Abstract: A system for monitoring parameters of load equipment is provided. A power connector is provided with intelligence, at least one sensor, and a wireless communication component. The power connector is capable of monitoring physical parameters measured by the at least one sensor, such as voltage, current, temperature, and moisture. The system can further provide an alarm if the sensed parameter falls out of a predetermined range.

Abstract: A strain relief connector assembly for flexible electrical wiring is provided that includes an adapter that is configured to form a sealed connection to the wiring and a connector and to form a connection with a strain relieving device, which can include an arc of bend control mesh.

Abstract: A blind rivet is provided that is operable for insertion into a workpiece. The blind rivet can include a body portion having a first end and second end. The body portion can include a radial flange formed at the first end and can define a bore extending through the body portion. The rivet can include a mandrel with a mandrel head operable to engage the second end of the body portion. The mandrel head can be larger than the bore and can be coupled to a stem. The stem can be configured to pass through the bore and the flange to enable the body portion to engage the workpiece. The radial flange can also include a plurality of bearing surfaces adapted to be coupled to at least one tool for receipt of a predetermined torsional load at the radial flange to cause failure of the body portion.

Abstract: Highly accurate time interval measurement is achieved for an electrical waveform. The electrical waveform is sampled and converted to a series of voltages, and the series of voltages is interpolated in order to form a time tag list, using interpolations that are optimized for time interval measurement and analysis. The time tag list accurately represents the times at which particular events of interest occur, and is used to generate displays and results analysis such as adjacent cycle jitter and accurate differential triggering and analysis.

Abstract: This invention is a dual shutoff key which is a single tool for shutting off both gas and water utilities. This capability is important in emergencies, such as approaching hurricanes or after an earthquake. The key consists of a main bar having a U-channel at one end for main water valve shutoff, and a skew slot for main gas valve shutoff. Hinged to the main bar is a lever bar which can swing out at right angles to the main bar to provide leverage when turning a normally tight or even corroded water valve. The main bar is long enough to reach down to below-ground water valves, and the lever bar is long enough to provide a torque of 150 foot-pounds. This enables persons with limited manual strength--such as children, the handicapped and the elderly--to shut off water.For gas shutoff the main bar provides sufficient leverage and the lever bar is placed in the folded position adjacent to the main bar. The lever bar is held in place by detents in the folded position.

Abstract: Toilet compositions in beta-phase bar form comprising 45% to 95% C.sub.8-24 fatty acid soap, 0% to 45% synthetic surfactant, and 0.01% to 5% of a water-soluble polymer. The compositions have improved lathering characteristics with excellent transparency/translucency.

Abstract: Detergent compositions in bar form comprising a water-insoluble, synthetic, amorphous, particulate silica or silicate having a specific surface area of at least 25 square meters per gram. The compositions are preferably milled toilet bars and demonstrate improved lathering, smear, cleansing performance and skin feel characteristics.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel suds-depressants and to detergent compositions containing them.
