Abstract: A configurable and modular probe device for electrical connections. The probe device has multiple blocks capable of inter-fitting into various layouts. Each block has four sidewalls. Two adjacent sidewalls have a protrusion and the respective opposite sidewalls have a cavity corresponding to the protrusion. The protrusion of one block can removably mate with the cavity of a neighboring block. Each block further has a central cavity extending from a top surface to a bottom surface of the block. A probe snugly fits into the central cavity.

Abstract: A connector includes a receptacle having a body defining apertures and having a mating face and socket contacts each defining an opening aligned with an aperture. The connector also includes a plug having an outer casing defining a cavity and having a mating end and contacts positioned within the cavity and coupled to the outer casing, each having a pin tip. The plug also includes a pin protection plate slidably coupled to the outer casing, enclosing at least a portion of each contact within the cavity, and defining pin guides each aligned with one of the contacts. When the mating end is aligned with the mating face and force is applied to the outer casing towards the body, the pin protection plate slides into the cavity and the pin tip of the contacts extends beyond the pin protection plate into a socket contact via one of the apertures.

Abstract: A device for holding a miniature high intensity flashlight along the side of the person's head to direct the beam of light in a path vertically positioned at the line of sight of the individual wearing the device. The device includes an elastic strap with overlapping ends held together with VELCRO.RTM. attachments with a tubular strap through which the body of the flashlight is inserted and held in position on the strap. The rear end of the flashlight is held with VELCRO.RTM. attachment or a corrugated spring clip against an inclined bearing surface block holding the end of the flashlight away from the person's head and allowing the rear end of the flashlight to be fixed to the bearing surface of that block at any height.
