Abstract: A trapping device for trapping non-dispersing cloths in a toilet bowl is disclosed. The trapping device comprises a strap and a plurality of hooks. The trapping device may be installed in a trapway of the toilet bowl. The strap has a first end, a second end, and a middle portion, wherein the first end includes a first tab extending perpendicular to the strap and the second end includes a second tab extending perpendicular to the strap, and the middle portion is rounded. The plurality of hooks extend from an inner wall of the strap. The strap is made of a strap material that is resilient to bend and springs back to its previous shape, such as a stainless steel or a high density polyethylene.

Abstract: A trapping device for trapping non-dispersing cloths in a toilet bowl is disclosed. The trapping device comprises a strap, a plurality of hooks, and an adjustment buckle. The trapping device may be installed in a trapway of the toilet bowl. The strap has a first end, a second end, and a middle portion, wherein the second end includes a plurality of adjustment holes, and the middle portion is rounded. The plurality of hooks is attached to an inner wall of the strap, wherein the hooks extend at approximately 45-60 degrees away from the strap. The adjustment buckle is attached to the first end of the strap, wherein the second end of the strap slides through the adjustment buckle to adjust the diameter of the strap.

Abstract: An optical transceiver module configured for longwave optical transmission is disclosed. Significantly, the transceiver module utilizes components formerly used only for shortwave optical transmission, thereby reducing new component production and device complexity. In one embodiment, the transceiver module includes a transmitter optical subassembly including a laser capable of producing an optical signal. A consolidated laser driver/post amplifier including a first bias current source provides a bias current to the laser for producing the optical signal. A means for amplifying the bias current provided to the laser by the first bias current source is also included as a separate component from the laser driver/post amplifier. The means for amplifying in one embodiment is a field-effect transistor that is operably connected to the laser driver/post amplifier and configured to provide an additional bias current to the laser diode such that sufficient lasing operation of the laser is realized.

Abstract: A signal detect circuit includes a signal strength measuring differential output linear amplifier. A positive peak detection circuit is coupled to the positive output terminal of the linear amplifier and generates a signal that represents a peak magnitude of a signal received from the positive output terminal. Likewise, a negative peak detection circuit is coupled to the negative output terminal of the linear amplifier and generates a signal that represents a peak magnitude of a signal received from the negative output terminal. Upon power up of the signal detect circuit, a comparison circuit detects when the positive and negative peak signal magnitudes has both exceed respective values at least once. Once this occurs, the comparison circuit compares an interpolation of the positive peak signal and the negative peak signal with the value. If the interpolated signal falls below the value, the comparison circuit generates a signal representing that no signal is being received.
