Abstract: A switchable magnetic filter for collecting metallic particles in a fluid flowing through a vessel, comprising a handle for rotatably or slidingly engaging a magnetic assembly within a housing to an ON position to create a magnetic field outside of the housing to collect and retain metallic particles against the outer wall of the housing, and to an OFF position to shunt the magnetic field within the housing to release the metallic particles from the outer wall of the housing so they may be removed from the fluid for cleaning purposes.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, embodiments include receiving a first trouble ticket reporting a first service outage of a communication network and a second trouble ticket reporting a second service outage of the communication network. Further embodiments can include determining a first customer impact according to the first service outage and determining a second customer impact according to the second service outage. The first customer impact is determined by a degradation of quality metrics, a site priority, and a number of complaints due to each service outage. Additional embodiments can include identifying that the second customer impact is higher than the first customer impact. Also, embodiments can include prioritizing a resolution of the second trouble ticket over the first trouble ticket according to the second customer impact being higher than the first customer impact. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A unit suitable for wall mounting contains a supply of disinfectant and a proximity detector that senses an individual's approach. When an approaching individual is detected, the unit issues a visual and/or audible reminder to disinfect. A second proximity detector senses the presence of an individual's hands beneath a disinfectant ejection outlet, and the unit thereupon dispenses a predetermined amount of disinfectant. The invention may display compliance information including a compliance rate based on the ratio of alarms to actual dispensations of disinfectant, and may store historical compliance information for subsequent analysis.

Abstract: A base member having two end portions with v shaped notches formed in the upper surface thereof to receive the leads of discrete components. The notches have trough shaped contacts affixed therein, which contacts have a portion extending to a lower surface of the base member to form a contact pad for soldering to a printed wiring board or the like.
