Flexible microconduits integral at a proximal end to a substrate and adapted for connection to a biological environment at the distal end are provided. Also provided are microsystems with at least one flexible microconduit integral at a proximal end to a substrate and with a distal end that is adapted for connection to a biological environment. The microconduits may be fluid conduits, electrical conduits, or electro-fluidic conduits that transmit both fluids and electrical signals. Methods for fabricating the microconduits and other structures integral with the substrate are also provided.

A circuit includes a first plurality of contacts configured to be in electrical communication with a plurality of electronic devices. The circuit card further includes a flexible portion including a dielectric layer, a second plurality of contacts, and a plurality of electrical conduits extending across a region of the flexible portion and in electrical communication with one or more contacts of the first plurality of contacts and with the second plurality of contacts. The flexible portion further includes an electrically conductive layer extending across the region of the flexible portion. The electrically conductive layer is superposed with the plurality of electrical conduits with the dielectric layer therebetween. The electrically conductive layer does not overlay one or more portions of the dielectric layer in the region of the flexible portion.

An in-floor receptacle or electrical conduit box with a compartment divider removably attached to a gang-plate divider, a gang-plate divider removably attached to a gang-unit holder, at least one gang-unit holder removably attached to the inside of the box, and at least one knockout located on each side or floor of the box. The in-floor electrical conduit box enables the connection of permanent cables, wires or cords to temporary cables, wires or cords.The in-floor electrical conduit box further comprises a lid with at least one removable door whereby the removal of the door permits cable access to the box while the box is still covered.

A mounting bracket for spacing an electrical junction box at a distance away from a portion of a frame wall, the frame wall having a top plate, a bottom plate and one or more wall studs extending the top plate and the bottom plate, the electrical junction box having a back plate and one or more sidewalls extending from the back plate, the one or more sidewalls adapted to receive one or more electrical conduits, the mounting bracket having a back plate and an securement plate.

The present invention concerns an apparatus to extend a computer interface from a user inaccessible location to a user accessible location. Specifically, the apparatus of the present invention is configured to provide at least one computer port in an easily accessible location that is connected, via an adaptor, to a computer port integrated into a computer. The computer interface extender includes a hardware interface portion having a primary computer interface port, e.g., a USB port, that incorporates at least a first bidirectional electrical conduit and is configured to couple to a port located within a computer housing. The apparatus also includes a user interface portion having at least one, and preferably four, secondary computer interface ports, e.g., USB port, equipped with secondary bidirectional electrical conduit. Connecting the hardware and user interface portions is an extension member with a conduit bridge connecting the first and second bidirectional electrical conduits. The hardware and user interface portions fasten the interface extender apparatus to the computer housing.

An adjustable ground clamp for easy positioning onto electric conduits of different diameters and grounding multiple electrical devices. A first and a second jaw are pivotally connected and have differently angled jaw surfaces. A distal end of the first jaw has an elongated hole and a distal end of the second jaw has a curved fork having a slot for receiving a bolt with a cylindrical nut. A fastener connects a ground conductor or wire to the ground clamp. A terminal block accepts ground conductors from multiple different electrical devices. The jaws may be easily separated for placement of an electrical conduit without separating or detaching any parts from the ground clamp, making attachment to an electrical conduit quick, easy, and secure. The terminal block permits different electrical devices to be grounded with a single ground clamp.

The marking sheet for cutting drywall provides an adhesive sheet having a marking layer formed of a transferable medium for transferring an image of an opening to the rear surface of a sheet of drywall. The user may then use the transferred image as a template for cutting an opening through the sheet of drywall. The marking sheet is dimensioned and configured to correspond to the opening, and is adhered to a building frame element defining the opening. The drywall is positioned against the marking sheet to form the image. The drywall is then removed from the marking sheet, and the user cuts the opening in the drywall. The marking sheet may be used to form openings in drywall for electrical boxes, for HVAC ducts, for plumbing pipes, for electrical conduit, or for window or door openings by marking the corners of the window or door openings.
