You know, there are people who takes their devices, and checks the current in the socket-contacts,to make sure that everything is ok. I have to put it into a noun phrase. Please, tell me if the following phrase is ok:

"taking control measurements of the socket-contact wires"

:) if you have any better suggestion, please write :)

I have to translate a phrase "tablica piętrowa" - it is a device that looks like a cabinet, full of control devices. And it usually stands near the stairs on each floor.

I need an adjective that would inform the reader that this type of cabinet is installed on each storey:

isntead of saying: a control cabinet located at each floor,
I need an adjective: [adjective] control cabinet :)

The device looks like this:

I overhear conversations in class and people always say this once in a while.

I mean i know it means to get hit in the stomach but why do they call it "knock the wind out of you". It doesn't make sense.

There are some things I'm confused with the word "brand." I've broken them down into two parts below...

1) When we want to find out the company of someone's shirt, we say "what brand is your shirt?"
Does that also mean we can say "what brand is your car?" to ask about the car company, for example?
If not, does the word "brand" only apply to certain types of companies only?

2) Sometimes people say "brand" to implicate the whole company itself, and sometimes a certain line of products within a company (which makes it even more confusing). Is this correct?

For example, I've seen editors that refer to a popular videogame series from a company as a "brand." So, "Pokemon" and "Zelda" are Nintendo's brands.
