Abstract: A modular cable television tap unit includes a base module which receives a cable television signal having an operational power signal component from a cable distribution network. The base unit includes circuitry for separating radio frequency (RF) components and the operational power signal component from the cable television signal. The separated operational power signal is passed through the base module to another cable in the network. The base module includes a set of connectors for receiving a removable directional coupler module and a single connector for receiving a removable addressable signal splitter module. The signal splitter module includes connectors for providing the RF components of the cable television signal to subscribers. The connection for the directional coupler module provides only the RF component of the cable television signal.

Abstract: An alarm apparatus is provided for a freezer having a body and a closure member. The alarm apparatus has an electrical control unit having a power supply input. An alarm device and a temperature sensor are connected to the control unit. The temperature sensor is adapted for mounting in the freezer, for detecting temperatures exceeding a pre-set temperature. A flexible lead is provided for connecting at least two of the control unit, the alarm device and the temperature sensor together. The lead has a cross-section enabling it to extend between the lid and the body of a freezer, while permitting closure thereof. The alarm apparatus can include a second lead connecting the alarm device to the control unit, to enable the alarm device to be placed at a location remote from the freezer.
