     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     Embodiments of the present invention are generally related to electric circuit components and, more particularly, to modules that interconnect electrical components such as outlets, switches, receptacles, and other devices for selectively providing or controlling electricity to a power source. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Electrical system installation is a one time consuming and expensive task performed during building construction and renovation. The process starts with attaching junction boxes on exposed wall studs at pre-determined locations throughout the building. The junction boxes will eventually house electrical components such as outlets and switches. Next, the electrician routes wire cable from a circuit breaker box to the junction boxes and, if required, wires individual junction boxes together. As one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate, the wire cable is often comprised of a hot wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. After the wire cables are associated with their respective junction boxes, drywall is attached to the exposed studs, wherein openings are formed in the drywall to allow access to the junction boxes. Next, electrical components are placed in the junction boxes and interconnected to the wires of the wire cable. Finally, cover plates are manually installed over the electrical components. 
     Several inherent problems are associated with the conventional electrical system installation method. First, this method of electrical system insulation is time-consuming and often expensive because of the number of connections that must be made and made correctly. Even if the electrical component is installed correctly, the interconnected wires may separate from the electrical component when placed in the junction box. That is, the space between the rear or side surfaces of the electrical component, i.e., the location of wire interconnection, and the walls of the junction box is minimal. The wires must fit within the space, which is often very difficult, and wires often become loose or detached from the electrical component when installed within the junction box. 
     The standard method of electrical system installation can result in unfit and unsafe connections. More specifically, wires are often interconnected to the electrical component using conductive screws on the electrical component. Connecting wires with wire screws may leave conductive wire material exposed. This condition may go unnoticed during initial electrical system testing, but may become more pronounced over time. As wires inside junction boxes are in close proximity to each other, a short-circuit or fire may result. 
     In addition, junction boxes typically contain a plurality of wires, the number of which increases with circuit complexity, as in 3-way or 4-way switched circuits. As a number of wires increases, the possibility that the electrician might incorrectly interconnect wires increases. Unfortunately, if the components are incorrectly wired, the electrician must spend costly time re-wiring. Further, complex circuitry may not fit inside a conventional junction box because the numbers of wires and wire screws involved. 
     Electrical installation is also prone to other errors. For example, if the junction box is not properly positioned on the wall stud (i.e., positioned too far forward or back), the front of the electrical component may not be flush with the drywall. This error is very difficult to correct because at the point when the electrical component is installed, the drywall has already been installed. To access the junction box for re-positioning on the stud, a section of drywall may have to be removed and repaired. 
     Homeowners or remodelers also experience problems with repair or replacement of standard electrical wiring. Replacing broken outlets or switches first requires removal of the electrical component, which requires removal of wires interconnected thereto. This process is then reversed to attach the wires to a new electrical component that will be attached to the junction box. This procedure exposes the homeowner to AC wiring and, thus, a shock hazard. Further, a homeowner&#39;s reluctance to change broken devices or to spend the money to hire an electrician also creates a shock and fire hazard from continued use of cracked, broken, or excessively worn outlets or switches. In addition, the integrity of original wiring becomes questionable if a homeowner or third-party replaces an electrical device. A mis-wiring, such as inadvertently switching the hot and neutral conductors, failing to attach ground wires, kinking or nicking conductors, or improperly tightening connections, can violate building codes and create shock and fire hazards. 
     Thus it is a long felt need to provide an electrical system that facilitates installation and interconnection of electrical devices, such as outlets and switches to a power supply. The contemplated system of one embodiment of the present invention employs modules interconnected to the power supply. The modules received the electrical components in a safe and effective manner. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     It is one aspect of some embodiments of the present invention to provide a system for delivering electricity to an outlet. More specifically, one embodiment of the present invention employs a module interconnected to an electrical wire cable. The wire cable generally includes a hot wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. The module also includes mechanisms, such as lugs or wire screws, that receive and secure the hot wire, the neutral wire, and the ground wire. The module is received within a junction box. The junction box may be interconnected to a structural member of the building. In some embodiments, the module includes a clip, or other mechanism, for selective interconnection to a customized junction box. In other embodiments, the module is connected to the junction box by way of a screw or other fastener. As will be appreciated, embodiments of the present invention improve the ease and speed of electrical component installation. The modules and associated hardware described herein can be used during building construction and electrical component replacement. 
     The module facilitates outlet installation by providing a plurality of receptacles that receive prongs associated with the outlet. Although the term “outlet” is used primarily herein, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that a switch, light, or other electrical device, for example, may be associated with the module described herein without departing from the scope of the invention. The receptacles of one embodiment of the present invention are generally cylindrical and receive corresponding cylindrically shaped prongs associated with the electrical component. Still other embodiments of the present invention employ slots that receive prongs of a shape found on, or similar to, those of common electrical plugs. The prongs and their respective receptacles may be of different sizes or configurations. For example, a prong associated with the hot wire may be of a greater diameter than that of the neutral wire. Or, the hot wire prong may be flat and the neutral wire prong may be cylindrical. This functionality helps prevent incorrect interconnection of the electrical component to the module. In some embodiments of the present invention, the module employs prongs received within outlet receptacles. In yet other versions, prongs and receptacles are not used and electricity-conducting plates are used to connect the module to the electrical component. 
     The outlet of one embodiment of the present invention includes a traditional outlet face adapted to receive a 2 or 3 prong plug. Those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate the outlet may be associated with a light switch, a dimmer switch, a fan control, a USB port, or a low-voltage control (e.g., speaker control, thermostat control, alarm control, etc.). The rear side of the electrical component includes a plurality of prongs, or other electrical connection means that interface with corresponding electrical connectors on the module. As mentioned above, in one embodiment of the present invention, the electrical connectors of the outlet are prongs that selectively interface with corresponding receptacles of the module. 
     It is another aspect of embodiments of the present invention to provide a module installed internally relative to the junction box, wherein associated electrical components are selectively installed into the module without exposure to or access to the electrical system wiring attached to the module. The majority of the electricians work can thus be completed at the rough construction phase when wire cable installation is complete. Thus there may be no need for the electrician to return to the job site during final construction phase, because any semi-skilled labor can interconnect an appropriate outlet or switch to the module. It follows that there is no wire access after the rough phase, which protects circuit integrity. Finally, the use of a module means no exposed conductors or parts inside the junction box that can be inadvertently damaged during electrical component installation. 
     The contemplated system also benefits the general contractor. Because wiring is completed during rough construction phase, verification and activation can be performed earlier. If an electrical system issue arises, it can be corrected before drywall is installed and walls painted, eliminating cut and patch repairs. This aspect is further realized by modules that employ an indicator, e.g., a light or sound emitting device, or a wireless signal, that tells the contractor that the wire cable has been correctly interconnected to the module. That is, to help ensure that the module has been connected correctly, some modules of the present invention employ a light or other indicator. For example, an LED light may be used to notify the electrician or homeowner that all wires have been correctly interconnected to the module. The LED light may turn off after a predetermined amount of time. Early electrical system activation eliminates the need to use generators. Lack of access to the electrician&#39;s wiring preserves the integrity after verification and eliminates shock exposure to other workers. 
     It is yet another aspect of embodiments of the present invention to provide an electrical system that benefits a homeowner, as broken outlets and switches can be easily and safely repaired. Safety is enhanced by reducing exposure to wiring and encouraging replacement of defective outlets and switches. Further, costs are reduced by reducing the need to hire an electrician for repairs. Wiring integrity is insured by reducing the opportunity of unqualified homeowners and third parties to access the electrical system. Cost and annoyances are reduced by forgoing the permitting process as well. 
     The contemplated module is scalable. More specifically, the module provides an interface between a power supply and an outlet or switch. Therefore, the module may be increased in size to accommodate its end use. The module may be sized to receive an outlet and a switch, or multiple outlets and switches. Thus, some modules may include, or be interconnected to, connectors that allow for multiple modules to be interconnected in series. This aspect is desirable as an electrician will only need to stock modules of one size, wherein modules can be added together as needed to accommodate the type and size of desired electrical component. 
     Embodiments of the present invention facilitate interconnection of the outlet to the module by including indicia that shows the installer where each wire of the wire cable is to be connected. For example, the indicia may include a color code that corresponds with insulation colors commonly found on the wires of the wire cables—black, white, red, green (or bare, i.e., copper). The wire connection indicia will reduce errors and, thus, accuracy of electrical system installation and replacement will be increased dramatically for the experienced electrician and the do-it-yourselfer. In the operation of one embodiment, wires are inserted into terminals on the module marked by numbers 1, 2, and 3. Each wire then secured by tightening is a set screw associated with the terminal. Again, the wire terminal may be the wire lug, stab connector, pig tail wires, wire nuts, butt connectors, weld tab, adhesive tab, or any other wire connection method known in the art. Further, the wires can be interconnected on a side lateral surface of the module. The modules may include a front face with indicia that corresponds with the nature of outlet prongs—hot, neutral, or ground. This feature helps prevent the outlet from being interconnected upside-down. 
     It is yet another aspect of some embodiments of the present invention to facilitate junction box installation by providing an easy to install mounting plate. The contemplated mounting plate supports a junction box and includes a portion that interconnects to an interior wall member, such as drywall. In some embodiments of the present invention, this portion includes a finger that engages the outer surface of the drywall (i.e., the surface that will be textured and painted.) The finger spaces a portion of the mounting plate that will support the junction box from the outer surface. That is, the finger helps position the mounting plate on the stud at the ideal location. Thereafter, the mounting plate is fastened to the stud with a plurality of screws. The junction box is then interconnected to the mounting plate, which locates the junction box in an ideal location relative to the outer surface of the drywall or outer wall finish surface. In one embodiment, the mounting plate is received within a channel provided in the outside of the junction box. The junction box of one embodiment is not secured to the mounting plate and is, thus, able to slide relative to the wall stud. 
     The modules or electrical components of some embodiments include wireless communication devices, e.g., Wi-Fi or Bluetooth® communication devices. The communication devices can be used to notify a similarly enabled device, e.g., a smart phone or tablet, that the connection of a particular module or group of modules is correct. In addition, a mobile device could be used to selectively control power flow coming from a module or control a switch interconnected to the module. For example, lamps and light switches may be remotely controlled via the module/outlet. This functionality may allow individuals to program light/outlet function with their smart phone. Also, a smart phone, or other communication device, may be used to selectively turn on and turn off lights when an individual enters and exits a room, which will save power. Such functionality can also be used to help pinpoint an individual&#39;s location in a home or other building so long as the individual possesses a communication device, which would be desirable to policemen, firemen, and EMTs. 
     The present invention is made of materials commonly used in the electrical arts. Further, the module and outlet may be shaped as shown in the figures provided herein, or made of any desired shape, so long as the wires, connectors, receptacles, and prongs contemplated and described herein can be accommodated.

     As shown in  FIGS. 23 and 24 , after the mounting plate  42  is firmly secured to the wall stud  200 , the junction box  6  is slid onto the anchor  180 . That is, the junction box  6  includes a cavity  204  or slot that receives the anchor  180 . The anchor  180  may include an angled outer profile that engages a corresponding cavity profile to prevent removal laterally relative to the wall stud  200 . 
     Next, the module is interconnected to the junction box wherein the clip  112  is engaged onto a slot  208  of the junction box. Finally, the electrical component  14  is interconnected to the module by a simple plug-in connection. The electrical component  14 , as shown in  25 , is then screwed onto nut plates or threaded portions provided in the junction box  6 . 
       FIGS. 26-29  show another embodiment of the present invention, and illustrate the increased functionality of embodiments the present invention. More specifically,  FIG. 26  shows how a connector  220  may be used to join modules  10 . The connector  220  has a plurality of male conductive portions  224  received within side receptacles  114  of adjoining modules. In this fashion, power is delivered to one module and transferred through the side receptacles to another module. Thus wiring two outlets, for example, is extremely easy. That is, the longer junction box  6  only requires one wire cable, the power therefrom being used to activate additional modules. The remaining method of interconnecting this junction box to the building structure is the same as described above.
