Abstract: A substrate for a tamper sensor includes a plurality of walls and a tab. The walls define a protective volume with an open side. The walls have a plurality of open edges adjacent the open side and a plurality of interior edges different from the open edges. The tab extends from one of the interior edges of one of the walls and is disposed within the protective volume.

Abstract: A method of and/or apparatus for mounting a furniture unit on a substantially vertical surface, such as a wall, includes establishing a first mount, with the furniture unit supported on the mount while level is established, and a second mount is then fixed in place. The first and second mounts are vertically spaced so that the unit can rest, under gravity, in a stable manner while level is established and the second mount is fixed in place.

Abstract: A sensor includes a substrate having a curved surface, a piezoelectric element, and an adhesive disposed between the piezoelectric element and the curved surface along a vertical direction. The adhesive attaches the piezoelectric element to the substrate. The adhesive has an exterior bond surface that has a tapered shape along the vertical direction from the piezoelectric element to the curved surface.

Abstract: A bubble measurement system includes a bubble detector including a vessel having a flow path configured to receive a flow of fluid includes air bubbles from a bubble generator. The bubble measurement system includes an imaging system having an imaging device for imaging the fluid and air bubbles in the flow path of the vessel of the bubble detector. The imaging system has an imaging controller coupled to the imaging device and receiving images from the imaging device. The imaging controller processes the images to measure bubble size of each air bubble passing through the bubble detector.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for mounting a toilet seat hinge to a toilet pan uses an adhesive. The adhesivised surface of the hinge is held clear of the pan until correct positioning is established. Thereafter the adhesivised surface is displaced directly into contact with the pan.

Abstract: A tamper sensor assembly that includes a substrate with a protective bulk section including tamper circuitry and a hardware section configured to receive hardware circuitry and extending from the protective bulk section; the hardware circuitry electrically connected to the tamper circuitry to alter operation of the hardware circuitry responsive to modification of the tamper circuitry. The substrate additionally includes an attachment section extending from the hardware section. The tamper sensor assembly also includes a first fold in the substrate to position a first portion of the hardware section to extend along the protective bulk section, and a second fold in the substrate to position a second portion of the hardware section to extend along the first portion of the hardware section.

Abstract: A tamper sensor that includes a substrate and a conductive layer placed on the substrate. The tamper sensor also includes an insulation layer that is stacked on the conductive layer to form a layered tamper circuit. In addition, the substrate of the tamper sensor is the only substrate of the tamper sensor.

Abstract: A submersible device sealing system includes a submersible device, a cable having wires connected to the submersible device, and a sheath about the wires. There is a sleeve about the cable sheath, and a crimp about the sleeve. An encapsulant is disposed about the crimp, the wires, and the submersible device to prevent fluid ingress to the wires connected to the submersible device. The encapsulant is made of material separable from the cable sheath but the crimp is made of a material bondable to the encapsulant to seal the submersible device with respect to the fluid.

Abstract: System and method for managing the configuration of resources in an enterprise. Embodiments of the present invention gather, store, and maintain institutional knowledge of configurations of IT resources of an enterprise. A configuration database serves as a temporal record of the configurations of the resources. The configuration database can reflect a dimensional model of the enterprise configuration where various configuration items are linked together. A configuration change can be analyzed and approved, and then reflected in a change to a configuration item (CI) which imposes an appropriate change to other configuration items based on upstream, downstream, peer relationships and/or views. A system according to an embodiment of the invention can also include a change database, an inventory database, a problem database, and/or a service level management subsystem to ensure changes to an enterprise's configuration are consistent with service level agreements and/or operating level agreements.

Abstract: A container (10) to be movable from an erect configuration to a folded configuration enabling stacking of a plurality of the containers (10). The containers has a pair of side walls (16) that fold down on to the base (14), and a pair of end walls (18) including an upper panel that is pivotally attached to the rim (12), and a lower panel (32) pivotally attached to the base (14). The panels (30, 32) pivot to provide for movement of the rim (12) to the base (14) so the container (10) assumes a folded configuration.
