Title: Circuit interrupting device with single throw, double mode button for test-reset function
Inventor: GERMAIN FRANTZ
IPC: H01R13/713
Filed: 2004-01-30
Abstract: A typical duplex GFCI receptacle has two buttons, a test button that, when pressed, shuts off power to the receptacle and down stream devices, and a reset button that, when pressed, restores power to the GFCI and down stream devices. Generally, the test button is pressed to verify that the GFCI will interrupt power to the conductive paths and the reset button is pressed to reset the GFCI. In operation, the test portion of the GFCI will automatically break electrical continuity in one or more conductive paths (i.e., open the conductive path) between line and load sides upon the detection of a fault such as a reverse wiring condition, a ground fault, an open neutral and/or a defective GFCI device. When this happens the reset button in the typical GFCI  receptacle is then pressed in an to attempt to restore power. The GFCI here disclosed has only one button (30) which is used for both the test and reset operation. It is pressed to test the GFCI and its associated circuitry for operability and, only if all circuits are operable, upon release it resets the GFCI by closing open conductive paths. If, during operation, the test portion of the GFCI detects a fault and operates to shut off power to the receptacle (21) and down stream devices, the pressing and releasing of the single button will reconnect power to the receptacle (21) and down stream devices only if the GFCI is operational, if an open neutral condition does not exists and/or if the device is not reversed wired.

Patent CA-2530335-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DICK ADAM
IPC: F21V3/00
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: Coherent light, as produced by lasers, is much more intense and bright than non-coherent light. However, unlike non-coherent light sources coherent light from a laser does not radiate away from its source in a spherical fashion, but instead travels in a substantially straight path directly away from the source in a unidirectional beam. Direct exposure to coherent light is potentially dangerous to the human eye and consumer products employing laser-light sources are carefully regulated. Consequently, as a result of the radiation characteristics of coherent light, coherent light sources have not previously been employed for use in a signaling wand or any other direct-lighting apparatus. In contrast to the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provides an apparatus for emitting intense non-coherent light derived from a coherent light source (e.g. laser).
