  • Publication number: 20120193437
    Abstract: A wireless thermostat adapter system (10) includes a thermostat interface (11) and an HVAC interface (12). A two-way wireless communication is effected between the thermostat interface and the HVAC interface through a conventional RF signal. The thermostat interface also includes an electrical circuit (26) with an antenna (27), a set of six flexible thermostat coupling wires (28) which are coupled to the thermostat, and a short range RF transceiver (29). The HVAC interface includes an electrical circuit 38 which is adapted to be coupled to a HVAC systems (14). The HVAC interface circuit includes an antenna (39) and a set of six HVAC wire terminals (40) which coupled the HVAC interface with the HVAC. The HVAC interface also includes a short range RF transceiver (41) coupled to the antenna (39).

  • Patent number: 8223476
    Abstract: A field rephaseable metering device is provided including at least three distribution buses including two side buses and a center bus, the center bus having a vertical center line. At least one meter socket is provided having a vertical center line offset from the vertical center line of said center bus, each meter socket including a first line terminal and a second line terminal. At least two line straps are provided, each having a first end configured for connecting with one of the first or second line terminals, and a second elongate end configured to be selectively connectable to one of the side buses associated with its line terminal or the center bus. When each line strap is positioned to connect one of the line terminals with one of the distribution buses, a longitudinal axis of each line strap is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of each distribution bus.

  • Patent number: 5398817
    Abstract: A center retainer assembly for a panel mounting system of a vibrating screen utilizes an elongated bolting bar which is encased in a resilient material that includes an elongated center retainer. The bolting bar and its encasing resilient material are situated in a channel portion of an upwardly facing retainer channel. The retainer channel is, in turn, secured by way of a mounting plate to a cross tube of the vibrating screen apparatus.

  • Patent number: 5277319
    Abstract: System for mounting screen and other panels in vibrating and other screening apparatus in which longitudinal channel members interposed between laterally adjoining panels and anchored to apertured longitudinal supports, have spaced normally upright flexible sides each yieldably flexing inwardly in response to pressing of a panel edge thereagainst for seating the edge in an external groove in the channel side, the channel member containing a longitudinally coterminous cavity opening upwardly through a relatively restricted slot, and the panel edge being releasably lockable in the channel groove by a T-shaped lock member having a stem insertible in said cavity through said slot for forcing the flexed side to return to upright edge-locking position.
