then reconfigured as desired, for the number of receptacles and electrical connections they may accommodate.

  • Patent number: 9865971
    Abstract: Reconfigurable electrical and electronic communication receptacle boxes are in an assembly that has a face or plurality of faces having electrical and electronic communication receptacles. The faces are recessed from flanges which are mounted on a wall into which the assembly is inserted. The boxes in the assembly are secured to the wall by rotatable clips having a bent or kick to position correctly the clip when rotated. The assembly can be augmented after initial installation with minimal intrusion and destruction of the wall.

  • Publication number: 20140113485
    Abstract: Low voltage TV input receptacles, that can be single or ganged together in numerous configuration, with a recessed device. It eliminates the need to locate a specific electrical box or plaster ring, because each piece is cut into, and clips onto the wallboard. The clips can be removed, for new construction, and the devices can be used with a electrical box or plaster ring. It easily accommodates future expansion. In addition, it allows flush mounting of television, and flush placement of furniture.

  • Publication number: 20100086648
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the transformation of food-grade sugars containing D-fructose, in caramels enriched in oligosaccharides with prebiotic activity by using solid acid catalysts, such as zeolites, clays or ion-exchange resins in its acid form, under heterogeneous conditions, or by using soluble acid polymer catalysts of high molecular weight, under homogeneous conditions, with the possibility of recycling the catalyst, being compatible with discontinuous or continuous production processes. The resulting caramel exhibits prebiotic properties, favoring the development of a beneficial intestinal flora and a repairing effect in the damaged colon.

  • Patent number: 6824111
    Abstract: The invention relates to a supporting and fastening device for contact wires comprising a preferably one-piece longitudinally extended supporting piece (28, 84) which can be fixed to a pole, pipe, a building well or the like. The inventive device also comprises a coupling element (12, 52, 64, 86; 130, 138) for connecting the supporting piece (28) to a bracing tube or the like. The supporting piece (28) comprises a preferably central, first hole (38) which is provided for interacting with a fitted connecting section (36, 132) of the coupling element and is configured for realizing a connection which can be plugged in, detached, is prevented from running, and which remains fixed when placed under tensile and or pressure load.
