  • Publication number: 20120138358
    Abstract: An electrical fixture system includes an electrical fixture assembly and a piercing tool. The electrical fixture assembly includes an outlet junction member for mounting in a wall or a ceiling or a floor, and an electrical fitting. The outlet junction member and the electrical fitting are each provided with at least one mutually compatible electrical connector element. The outlet junction member has a mechanism for connection of the at least one outlet junction member electrical connector element to mains electricity. The piercing tool is removably connectable to the electrical fixture assembly, and the tool is shaped such that it penetrates a wall board pressed against the tool to create an opening in the wall board. The at least one outlet junction member electrical connector element is substantially aligned with the opening in the wall board.

  • Patent number: 6469967
    Abstract: Methods and computer readable media with program instructions for dynamically determining write speeds of an optical media device are provided. In one example, a method includes setting a device set write speed to a maximum write speed of the optical media device, and then verifying that the device set write speed is as just set. If the optical media device is verified to be as just set, a current set write speed is saved. The device set write speed is then decreased by an increment and the device set. The device set write speed is again verified to be as just set, and saved if verified. The method continues to decrease the device set write speed by an increment, set, verify, and save until the device set write speed is set to zero. Only verified set write speeds are presented as options for user interaction for the optical media device.
