| 20110046809 | ADAPTIVE RELAYING CONTROLLED BY AUTONOMOUS EVENT DETECTION - An adaptive relaying control system and method is disclosed for adapting coordination of protective measures provided to an electric-energy distribution system as a function of at least an ambient weather condition. A weather sensor senses the ambient weather condition within a region adjacent to at least a portion of the electric-energy distribution system. A control unit is operatively coupled to the weather sensor to receive a weather signal indicative of the ambient weather condition and determine whether a storm condition exists based at least in part on the weather signal. The control unit establishes a suitable control philosophy for adapting coordination of the protective measures provided to the electric-energy distribution system based at least in part on whether the storm condition exists. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20100194557 | SWITCH - A portable switch enables an operator to open and close an electrical conductive pathway, such as a circuit, from a remote location. The tool may comprise a handle assembly selectively attached to an associated object. The handle assembly has a first member, which has a first position and a second position. A base clamping assembly is selectively attached to an associated open point, such as, but not limited to, an underground switch. A cable has a first end and a second end. The first end is operatively connected to the base clamping system. The second end is connected to an insulating portion. The insulating portion may be interposed between the base clamping assembly and the handle assembly. | 08-05-2010 |
