Car seat reminder system providing a connection between the parent or child caregiver driver of an automobile and the infant or child in a car seat positioned on a seat behind the driver's seat in the automobile. The connection is provided by a connector, such as a string, cord, rope, cable, chain, thread, ribbon, or lacing material, having two ends, with one end connected to the car seat, and the other end connected to the key or other mechanism for starting or otherwise turning on the vehicle. The connector should be sufficiently long to reach between the car seat when it is in place on a seat behind the driver's seat, and the automobile ignition point where the vehicle is turned on or the ignition is activated.

Apparatus for allowing ventilation as usual for underground tunnels through a ventilation shaft opening to atmosphere yet preventing underground flooding from surface waters pouring through the grate, comprises an assembly that fits within the ventilation shaft and includes one or more panels held in an upright home position that allows ventilation as usual but is releasable to rotationally gravitate to a lower sealing position closing a passage between the ventilation shaft and atmosphere to prevent water from entering the underground tunnels. A panel position indicator moves from a hidden position to a visible position with lowering of the panels to visually signify that the panels are lowered and that flooding protection is activated.

A bend stiffener including a body tapering from a base to a top. The body has a central through-opening, extending from the base to the top, which is arranged to receive a subsea cable or umbilical, and a first bend indicator arranged on the body. The first bend indicator has a proximal portion having a fixed end which is fixed relative to the body and a distal portion which has a free end. The first bend indicator extending from the fixed end to the free end in the axial direction of the body. The distal portion covers a bend indication portion of the bend stiffener, which bend indication portion has a first visual appearance, and which distal portion has a second visual appearance. The first visual appearance differs from a visual appearance of an area of the bend stiffener surrounding the bend indication portion.

An electrical power distribution system includes an electrical connector, an electrical conductor and a temperature monitoring system. The electrical conductor is secured to the electrical connector to form an electrical connection. The temperature monitoring system includes a temperature monitoring device. The temperature monitoring device includes a temperature sensor coupled to the connector to detect a temperature of the connection.
