Abstract: An electrical box suitable for safely and efficiently housing an electrical connection. The electrical box includes a bottom and a plurality of adjacent side walls, each side wall being at least partially joined to the bottom and to each adjacent side wall to form an open box. Each side wall has a top edge wherein the top edges define an open box perimeter. At least one side wall has at least one notch, the notch comprising deformable plastic members that can be biased in an open position to define a conductor opening to receive at least one of the electrical conductors. A top can be hingedly joined to one the top edges of one side wall and can be adapted to be moveable from an open position to a closed position. The conductor opening is at least partially defined by the top when the top is in the closed position, and the flexible flanges contact the conductors when the top is in the closed position.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system for monetizing internet content. The system can include a website providing a viewable online section for displaying user-generated content on a client system which is at least one of a computer, a laptop, and a mobile device. The online section can be capable of having posted thereto the user-generated content in a default format or a visibly distinctive format. Computer executable instructions can perform steps including: displaying to a reader who has entered the user-generated content an offer via an on screen prompt to pay a fee in exchange for the reader's entered user-generated content to be posted in the visibly distinctive format; receiving, in response to the on screen prompt, an acceptance of the offer from the reader; and promoting the reader's entered user-generated content by displaying it in the visibly distinctive format relative to the default format in the online section.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system for monetizing user-generated content on websites, including on mobile devices. In an embodiment, the system includes a website providing content including a viewable online section for containing user-generated content. The online section can be capable of having posted thereto user-generated content in a free default format or a distinctive format. Computer executable instructions can perform steps including prompting a reader of the content with an on screen prompt to pay a fee in exchange for the reader's user-generated content to be posted in the distinctive format; receiving, in response to the on screen prompt, a fee from a reader; and displaying the reader's user-generated content in the distinctive format relative to the default format in the online section. The system includes a processor for executing the computer executable instructions and a memory for storing at least the computer executable instructions.

Abstract: A stabilizing device. The device can have a generally planar, polygonal shape defined by edges forming a perimeter. The device has a vertical axis and a horizontal axis. The device further includes at least one ground-contact edge generally parallel to the horizontal axis, the ground-contacting edge being in contact with the ground when the device is in use, and at least three edges defining an open-ended slot, the slot being oriented generally parallel to the horizontal axis.

Abstract: A portable electronic device. The portable electronic device is dependently operable on being remotely coupled to at least one RFID tag, the RFID tag being disposed on one of a piece of jewelry or a portion of clothing worn on a person. Upon removal of the jewelry or clothing the RFID tag is rendered inoperable and the electronic device is partially or completely disabled.

Abstract: A method and system for generating revenue on the internet by an internet content provider. The method can include the steps of publishing content on a web page accessible via a web browser; providing on the web page a first area for at least one user-generated default-format comment; providing on the web page a second area for an advertisement; providing on the web page a third area for at least one fee-paid comment; displaying on the web page in the first area at least one of the user-generated default-format comment; displaying on the web page in the second area at least one advertisement; and displaying on the web page in the third area at least one fee-paid comment. Readers of the content can read the default-format comment, the advertisement, and the fee-paid comment on the same web page.

Abstract: A computerized system for making money on the internet is disclosed. The system includes system memory and executable instructions for displaying on a client system a comment section for posting user-generated content, the comment section capable of having posted thereto a default-format user-generated content and a fee-paid distinctive user-generated content. A payment method is disclosed. The method utilizes a computer device memory and executable instructions of a third party server. The method includes the steps of, identifying by use of the third party server a client device registered to a first party payer, and facilitating by the third party a payment of money from the payer's payment account to a registered second party payee's receiving account. A system for facilitating payments is disclosed. The system includes a third party server, the third party server utilizing computer executable instructions to receive information from a registered first party payer's client device.

Abstract: Methods for producing easily and securely gripped slip-resistant file folders, including file pockets and hanging folders. The methods include providing folder paper stock; conveying the folder paper stock in the process of folder manufacture; providing a curable slip-resistant material in a melt state; applying the slip-resistant material at predetermined areas of the folder paper stock; and curing the slip-resistant material; such that the slip-resistant portion comprises cured slip-resistant material. Another method includes providing folder paper stock; providing embossing dies in spaced, operable, mating relationship; positioning the folder paper stock appropriately in the embossing dies; applying force to at least one of the embossing dies so as to decrease the spaced relationship; and deforming the folder paper stock.

Abstract: A process for obtaining a twisted pair electrical signal cable having conductors of equal physical length and equal signal transmitting properties by passing a parallel pair of adhered insulated conductors of equal length through a closely-fitting die and twisting the conductors into a twisted pair cable. The process applies to thermopolymer insulated and ePTFE insulated conductors.

Abstract: An aesthetically pleasing folding utility rack suitable for carrying elongated or oversized objects in the extended position comprises a horizontal rail or plate, a forward transverse rack member fixed to the horizontal rail, a moveable rear transverse rack member and a pivotal connection means which connects the rear transverse rack member to the horizontal rail and allows the rear transverse rack member to be moved quickly and easily from an open extended position to a closed position. In the closed position the rack has the general appearance of a roll bar.

Abstract: A low profile cable housing a multiplicity of electrical, mechanical, or optical fiber components or a mixture thereof which has component breakouts within the length of the cable at any point or points between the ends of the cable which do not add to the profile or mass of the cable and processes for its manufacture and for sizing a cable to constant cross-section.

Abstract: An isolated core cable for isolating a crush-sensitive core contained therein against a harsh environment, such as a fiber optic cable, a coaxial electric cable, a hydraulic line, or a pneumatic gas line, the cores therein being supported by a helically slit hard polymer tube inside a preferably braided fiber strength member. A resilient material may be wrapped around the cores inside the slit tube to further protect the cores from elongation and bending stresses.

Abstract: A composite dielectric coaxial cable which is easily hand-strippable for termination without disturbing its drain wire or unravelling the metallized tape comprising its shielding layer.

Abstract: A non-metal controlled high resistance electric cable formed by wrapping a center strength member of insulating microporous polytetrafluoroethylene with a narrow strip of conductive carbon-filled microporous polytetrafluoroethylene and jacketing the wrapped strand with an insulating microporous polytetrafluorethylene or polyester jacket. The microporous polytetrafluorethylene layers are preferably sintered and the optional polyester layer is preferably fused.
