Abstract: A system and method used to detect voltage by an electric field detector on equipment is provided. The equipment includes a component which is configured to come into direct contact with, or come into proximity of, a conductor of electricity, and a control system which is in operative communication with the component. An electric field detector is provided on the equipment. The detector includes field detection circuitry configured to detect a voltage in an electric field in the environment which meets or exceeds a voltage threshold.

Abstract: A timer in which primary (household or solar or wind) electrical power is used as a source to direct the primary power to an electrically powered device, such as an appliance or light. Electrical energy for the timer can be provided by the household current (or solar/wind power), optionally suitably transformed or inverted to provide acceptable voltage of either AC or DC to operate a motor or CPU. In case of interruption of the source of the primary electrical power, rechargeable battery(s) housed within the case of the timer will operate the timer until the primary source of electrical power is restored. The case can also accommodate additional rechargeable battery(s) in a charging station, which additional rechargeable battery(s) are not required to power the tinier in the event of loss of primary power.

Abstract: A mechanism for providing monitoring of electric field detectors. In accordance with instructions on a machine-readable medium, a computing system receives from a device data corresponding to a user identifier. Further, the computing device identifies from a plurality of electric field detectors one or more electric field detectors associated with the user identifier and identifies status data for each of the identified one or more electric field detectors. The status data for each electric field detector in the plurality of electric field detectors comprises data indicative of at least (i) a location of the electric field detector and (ii) an alarm state of the electric field detector. Additionally, the computing system causes a display component of the device to display a graphical user interface that presents indicia of the status data for each of the identified one or more electric field detectors.

Abstract: An ammeter is provided with a plurality of individual wound coils interconnected in a generally U-shaped array to measure the magnitude of current in a conductor extending through a sensing region inside the U-shape. Additional pairs of position-sensing coils determine the position of the conductor relative to the sensing region and provide outputs to circuitry which permits the magnitude measurement to be displayed only if the conductor extends through the sensing region.

Abstract: A voltmeter/phaser includes dual hot-stick probes, each carrying a housing including a digital display, one of the housings also having a measurement circuit for measuring the sensed voltage. A plural-conductor cable interconnects the housings and carries, in two separate conductors, current between the probes and display data between the display circuits, so that identical voltage values are always displayed on the two displays.

Abstract: A digital voltage indicator includes a probe having a first electrode including a hollow portion and a probe tip projecting from the hollow portion, a second electrode extending into the hollow portion and spaced therefrom, and dielectric material disposed between the second electrode and the hollow portion. The indicator may include a reference conductor connected to the second electrode and detection circuitry connected between the probe and the reference conductor for detecting a voltage difference therebetween, and an annunciator connected to the detection circuitry for displaying the measured voltage.

Abstract: A combination of compositions, products and methods of producing a new type of cement. The cementitious material is created by adding sodium carbonate (also known as soda ash, trona, natron, sodium carbonate decahydrate, sodium carbonate anhydrous, etc.) and one or more rocks or minerals selected from the following—granite, basalt, sandstone or schist. A new method and product are claimed by combining sodium carbonate and one or more rocks or minerals selected from the following—granite, basalt, sandstone or schist and water. The combination of sodium carbonate and one or more rocks or minerals selected from the granite, basalt, sandstone or schist group can be either layered or mixed in a dry or wet state. An exothermic reaction starts after the addition of water to the cementitious material.

Abstract: A wearable electric field detector has a housing mountable on a user's person and including a sensing circuit responsive to an electric field to generate a signal which varies in proportion to the strength of the sensed field, and an alarm circuit coupled to the sensing circuit for producing an intermittent audible alarm signal, which has a repetition rate varying in proportion to the strength of the field, and a visible alarm signal. A mute circuit is manually activatable for selectively muting the audible alarm and then automatically reenabling it after a predetermined time period. The detector includes a manually-actuatable test circuit. There is no on-off switch, the detector being disabled by being disposed in a shielded carrying case.

Abstract: A method of producing a new type of cement, hereafter called Conch-krete. Conch-krete is created by adding sodium carbonate (also known as soda ash, natron, etc.) and one or more minerals from the calcium carbonate group (including aragonite, limestone, calcite, marble, dolomite, etc.) and the addition of water to the mix that will harden into a cement-like material. The combination of sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate can be either layered or in a mixed state. An exothermic reaction starts after the addition of water. The composition of Conch-krete can vary between 20% sodium carbonate and 80% calcium carbonate to 80% sodium carbonate and 20% calcium carbonate. Conch-Icrete can be used in a variety of applications not inclusive of forming bricks, interior architecture, table or counter tops, ornaments, repairing damaged cement products, casting and other applications not mentioned above.
