  • Patent number: 6491412
    Abstract: An illuminated sign having an LED as a light source as claimed. A housing has a plurality of internal surfaces wherein at least one of the internal surfaces is a translucent surface. A reflective layer covers each of said internal surfaces except the translucent surface. At least one LED is positioned between the internal surfaces such that the illumination field of the LED is in a direction substantially opposite that of the translucent surface.

  • Publication number: 20020079118
    Abstract: A combination current sensor and relay has an improved housing. In one aspect, the housing includes light emitting diodes on an upper surface that indicate open circuit and short circuit conditions. In another aspect, the housing includes a securement structure for a circuit board that includes the transformer and switches for device operation, together with aligned openings therein for routing wires to external devices. In another aspect, a multiple position switch is included on the upper surface that indicates multiple modes of operation of the device. In another aspect, the housing may be assembled in multiple parts by affixing a first portion to a support, a circuit board to the first potion, and a second portion to the first portion. In another aspect, the housing is suitable for engagement to alternatively a junction box and a duplex box. In another aspect, the configuration of the upper surface provides usability advantages.

  • Patent number: 4808743
    Abstract: Vinyl chloroformates are described of formula ##STR1## in which: R.sub.1 .dbd.R.sub.2 .dbd.Cl, Br or a saturated 1-4 carbon atom alkyl or together they form a cycloaliphatic ring of 4-8 carbon atoms;R.sub.3 .dbd.H when R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 .dbd.alkyl; saturated alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms or aryl; ##STR2## in which R.sub.4 .dbd.R.sub.5 .dbd.alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms or R.sub.3 forms with R.sub.2 a C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 ring which may have attached oxygen atoms. The process of preparation consists of reacting phosgene with the corresponding compounds containing alpha halogen and a carbonyl group. The products are very useful to obtain vinyl carbonates and carbamates.
