The present invention disclosed relates to a flexible electrical outlet strip that is comprised of a series of electric receptacles joined by independent ball and socket modules. Each ball and socket module is electrically interconnected with the power source and capable of rotating 360 degrees while maintaining electrical continuity. Each ball and socket connection also provides up to 60 degrees of pivotal movement at each socket joint. A fixed single-axis pivotal hinge joins receptacles 1, 2, 3 to 4, 5, 6 increasing mobility and possible outlet configurations. Combined, these characteristics will enable each electric receptacle to be positioned in a unique configuration to accommodate bulky and odd-shaped plugs and power adapters, conform into flexible shapes and designs for space constrained areas, hang or wrap around objects, and assist with cord management.

120 Lighting system having photosensing timing switch circuit US18160 1987-02-24 US4851738A 1989-07-25 Tai-Her Yang
A lighting system, which includes one or more lighting apparatus sets, includes a control circuit. The control circuit has an ambient light sensing component and processing circuitry which produce a control signal whenever the intensity of ambient light reaches a given level and remains at that level or less. A delay (debounce) circuit receives the control signal and provides an output upon the expiration of a predetermined time interval which effects the transfer of power to the lighting apparatus set or sets and starts a timing circuit which is operatively arranged to assure continuing transfer of power to the set or sets for a given time interval, at the expiration of which power is removed from the set or sets. An alarm circuit also controlled by an output from the timing circuit may provide a warning alarm shortly before the expiration of the ON time interval. The control circuit may also turn OFF the power to the set or sets when ambient light of a set intensity becomes present.
