Patent number: 7460759Abstract: A post mount includes an outer body, an inner body, and a base. The outer body defines at least one aperture through which at least one fiber optic cable can enter the outer body. The inner body is configured to fit inside the outer body in a telescoping arrangement. The inner body is configured to move along a longitudinal axis relative to the outer body. The inner body defines a conduit extending longitudinally through the inner body. The conduit is configured to enable fiber cables to be routed through the conduit. The base is coupled to the inner body and is configured to secure and support a fiber distribution hub.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2006Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Randy Reagan, John Clifton Cobb, III, Tom Leblanc, Jeff Gniadek

Patent number: 5029572Abstract: The present invention provides a body warming device comprising a breathing tube extending to a body fitting member to be worn under a overcoat. The body fitting member receives relatively warm air breathed into the device through the breathing tube and has numerous small exhaust ports for dispersing that warm air from the device where it is effectively trapped and provides a warming effect beneath the overcoat. The device further includes a lower end water trap where moisture condensed out of the breathed air before it leaves the device is collected, with the water trap being removable to then drain the water from the device.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1989Date of Patent: July 9, 1991Inventor: Tom LeBlanc
