International Classification:

H02H 3/08

US Classification:

361 932

Abstract:

A circuit breaker includes separable contacts, an operating mechanism to open and close the contacts, and a trip unit cooperating with the operating mechanism to trip open the contacts. The trip unit includes a first component having a processor and a first memory storing a first set of a plurality of trip unit settings, and a second component of the trip unit. The second component is separable from the first component or the trip unit, and includes a second memory storing a second set of a plurality of trip unit settings. The second component saves the first set of the plurality of trip unit settings as the second set of the plurality of trip unit settings in the second memory, and restores the second set of the plurality of trip unit settings in the first memory of the first component or of another first component of another trip unit.

Appl. No.:

6/412368

Inventors:

Eugene G. Vaerewyck - Pittsburgh PA
Arthur E. Anderson - Murrysville PA

Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corp. - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H02H 708

US Classification:

361 31

Abstract:

A Faraday rotator optical sensor in combination with optical fiber transmission means is employed to monitor overload current conditions in a high voltage electrical load and transmit this information to a low voltage signal processing circuit while providing desired isolation between the high voltage load and the low voltage signal processing circuit.

Appl. No.:

7/189896

Leonard C. Vercellotti - Oakmont PA
Arthur A. Anderson - Irwin PA

Assignee:

Thermo King Corporation - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

G06F 1546

US Classification:

36455101

Abstract:

A method of mapping addresses of a plurality of refrigerated containers having remote monitoring units (RMUs) connected to a power line carrier based monitoring system which includes a master monitoring unit (MMU). The method adapts to the size of the expected number of containers to be mapped by any mapping command, to reduce the overall time to map either a large or small number of containers. The method includes the MMU selecting a modulo having a magnitude determined by the number of containers expected to be mapped, and the RMUs generating a random number within the range responsive to the modulo. The RMUs apply response messages to the power line, which include the addresses of the associated containers, at a time responsive to the magnitude of the random number.

Appl. No.:

5/665132

Inventors:

Arthur E. Anderson - Murrysville PA

Assignee:

Westinghouse Electric Corporation - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H04N 931

US Classification:

358 60

Abstract:

An improved projection color television system in which an optical radiation pattern, which is primary color coded, is generated by cathode ray tube means and optically coupled by projection optics to a projection screen display means. The projection screen display means includes a support substrate which has a plurality of phosphor areas disposed on the substrate with the phosphors areas including at least one primary color emissive organic phosphor composition. The primary color emissive organic phosphor area is optically registered via the projection optics to the corresponding primary color coded portion of the optical radiation pattern generated by the cathode ray tube means. The projection screen itself is thus emissive of the primary color visible radiation.

International Classification:

G06F 1518

US Classification:

395 10

Abstract:

The present system performs linear transformations on input probabilities and produces outputs which indicate the likelihood of one or more events. The transformation performed is a product of linear transforms such as P. sub. o =[A. sub. j P. sub. j +B. sub. j ]. multidot. [A. sub. k P. sub. k +B. sub. k ] where P. sub. j and P. sub. k are input probabilities, P. sub. o is an output event probability and A. sub. j, B. sub. j, A. sub. k and B. sub. k are transformation constants. The system includes a basic processing unit or computational unit which performs a probabilistic gate operation to convert two input probability signals into one output probability signal where the output probability is equal to the product of linear transformations of the input probabilities. By appropriate selection of transformation constants logical and probabilistic gates performing the functions of AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, NOT, IMPLIES and NOT IMPLIES can be created. The basic unit can include three multipliers and two adders if a discrete component hardwired version is needed for speed or a single multiplier/adder, associated storage and multiplex circuits can be used to accomplish the functions of the hardwired version for economy.

International Classification:

H04M 1106

US Classification:

340310A

Abstract:

A power line carrier communication system having a carrier current transceiver (CCT) interface with an electrical power line via a buffer which automatically provides a low output drive impedance while transmitting, and a high receiving impedance when receiving, all with solid state circuitry. The length of signal transmission by the CCT is monitored and automatically prevented from continuously loading the communication network in the event of a malfunction which causes a signal transmission to exceed normal maximum transmission time. Prevention of continuous loading of the communication circuit is accomplished without adverse affect on the CCT via a crowbar circuit connected to the buffer circuitry.
