Abstract: An electrical outlet includes a base and further includes a power module that is movably situated on the base. The power module is movable among a plurality of different orientations on the electrical outlet. The power module includes different electronic devices on each of a plurality of surface portions of the power module. As the power module is moved with respect to the electrical outlet among the different orientations, a different exposed surface portion faces away from the electrical outlet, and a different electrical device that is situated on or adjacent the exposed surface portion is operable to output electrical power or to perform some other function. The various electrical devices can be selected to provide a balance of electrical services, such as multiple types of USB ports, wireless recharging, a nightlight, and the like, without limitation.

Abstract: An electrical receptacle provides a plurality of outlets that are in different orientations. The electrical receptacle has a housing having a plurality of openings formed therein which are also referred to as contact openings, with each outlet having three contact openings. Each such outlet has a contact opening that is common with another outlet, meaning that a contact opening of one outlet and a contact opening of another outlet are actually an individual contact opening that is common to the two outlets and is thus shared therebetween. The electrical receptacle additionally includes a thermally protected metal oxide varistor (TMOV) that employs a thermal fuse and a metal oxide varistor (MOV) in order to protect electrical devices that are connected with the electrical receptacle from damage due to extended surges and spikes.

Abstract: A receptacle includes an outlet, an interruption mechanism structured to activate to de-energize the outlet, a temperature sensing circuit including a resistor and a thermistor arranged as a voltage divider, wherein the thermistor has a resistance proportional to temperature, a comparator circuit structured to compare an output of the temperature sensing circuit to a predetermined reference voltage and to selectively output a signal based on the comparison of the output of the temperature sensing circuit and the predetermined reference voltage. The interruption mechanism is structured to activate to de-energize the outlet in response to the comparator circuit outputting the signal.

Abstract: An electrical outlet that is structured to be mounted to a wall and to be electrically connected with an AC power source employs a removable and replaceable power module that includes its own USB power outlets. The electrical outlet includes a base having a receptacle formed therein within which the power module is receivable. The base additionally includes its own AC power outlets. The power module may include, for example, one or more USB power outlets, such as USB type-A outlets, and the power module can easily be removed and replaced with an alternative power module that includes, for example, one or more USB type-C power outlets.
