摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide for a remotely controllable electrical socket. Such sockets may include an electrical conductor for receiving a plug of an electrical device. The plug may be associated with a tag for receiving identifying information that corresponds to the electrical device. Exemplary sockets may further include a tag reader for obtaining identifying information from the tag, a sensor for detecting if the plug is inserted in the outlet, and a communications interface for wirelessly sending information to a computing device regarding the identifying information and whether the plug is inserted in the outlet. The communications interface may also receive operational instructions from the computing device (e.g., to turn the power to the plug/electrical device ON or OFF).

摘要： The present disclosure is directed to tamper resistant outlets (TRO) and adapters that adapt non-TRO compliant electrical sockets to become TRO compliant sockets. Adapters consistent with the present disclosure may include one or more sets of prongs or plug bars that mate with electrical wall outlets or sockets, such that an adapter can be plugged into a wall socket directly. These adapters may cover a non-compliant socket with a structure that provides TRO compliant receptacles. Other surfaces on the TRO adapter may include one or more sets of covers that cover receptacles included in the TRO adapter when a plug is not installed into a respective set of receptacles. Adapters consistent with the present disclosure may adapt sockets that use either two or three prongs. Adapters consistent with the present disclosure may be attached and retained using screws or other protrusions.

摘要： The present disclosure is directed to preventing serious injury or death by electrocution due to contact with a power source, such as an alternating current (AC) voltage source. Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may controllably provide an electrical voltage to an electrical conductor for a period of time and then remove that voltage from the electrical conductor before providing the electrical voltage to the electrical conductor a second time. By initially connecting the electrical voltage to the conductor, then removing that electrical voltage from the conductor before re-connecting that electrical voltage to the conductor, methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure allow a person to let go of the electrical conductor before the person is seriously injured or killed by an electrical shock in an instance where the body of the person is in physical contact with the electrical conductor.

摘要： A plug-able tamper resistant socket adapter that easily plugs into a regular wall socket is disclosed. Such an adapter eliminates the need to replace and rewire existing wall sockets with tamper resistant ones. Two methods for grounding the adapter if it is plugged into ungrounded (NEMA 1) wall socket are also disclosed.
