  • Lighting device adapted to be removably positioned at any point along an electrical cord
    Patent number: 6290365
    Abstract: A light assembly adapted to be removably affixed to an electrical cord at any point along the length of the cord. The light assembly generally includes a housing and a lighting element. The housing has a cord channel adapted to receive the electrical cord, and first and second electrical conductors, each having first and second ends, respectively. The first ends of the first and second electrical conductors protrude into the cord channel. The lighting element is in electrical communication with the first and second electrical conductors.

  • Method for semi-reliable, unidirectional broadcast information services
    Patent number: 5805825
    Abstract: An asymmetric communication protocol providing semi-reliable transmission with improved availability. Messages are provided to a scheduling sender which repeatedly rebroadcasts the data for a specified time period. Multiple messages are arranged in a data carousel with each message transmitted on each revolution of the carousel. Messages are removed as they become obsolete. Clients joining the broadcast late continue to have access to data on the carousel.

  • Visual alarm device interconnectable to existing monitoring circuitry
    Patent number: 5008655
    Abstract: A visual alarm device monitors the condition of a control and indication circuit and gives a distinct visual alarm upon detection of an abnormal condition in the monitored circuit. The device uses the indicator lights of the monitored circuit itself to give the visual alarm. The alarm device interconnects with the monitored circuit locally requiring no new cabling and remains in a passive state until an abnormal condition is detected. When the monitored circuit is rendered inoperative by a thermal overload trip, the alarm device becomes active to flash the indicator lights to provide a distinct visual alarm. Included in the device is a test switch, an appropriate voltage converter, an oscillator, and a power indication light.
