And to enhance it a bit. The power via the "medical socket" is not standard 
120VAC 60Hz (US) either. It is slightly different and the medical equipment is 
designed to run on the, say 162VAC 87Hz, power. But a company has now developed 
a "bridge socket" which takes in the 162VAC 87Hz power and gives out 120VAC 
60Hz. That's sort of what zPrime is doing. Kinda. Would such a device be legal? 
It's only use is to bypass a company power restriction which was given to the 
consumer for a specific use (T&C) and making it run other devices. Just my 
feelings on the matter.
