摘要:
A system and method for instantaneously determining the absolute position of a linear or rotary actuator. A code plate having a series of digital words thereon is associated with the linear or rotary actuator. A magnetic or optical code plate is utilized, each code plate provided with N tracks. M signal levels are associated with each point on every track. The use of M-ary signal levels would enable the instantaneous determination of the position of the code plate when power is supplied to the system.

Resettable circuit interrupting devices, such as GFCI devices, that include reverse wiring protection, and optionally an independent trip portions and/or a reset lockout portion are provided. The reverse wiring protection operates at both the line and load sides of the device so that in the event line side wiring to the device is improperly connected to the load side, fault protection for the device remains. The trip portion operates independently of a circuit interrupting portion used to break the electrical continuity in one or more conductive paths in the device. The reset lockout portion prevents the reestablishing of electrical continuity in open conductive paths if the circuit interrupting portion is non-operational, if an open neutral condition exists or if the device is reverse wired. Methods for ensuring a reset lock out state before shipment are provided.

A children's play gym including a frame with an elongated tubular top rail having an inside surface, an outside surface and a lengthwise keyway between said surfaces, a plurality of legs, each leg having an upper end wall encircling the top rail, and an anchor releasably anchoring the upper end wall of each leg to the top rail. Each anchor includes a bracket bridging the keyway at that inside surface, and a threaded fastener extending through a hole in the end wall and through said keyway and being threaded into the bracket. This enables the upper end wall of each leg to be slid relative to the top rail and then clamped to the top rail at any location therealong by tightening the threaded fastener.
