Abstract: Systems and methods for managing an electrical load of a power strip. The systems include a power strip including an electrical connector connected to an AC power supply, outlet sockets electrically coupled to the electrical connector, a conductive path between the electrical connector and the electrical outlet sockets, an indicator, and a current monitoring circuit. The current monitoring circuit is electrically coupled to the conductive path and measures total current flowing in the conductive path, determines whether the total current is within a predetermined amount of current from a current rating of the power strip, and causes the indicator to indicate when the total current is within a predetermined amount of current from the current rating.

Abstract: A device comprising a housing that can be in the form of two plates spaced apart with a gap or open region spaced therebetween. Coupled to this housing is at least one brush comprising a set of bristles such as nylon bristles and at least one arm rotatably coupled to this housing. There can also be at least one additional brush comprising a set of metal bristles which are essentially stiffer than the nylon brushes wherein these bristles are coupled to at least one arm rotatably coupled to the housing. There are at least two hinges for rotatably coupling the at least one arm of the at least one brush and the at least one arm of the at least one additional brush to the housing. There are also at least two stoppers coupled to the housing for stopping a rotation of the brush and the at least one additional brush out of the housing. In addition to assist the user in rotating the brushes out of the housing, each of the arms can include at least one protrusion extending out therefrom.

Abstract: A putter training device has a putting green surrounded by a “hazard” . The putting green slants upwardly from the front edge of the device and is provided with a cup as a target for the golfer. If the ball is successfully putted into the cup, a channel extends from the cup, through the hazard, and to a ball return ramp on one side of the device. If the ball is hit beyond the putting green, the ball falls into the hazard and returns to the player via the ball return ramp.
