Electrical connectors including a cable clamp (e.g., having a first clamp portion, a second clamp portion, and a hinge coupled to the first and second clamp portions such that the first and second clamp portions are movable relative to each other between an open position and a closed position in which the first and second clamp portions define a cable passageway), and a piercing conductor configured to place a fixture wire into electrical communication with an electrical cable disposed within the cable passageway. In at least some of these electrical connectors, a longitudinal axis of the cable passageway is substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the cable clamp when the first and second clamp portions are in the closed position. In at least some of these electrical connectors, at least one of the clamp portions comprises a flexible sidewall that at least partially defines the cable passageway.

H01R 13/58 - Means for relieving strain on wire connection, e.g. cord grip
H01R 4/24 - Connections using contact members penetrating or cutting insulation or cable strands
Foldable financial transaction card displays that include at least one popup member, methods of making such displays, and methods of promoting such displays. Some of the displays include folding members that are unitary with the popup members.
Wrappers are induced for multiple domains where, for a given target string having relatively universal distribution across domains of interest, a first wrapper may be defined and trained for a particular domain. Target strings extracted from that domain may be used to search for documents in other domains. New wrappers may be learned for other domains also containing the target strings. Further, a first wrapper may be learned for a given domain using a limited amount of training data from that single domain. The first wrapper is then applied to all pages in the domain to extract the relevant information. A few of the new words extracted are then searched against the document collection to obtain a list of domains that contain the extracted words. The updated information may be used as training data to learn new wrappers on those domains.
A combination five gallon bucket opener, includes a handle portion and a head portion, a first opener feature located in the head portion, the first opener feature having a plurality of engaging members and a bearing surface, at least one of the engaging members configured to receive a tab of a lid, at least one of the engaging members configured to engage a top surface of the lid, and a second opener feature located in the head portion, the second opener feature having at least one extended member configured to receive a cap, the at least one extended member having at least one feature defined therein to engage a corresponding feature on the cap.
A method and system provides a stored value token that comprises a notebook with a plurality of sheets fastened together by a binding device. The sheets may have one or more parallel lines for guiding handwritten text. The lines may be formed from ink. The notebook may further comprise a cover and a back. The cover may have human-readable media that identifies the token as a gift card and that may illustrate the type of consumer goods which may be purchased by with the notebook stored value token. The human-readable media can be formed from ink which is placed on a sheet that is attached to the cover by an adhesive. The back of the notebook stored value token can comprise a machine-readable code can that can be applied to a sheet which is attached to the back of the notebook stored value token by an adhesive.
G06K 19/00 - Record carriers for use with machines and with at least a part designed to carry digital markings
G06K 19/06 - Record carriers for use with machines and with at least a part designed to carry digital markings characterised by the kind of the digital marking, e.g. shape, nature, code

Method and system for creating an augmented reality experience in connection with a stored value token
A method and system for creating an augmented reality experience in connection with a stored value token comprises augmented reality software which can be loaded on a general purpose computer. This augmented reality software can be downloaded from an external source, such as the Internet. The augmented reality software may monitor camera signals in order to detect a marker on a stored value token. The augmented reality software tracks the position of this marker relative to camera. The augmented reality software can produce an object which is projected on the image captured by the camera and adjacent to the image of the marker. The projected object can have three dimensions as it is projected on a two dimensional display. In response to certain conditions, the projected object may later be changed so that it contains a graphical item related to the value associated with the stored value token.
A method and system provides a stored value token that includes a three dimensional, closed volume which can include a movable cover for allowing access to the closed volume. The closed volume can contain various movable objects such as consumer goods, like plant seeds, edible food stuffs like mints, and/or utilitarian objects that can be used by the consumer such as screws, nails, nuts, bolts, etc. The closed volume can comprise human readable printed media on one side that identifies the volume as a stored value card and that identifies the contents being contained within the closed volume.
B65D 83/04 - Containers or packages with special means for dispensing contents for dispensing annular, disc-shaped, spherical or like small articles, e.g. tablets or pills
A financial transaction card assembly is described. Specifically, the financial transaction card assembly comprises a drill gauge, at least one drill bit, and a substrate. The drill gauge and the drill bit may be removably coupled to the substrate. The drill gauge may be used to measure a plurality of drill bit sizes, and to purchase retail goods and services. The drill bit may be coupled to a drill to make holes in metal, wood, and plastic materials.
G06K 5/00 - Methods or arrangements for verifying the correctness of markings on a record carrierColumn-detection devices
B65D 85/28 - Containers, packaging elements or packages, specially adapted for particular articles or materials for incompressible or rigid rod-shaped or tubular articles for pencils or pens
G01B 3/34 - Ring or other apertured gauges, e.g. "go/no-go" gauge
G09F 11/00 - Indicating arrangements for variable information in which the complete information is permanently attached to a movable support which brings it to the display position
An apparatus for coupling and decoupling clips is described. Specifically, the apparatus allows for installation of clips to building structures of varying elevations. The apparatus may comprise a telescoping pole, a lower pivot joint, an upper pivot joint, and at least one reversible clip. The reversible clip may be removed from the upper pivot joint by applying a substantially vertical force in a downward direction to the telescoping pole. Lights may be attached to the reversible clip. The lower pivot joint and upper pivot joint allow for the reversible clip to be coupled to building structures at various angles.
