1. A TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) setting tool, comprising:
a housing having mounted thereon a display unit and an input device and mounted therein a circuit board and a power supply device, said power supply device being electrically coupled to said circuit board for providing the TPMS setting tool with the necessary working power supply, said circuit board comprising:
a MCU (micro control unit) electrically coupled with said display unit and said input device;
a memory unit electrically connected to said MCU and adapted for storing communication protocols;
a low-frequency communication unit electrically connected to said MCU;
a radio-frequency communication unit electrically connected to said MCU;
a clock system electrically connected to said MCU; and
a connection port electrically connected to said MCU, said connection port comprising a plurality of pins;
wherein said housing further comprises a receptacle located at one side thereof and adapted for receiving a TPMS; said connection port being installed in said receptacle;
wherein said housing further comprises a lock knob disposed at one side relative to said receptacle and adapted to lock an inserted TPMS in said receptacle, allowing the inserted TPMS to be removed from said receptacle when said lock knob is pressed down by a person.
2. The TPMS setting tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein said circuit board comprises a flash-ROM (flash read only memory) unit.
3. The TPMS setting tool as claimed in claim 1, wherein said circuit board comprises a RAM (random access memory) unit.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A plant tag comprising:
a body;
a central leg operably attached to the body, the central leg extending from a central portion of the body;
a means for preventing removal of the tag from a pot, the means consuming a portion of the central leg; and
at least one side leg operably attached to the body, the side leg extending from the body adjacent the central leg.
2. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the central leg is integral with the body.
3. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the central leg has two opposing notches.
4. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the said at least one notch is located adjacent the body.
6. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the central leg has a pointed terminal end.
7. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the central leg includes at least one tab formed by bending a cut portion of the central leg.
8. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the said at least one side leg is integral with the body.
9. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the said at least one side leg has a pointed terminal end.
10. The plant tag of claim 1, further comprising two side legs, each located on opposing sides of the central leg.
11. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the said at least one side leg extends in a direction substantially parallel to the central leg.
12. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the said at least one side leg is shorter than the central leg.
13. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the tag is formed from a polypropylene or polystyrene.
14. The plant tag of claim 1, further comprising a bend line, extending linearly and centrally through the extension of the central leg and the body.
15. The plant tag of claim 14, wherein the tag is bent along the bend line.
16. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the means for preventing removal of the tag from a pot comprises an opposing pair of indentations on the central leg.
17. The plant tag of claim 16, wherein the indentations are located adjacent the body.
18. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the means for preventing removal of the tag from a pot includes an opposing pair of tabs on the central leg, the tabs being formed by cuts and capable of being bent away from the central leg; and
19. The plant tag of claim 1, wherein the tag is bent along a bend line, the line extending linearly and centrally through the central leg and the body.
20. A method of tagging a pot, comprising:
providing a pot having a central cavity and a lip extending from the cavity, wherein the lip contains a perforation; and
placing a tag into the pot, the tag having: a body; at least one central leg operably attached to the body, the central leg extending from the body and having at least one notch; and at least one side leg operably attached to the body, the side leg extending from the body adjacent the central leg, wherein the at least one central leg is placed into the perforation of the pot.
21. The method of tagging according to claim 20, wherein the tag resists removal from the pot when a bottom surface of the notch contacts an inner surface of the lip.
22. A tagged pot comprising:
a pot having a central cup-like recess and a lip surrounding a top end of the central recess, wherein the lip contains at least one perforation; and
a plant tag having: a body; a central leg operably attached to the body, the central leg extending from a central portion of the body and being inserted into the at least one perforation; a means for preventing removal of the tag from the pot, the means consuming a portion of the central leg; and at least one side leg operably attached to the body, the side leg extending from the body adjacent the central leg.
