  • Patent number: 7909633
    Abstract: A terminal wire block includes a spring clamp and a screw clamp to hold an electrical wire in a fixed position using one or both of the clamps. The spring clamp includes a cage and a spring to push the wire against one of the walls of the cage. The screw clamp includes an externally threaded fastener such as a screw to hold the wire in place when the fastener is tightened. One or both of the spring clamp and the screw clamp may be operated independently of the other one of the spring clamp and the screw clamp. When operated together, the spring clamp and screw clamp provide additional integrity and security to the contact.

  • Publication number: 20040074019
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing and distributing a garment that commemorates a memorable place or tangible object. The method comprises the following steps: (a) converting at least a portion of the place or object to a particulate form, (b) mixing the particulate matter with a dye composition to form a dye mixture, (c) obtaining a quantity of dyeable garments, (d) dyeing at least a portion of each of said garments, using said dye mixture, and (e) distributing the dyed garments to members of the public, each one accompanied by a visually readable imprint that informs the reader that the garment has been colored in a formulation that contained at least a portion of the object and that identifies the nature of the portion that was used. A winning race car, for example, may be commemorated in this manner by mixing paint scraped from the car with a dye solutioln of approximately the same color and using the resultant slurry to dye t-shirts that are then tagged as to origin and distributed in commerce.
