    Abstract: The system (100) for positioning a movable electrical socket (133) comprises at least one planar support element; on a first side of each support element, a rail system comprising fixed rails extending in a first direction and at least one second rail extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and connected to the first rails, wherein the at least one second rail is motor-driven and movable in the first direction relative to the first rails; a power transmission transmitter (120) connected to each of the second rails, each of said transmitters (120) is motor-driven and movable in the second direction along said second rail, and which transmitter (120) comprises a magnetic retainer (122); on each side of each support element opposite the first side thereof, at least one energy receiving receiver (130) comprising an electrical socket (133) and wirelessly connected to the transmitter (120) by resonant inductive coupling for receiving electrical energy to power an electrical appliance connected to said electrical socket (133), said receiver (130) being in a magnetic engagement through a magnetic retainer (132) with the magnetic retainer (122) of the transmitter (120) and is movable in a fixed position relative to said movable transmitter (120); a power transfer control unit (140) for supplying electrical power to the transmitter (120); a motion control unit (150) for operating the motor (107; 121) of the at least one second rail and the associated transmitter (120). The system further comprises a camera system (160) comprising cameras (162) for monitoring the movement of a user in the space defined by the second side of the at least one planar support element; a central computer (170) for receiving signals from the cameras (162) and determining at least the spatial position of the user on the basis of images provided by the camera system (160), the central computer (170) is configured to generate motion control signals for the motors (107; 121) of the second rail and the transmitter (120) based on at least the spatial position of the user and to send said motion control signals to said motion control unit (150) for moving the transmitter (120) into a target position according to the spatial position of the user, and further to send power control signals to the power transfer control unit (140). The central computer (170) is programmed to drive the motors (107; 121) of a second rail (106) and a transmitter (120) for moving the transmitter (120) along the support element so that the receiver (130) magnetically attached to the transmitter (120) always stay within a predetermined distance from the user.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides improved electrical box and conduit support plates that allow for central mounting of an electrical box to a support plate and mounting of electrical conduits for suspended installations in various orientations. The support plate includes a body having a plurality of built-in offsets, a plurality of built-in hanger tabs, and a plurality of clip mounting apertures that may be arranged as pairs. Each built-in offset preferably has two side walls extending from the body and a mounting arm between the side walls. Each mounting arm includes a plurality of clamp mounting apertures used to attach a conduit clamp to the mounting arm. Each of the plurality of built-in hanger tabs are preferably bendable relative to the body. Box and conduit support kits that includes a body and a plurality of hanger clips are also provided.

    Abstract: Floor box cover assemblies configured to couple to a floor box, which house one or more wiring devices are disclosed. In use, the floor box cover assemblies are configured to transition between a first or closed position and a second or opened position to enable selective access to the one or more wiring devices positioned within the floor box. Thus arranged, in the opened position, the floor box cover assembly enables an end-user to access a wiring device positioned within the floor box. In the closed position, the floor box cover assembly inhibits the ingress of liquids or debris. In one embodiment, the floor box cover assembly includes a cover plate that is rotatable between the opened and closed positions. In another embodiment, the floor box cover assembly includes a cover plate that is configured to be moved into a cover storage box when in the opened position.

    Abstract: A thruster power control box assembly includes a housing having a cover. Inside the housing is a switch circuit and a switch control circuit. The switch circuit directs current from an external battery to a pair of thruster cables that are connected to a thruster. The switch control circuit controls the switch circuit by configuring the direction in which current from the battery flows to the thruster cables so that the thruster can operate in both directions. The housing incudes bushings through which the various cables and conductors pass, and are sealed by a compliant plug and a compression nut on each bushing. A terminal box can be used to connect the various cables of the thruster to their corresponding cables of the thruster power control box.
