  • Publication number: 20170365436
    Abstract: A fuse holder for holding a fuse is provided that includes a body, a line side connector supported by the body, and a load side connector supported by the body. The fuse holder also includes a toggle switch supported by the body and capable of toggled engagement in a first position that provides electrical connection. The switch is also capable of toggled engagement in a second position that provides electrical isolation between the line side connector and the load side connector. The fuse holder also includes a fuse carrier. The fuse carrier is supported by the body and adapted for holding the fuse and the fuse carrier is adapted to be removed from the fuse holder. The fuse holder includes a blocking device blocking the toggled engagement of the switch from the second position to the first position when the fuse carrier is not within the fuse holder.

  • Publication number: 20090218273
    Abstract: A method for managing fluids spilled from a filter. The Filter Fluid Capture Device slides onto a filter creating a fluid-tight seal that prevents fluids from leaking to the bottom of the filter. A reservoir created between the walls of the Filter Fluid Capture Device and the filter capture and hold any fluid that are spilled from the filter during removal or installation of the filter.

  • Patent number: 5925108
    Abstract: A system and method separate the order in which event handlers register from the order in which the event handlers are notified of events. This allows any convenient registration order to be used together with a notification order that corresponds to a network architecture, a memory hierarchy, or another familiar scale. The notification order is determined by the event producers, and therefore may be reversed without re-registering the event handlers. Events may be broadcast, may carry data between event handlers, and may be consumed to prevent further notifications.
