Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for optimizing and managing high volume processes by atomizing the work into discrete elements, tasks and components and batching similar elements, and then tracking, pushing, gating, automating and monitoring in real time task element groupings for just-in-time assignment, and then reassembled into a finished product to which quality control standards are enforced uniformly throughout via a network, as elements and tasks are completed on network connected user devices.

Abstract: A tool for holding and positioning an electrical junction box includes a pair of handles pivotally connected in a lever arrangement so that squeezing together the grip portions of the handles urges apart the jaw portions of the handles. A spring biases the jaw portions together. A first jaw portion has a flat surface for contacting an outside of a wall electrical junction box. A second jaw portion has two spaced apart fingers for contacting an inside surface of the wall of the junction box so that the jaw portions grip the wall in a three-point connection. The first jaw portion has a sliding adjustable plate for contacting the face of a wall stud or ceiling joist to set the distance from that face that the front edge of the wall of the junction box will be positioned.

Abstract: A tool for use in stripping plastic sheath from electrical cable has first and second handles pivotally connected in a scissor-like configuration so that each handle has a grip portion and a jaw portion. Each jaw portion carries a jaw element with a transverse cutting blade and a longitudinal slitting blade. The cable is inserted between the jaw elements so that it extends through the tool between and generally parallel to the handles. When the grip portions are moved together, the jaw elements engage the cable so that each transverse blade makes a transverse cut through the plastic sheath. At the same time each longitudinal blade makes a slit in the plastic sheath near the transverse cut. The tool is then pulled toward a free end of the cable so that each longitudinal blade slits the plastic sheath to the free end. The transverse blades are pivotally mounted on the jaw elements so that they swing away from their cutting position when the tool is moved along the cable.
