Abstract: A remote video monitoring and control system for use in cinematography includes an ergonometrically balanced display device of sufficient size and resolution to display images useful in cinematography. A handgrip base is secured to the display device, and a power source is secured to the base. A video signal receiving mechanism is operatively connected to the display device, and receives video signals from a remote camera. A camera control arrangement is operatively connected to the display device to generate camera control signals from an operator of the camera control arrangement. A camera control signal transmitting mechanism transmits camera control signals from the camera control arrangement to the remote camera.

Abstract: A pizza box is provided which has a top wall, bottom wall, rear and front wall and opposing side walls while also having an angled support surface which extends from the top wall to the front wall. Within the angled support surface are provided cup apertures for receiving containers which are maintained securely fitted within the apertures while also viewable from the exterior of the pizza box.

Abstract: A telecommunications connector including seal members for preventing contaminants from entering the plug and/or jack when mated. The mated combination of the plug and jack assemblies creates a telecommunication connector that seals and isolates the contact interface of a modular plug and a jack from contaminants such as water, dust, and other non-desirable elements and/or substances.

Abstract: A telecommunications connector is provided including a plug assembly having a plug housing, a first mating means, and a first seal member, the plug housing including a plug retaining means for receiving and selectively retaining a plug having a cable attached thereto, and the plug housing further including a latch defeat. The telecommunications connector also includes a jack assembly having a jack housing, a second mating means, and a second seal member wherein the jack housing includes a jack retaining means for receiving and selectively retaining a jack. The first mating means and the second mating means are engageable such that, when engaged, the jack receives the plug, the first sealing member forms a first seal between the plug assembly and the jack assembly, and the second seal forms a second seal between the jack assembly and a connector housing.

Abstract: A wiring connecting system having superior electrical transmission performance with reduced cross talk and improved lacing and termination features is disclosed and includes a base, a wire strip mountable to the base, a connecting block for housing a plurality of electrical contacts and a plurality of cross talk barriers disposed within the connecting block for isolating pairs of the electrical contacts. The wire strip has a plurality of first and second posts alternating along its length. The second posts have a greater width than the first posts. A connecting block for housing a plurality of electrical contacts mounts onto the wire strip. An upper end of the connecting block includes a plurality of first and second teeth alternating along its length with the second teeth have a greater width than the first teeth. The electrical contacts extend from the lower end of the housing to generally align with the openings of the wire strip.

Abstract: An adapter plate for use with a cable distribution enclosure. The cable distribution enclosure includes an adapter plate bracket which receives a plurality of adapter plates. Each adapter plate holds a number of cable adapters. The adapter plates feature a latching mechanism so that the adapter plate, and associated cable adapters, can be easily installed and removed from the adapter plate bracket.

Abstract: A modular furniture panel including a bracket including a plurality of telecommunications connectors. The bracket is positioned within the modular furniture panel and provides an interconnection point for routing telecommunication cable from a telecommunications closet to the work area. The bracket may be fitted with a variety of telecommunication connectors to accommodate different cable types (copper, optical fiber, co-axial, etc.). Panel covers conceal the bracket and cable located in the interior of the panel. Areas on either side of the bracket are used for cable management including storage, routing and/or splicing of cables.

Abstract: The multimedia outlet of the present invention exhibits a combination of form and function. The outlet provides six openings for various telecommunicating connectors that provide for up to 12 ports of mixed media or up to 24 fiber optic ports. Also, provided is a cable management arrangement complying with industry standards specifications. The form of the outlet, having inwardly angled sides allows for "true" gravity feed connections, which are desirable. The outlet also includes multiple cable access/raceway knockout ports and a concealed labeling system.

Abstract: An enclosed channel for routing of telecommunications or power cables. A double hinged raceway is provided that includes an extruded base and cover in which the cover is hingedly and removably connected to both sides of the base to allow easy access to the cables. The extruded base and cover snap together to provide an enclosed channel or cable pathway for routing of telecommunications or power cables. The symmetrical shape of the extruded base and cover allow the cover to be hinged open from either side of the base while providing a stopping point for the hinged cover in the formation of a trough for retaining cables prior to snapping the cover in the closed position.

Abstract: An outside corner fitting including an arcuate channel having a radius of curvature greater than a predetermined minimum bend radius for the cable to be installed in the duct system. A first embodiment of the invention fits within straight ducts and allows the straight ducts to be placed flush with the outside corner of the wall. A second embodiment features an outside corner fitting that abuts against the straight ducts and is mounted directly to the wall. Both embodiments include a cover having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge being shorter than the second edge. The shorter first edge minimizes the gap between the cover and the wall if the wall is not exactly 90 degrees.

Abstract: A rack mountable cable distribution enclosure. The cable distribution enclosure includes a tray that slides forwards and backwards out of the cable distribution enclosure. The tray includes an adapter plate bracket which receives a plurality of adapter plates. The adapter plate bracket holds up to 12 adapter plates, each of which holds a variety of adapters. In fiber optic cable applications, each adapter plate can hold 6 duplex adapters, or 12 fibers, providing a density of 144 fibers.
