  • Publication number: 20250135607
    Abstract: A wire supporting clamp is provided and includes a base member, a support spine, a first cable saddle, and a first compression leg. The base member has a proximal end and a distal end. The support spine is arranged on the proximal end of the base member and extends from the base member. The first cable saddle is positioned on the base member. The first compression leg is deformably connected to the support spine and spaced apart from the first cable saddle. The base member includes a first aperture arranged therein, and the first compression leg includes a second aperture arranged therein. The first and second aperture are aligned such that the first and second aperture are configured to have a securing member pass therethrough, where the securing member is configured to apply pressure to the first compression leg to deform the first compression leg into a compressed position.

  • Publication number: 20250060051
    Abstract: An aluminum wire positioning device system for solar panel cabling and harness string cabling is provided that includes a support structure, a cable, and a wire positioning device. The wire positioning device includes a center leg, an attachment support leg, an attachment member configured to couple the wire positioning device to the solar panel frame or solar panel support structure at an attachment point, a saddle support leg, and a cable support saddle configured to support the at least one cable. The attachment member is arranged at an angle relative to the cable support saddle about the center leg, and a center-of-gravity of the wire positioning device is aligned with the attachment point, the center leg, and the saddle support leg.

  • Patent number: 10992274
    Abstract: This application relates to methods and apparatus for audio signal processing, for example by a codec. An audio signal processing module has at least one input for receiving first and second input signals and an output path for outputting an output audio signal. The first and second input signals may be supplied by a first audio component and may correspond to the same source audio data. A controller is configured to compare the first and second input signals and to select one of the first or second input signals as the basis for a signal to be supplied to said output path based on the comparison. The controller may determine a measure of similarity in content between the first and second input signals.
