Abstract: A jewelry clasp is disclosed and includes a first part including a first magnet, a first groove and a first catch and a second part including a second magnet, a second groove and a second catch. The first and second magnets generate an attractive force holding the first part to the second part, the first catch is received in the second groove and the second catch is received in the first groove. A relief disposed on at least one of the first part and the second part at an interface between the first part and the second part is provided to aid in releasing the first part from the second part.

Abstract: A framing tool supports one end of beam member while the other end of the beam is secured to another beam or structure. The framing tool includes a support portion, a receiving portion and a strap. The strap wraps around a beam member to secure the beam member within the receiving portion. The support portion holds one end of the beam member in place so that an installer may secure the other end of the beam member without the aid of another installer.

Abstract: A clip for securing a cushion to an outdoor furniture item is disclosed. The clip includes a middle portion, a first end portion extending transverse to the middle portion and a second portion that extends transverse from the middle portion. The middle portion is longer than each of the first end portion and the second end portion. The end portions are configured to fit through and overlap portions of a loop in the cushion to hold the cushion to a rail of the furniture item.

The first and second magnets generate an attractive force holding the first part to the second part, the first catch is received in the second groove and the second catch is received in the first groove. A relief disposed on at least one of the first part and the second part at an interface between the first part and the second part is provided to aid in releasing the first part from the second part.

Abstract: A power transfer and monitoring device for an X-ray tube may include: an X-ray filament; a transformer including a primary coil and a secondary coil, wherein the secondary coil of the transformer includes a first leg, a second leg, and a middle leg; a current supply configured to supply a sinusoidal current to the primary coil of the transformer; and a calculation unit configured to measure a primary current of the transformer, configured to determine a synthesized transformer magnetizing current, and configured to subtract the synthesized transformer magnetizing current from the primary current of the transformer to determine a value of filament current through the X-ray filament. The first and second legs of the secondary coil of the transformer alternately supply current to a first end of the X-ray filament. The middle leg of the secondary coil of the transformer supplies current to a second end of the X-ray filament.

Abstract: A disclosed vertical planter box assembly includes perimeter walls defining an interior space for holding plants. The perimeter wall includes openings aligned around the interior space. A water basin is provided at a top side for communicating water into the interior space. A drip tray is supported below a bottom side for capturing draining water from the interior space. A plurality of pins extend through the openings and across the interior space to hold the plant structures in place within the interior space.

Abstract: A power transfer and monitoring system for an X-ray tube includes a transformer including a primary coil and a secondary coil, a current supply that supplies a sinusoidal current to the transformer, and a current calculation unit which measures the primary current of the transformer, and synthesises the transformer magnetising current, and which to subtract the synthesised transformer magnetising current from the primary current to generate a value for the filament current.
