Prefabricated electric connection device for connection to a set of bars

Abstract: A prefabricated electric connection device includes a set of bars which extend parallel to each other. Intermediate connection members each provided with an external insulating sleeve are fixed to respective ones of the bars and extend forwards perpendicularly to the bars. The bars are drilled with aligned holes through which extend, with interposition of the insulating sleeves, the intermediate connection members fixed at their rear ends to the bars situated behind a first bar.

The "Feelings just are" children's television project.

Abstract: Though the use of public service announcements (PSAs) in mass media campaigns has been criticized because they tend to receive limited audience exposure, due to few prime-time broadcasts, the "Feelings Just Are" PSAs reached a target audience of children without relying on frequent broadcasts during evening prime-time. The "Feelings Just Are" series of PSAs for school-age children was aired by 19 commercial, educational, and independent television stations in South Carolina. One of the commercial stations recorded the date and time of each PSA broadcast during the campaign's first year and provided its hourly audience ratings for children. Comparing the time of broadcast of the PSAs to the station's audience ratings revealed the amount of audience exposure the PSAs received. The results indicate that the 188 broadcasts from this station produced an estimated 7.4 million exposures among the station's total viewing audience, including 1.1 million exposures among school-age children. Nearly 80% of the 188 broadcasts occurred during heavy viewing hours for children, mostly during children's daytime viewing hours on weekdays and weekends. The results suggest that public service air time from local television stations may be a potentially valuable resource for mass-media based community interventions.

Prefabricated electric connection device to link on a set of bars.

Abstract: Un dispositif de connexion electrique prefabrique pour liaison sur un jeu de barres s'etendant parallelement les unes aux autres. Ce dispositif est caracterise en ce que les barres paralleles entre elles (1, 2, 3) sont situees les unes derriere les autres, dans une direction perpendiculaire aux plans des barres, des organes de connexion intermediaires (4, 5, 6), pourvus chacun d'une gaine externe isolante (11), sont fixes respectivement aux barres (1, 2, 3) et s'etendent vers l'avant perpendiculairement a ces barres (1, 2, 3), et les barres sont percees de trous alignes (13) a travers lesquels s'etendent, avec interposition d'une gaine isolante (11), les organes de connexion intermediaires (5, 6) fixes, a leurs extremites posterieures, aux barres (2, 3) situees en arriere de la premiere barre (1).
