Detecting impact and heat events on products and generating a diagnosis
For generating a diagnosis, a method irradiates a product surface of a product with infrared light, the product surface including a stress sensitive pigment. The method detects an activation of the stress sensitive pigment as a color change at an infrared visible activation location. The method generates a diagnosis based on the activation.
HYBRID MODULAR ENCLOSURE FOR MULTIPLE MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND ACCESSORIES WITH VARIABLE OPACITY, CUSTOMIZABLE SURFACES, EXTENSIBLE FEATURES, PARTIAL ACCESS CAPABILITIES, AND HYGIENIC CLEANABILITY
A hybrid modular enclosure for mobile electronic devices reduces distractions while allowing partial access. The enclosure features a durable molded plastic frame with fabric panels, extended fabric extensions attached via glue or sewing for temporarily holding a tag-and-pin retainer to prevent content removal, and surfaces optimized for stickers and engraving such as school logos. Variable opacity (clear, semi-opaque, or opaque) is integrated into molded enclosure parts for customizable visibility. Modular points allow add-on components like added-function tags. Holes enable charging or limited interactions. The chamber holds multiple devices, smartwatches, earbuds, or wrapped phones. Molded plastic is non-porous for easy cleaning with solutions/wipes, addressing hygiene in shared use post-COVID and for future pathogens.
Electrical Box Protection Device
An electrical box protection device is provided. The device is designed to safeguard nonmetallic sheathed cables and associated electrical boxes from mechanical damage incurred during or after building construction. The device comprises a body formed by a first member and a second member that intersect at an angle, preferably ninety degrees, to create a rigid barrier. The body comprises predrilled holes in symmetric or asymmetric patterns for secure attachment to various framing materials using standard mechanical fasteners. Optional features include a grounding component configured with a grounding lug, tab, or conductive strap and a designated area for ground wire attachment. Additional configurations may comprise a cable guide groove to direct the cable into the electrical box with minimal strain and visual indicators such as compliance markings and orientation symbols to support proper installation.
