摘要： An alarm system for an indoor Christmas tree comprises a temperature sensor located on the tree or in proximity to the tree, an excessive-temperature detection circuit connected to the sensor and producing an excessive-temperature output signal when the sensed temperature exceeds a predetermined limit, and an alarm receiving the excessive-temperature output signal and producing an alarm indicating that the predetermined temperature limit has been exceeded. The excessive-temperature detection circuit and the alarm are located remotely from the tree, are powered by a standard power distribution system of the building in which the tree is located, and are connected to the temperature sensor at the tree by wires. An alarm may also be produced in response to an open circuit or a short circuit in the wires connecting the excessive-temperature detection circuit to the temperature sensor. The excessive-temperature detection circuit is housed in the plug that connects the alarm system to the power distribution system, and the temperature sensor is contained in a tree ornament in one embodiment.

摘要： A method of providing a vehicle service event includes providing at least one vehicle service area at a service facility. The at least one service area is configured to provide for the performance of a service event on a customer vehicle. At least one video camera is positioned with respect to the service area and the customer's vehicle to provide for capturing images of the customer vehicle. The method further includes performing a service event on the customer vehicle and while performing the service event, capturing images of the customer vehicle with the video camera. The method additionally includes receiving the captured images in a recording device, recording the captured images onto a electronic storage media with the recording device, and providing the electronic storage media to the customer.

摘要： A string of miniature holiday lamps connected in a series circuit with each lamp having an indicating device connected in parallel to its respective lamp. The indicating device is operated in response to the non functioning of the lamp with which it is connected in parallel. When the lamp fails, the full line voltage of the series circuit passes through the indicating device causing it to activate, signaling the non functioning lamp. The signaling device can be a resistor associated with a thermochromic paint that changes color when activated by the heat from the resistor, a sound alarm, an odor activated device or an electroluminescent light. In another embodiment the signaling device can be used to indicate a circuit having a resistive load is energized.
