20110030190 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING FINAL DROP IN A LIVING UNIT IN A BUILDING - A system and method for providing a final drop in a living unit in a building. The system comprises a point-of-entry unit, such as a low profile base unit, disposed within the living unit at a location corresponding to an access position of horizontal cabling disposed in a hallway of the building that provides a first anchor point. The system also includes an adhesive-backed duct, having one or more communication lines disposed therein, mountable to a wall within the living unit. The system also includes a second anchor point, such as a wall receptacle, disposed within the living unit to receive a first communication line via the duct. The components of the system are also designed with very low impact profiles for better aesthetics within the living unit. | 02-10-2011 |
20110030832 | ADHESIVE BACKED DUCTS FOR CABLING APPLICATIONS - A duct for distributing one or more communication lines comprises an elongated body having a length and a conduit portion with a lengthwise bore formed therein, the conduit portion containing one or more communication lines. The duct also includes a flange extending lengthwise adjacent the elongated body to mount the duct to a mounting surface. The duct also includes an adhesive layer disposed on a bottom surface of the flange. The duct may further include a strength member extending lengthwise with the flange. The strength member may be disposed between the bottom surface and the adhesive layer or within the conduit. The duct may include an open slot in the top to allow for insertion and removal of the communication line. The duct may also be configured such that the conduit portion is attached to the flange structure via a thin web of material having a thickness such that upon modest application of a peeling force, a segment of the conduit portion is detachable from the flange structure. | 02-10-2011 |
20110236651 | METHODS OF FORMING SHEETING WITH A COMPOSITE IMAGE THAT FLOATS AND SHEETING WITH A COMPOSITE IMAGE THAT FLOATS - Microlens sheetings with composite images are disclosed, in which the composite image floats above or below the sheeting, or both. The composite image may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Methods for providing such an imaged sheeting are also disclosed. | 09-29-2011 |
20120090876 | ENCLOSURE FOR A CABLE CONNECTION - The present invention is directed to an enclosure for protecting a cable connection. The enclosure includes a sealing member contained within an inner shell. The sealing member is secured around the cable connection by slideably engaging a rigid outer shell over the inner shell. The inner shell has an external topography defining an inner shell profile and wherein the outer shell has an internal topography defining an outer shell profile such that the outer shell profile is similar to the inner shell profile. | 04-19-2012 |
20120261156 | PROTECTION DEVICE FOR A CABLE CONNECTION - The present invention is directed to a low profile protection device for protecting a cable connection. The protection device includes an elastomeric base layer, a gel sealant material coated on the elastomeric base layer; and a closure mechanism disposed along the protection device such that the protection device exerts a compressive force around the cable connection when disposed in its assembled state. The elastomeric base layer has a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, wherein the first and second longitudinal edges are substantially parallel in an assembled state and wherein a portion of the first longitudinal edge is obliquely oriented to a portion of the second longitudinal edge in an unassembled state. | 10-18-2012 |
