20130208381 | BREAKER CONTROL SWITCH WITH A TIME-DELAY CLOSE FUNCTION TO MITIGATE AN AURORA EVENT - Control circuits for breaker control switches with a time-delay function and associated methods of making and using these devices to prevent an aurora event are disclosed. An exemplary control circuit may include a signaling device configured to provide a close signal for a circuit breaker to close; a timer configured to complete a countdown after the circuit breaker is opened; and a switch configured to close the circuit breaker after the countdown is complete and when the close signal is provided by the device. This may prevent engaging a piece of equipment with the power grid when the piece of equipment is out of phase or frequency with the power grid, which often leads to significant damage or destruction of the piece of equipment. Other embodiments are described. | 08-15-2013 |
20140312893 | INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC SENSORS FOR MONITORING ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS - Intelligent electronic sensors, system containing such sensors, and methods for using such sensors for monitoring electrical circuits are described herein. The electronic sensors can monitor current flow through a conducting line and are oriented substantially parallel to the conducting line.

20130123896 | EXTERNAL STEERABLE FIBER FOR USE IN ENDOLUMINAL DEPLOYMENT OF EXPANDABLE DEVICES - The present disclosure describes treatment of the vasculature of a patient with an expandable implant. The implant is constrained to a reduced delivery diameter for delivery within the vasculature by at least one sleeve. The implant can be constrained to other diameters, such as an intermediate diameter. The sleeves can be expanded, allowing for expansion of the diameter of the expandable implant, by disengaging a coupling member from the sleeve or sleeves from outside of the body of the patient. The expandable implant can comprise a steering line or lines which facilitate bending and steering of the expandable implant through the vasculature of a patient. | 05-16-2013 |

20120109283 | STENT HAVING ADJACENT ELEMENTS CONNECTED BY FLEXIBLE WEBS - A stent incorporating flexible, preferably polymeric, connecting elements into the stent wherein these elements connect adjacent, spaced-apart stent elements. Preferably the spaced-apart adjacent stent elements are the result of forming the stent from a helically wound serpentine wire having space provided between adjacent windings. Other stent forms such as multiple, individual spaced-apart ring-shaped or interconnected stent elements may also be used. The connecting elements are typically web-shaped and result from creating slits or apertures in a covering of graft material applied to the stent and then, for example, applying heat to cause the slits or apertures to enlarge. The remaining graft material forms the interconnecting webs between the adjacent stent elements. | 05-03-2012 |

20110209780 | FOAM SPRAY GUN HOSES WHICH PREVENT CROSSOVER - A variably tensionable check valve with a first end and a second end that includes a housing, a tension adjuster, a resiliently deformable elastic member, and a flow restriction member biased in a closed position. The housing includes a first portion, a second portion, and first and second passageways with a transition portion therebetween. The second portion includes at least one peripherally extending raised rib and a second internal passageway. The surface area of a cross-section of the first internal passageway is greater than the surface area of a cross-section of the second internal passageway. The tension adjuster, the elastic member, and the flow restriction member are located within the first internal passageway, wherein the tension adjuster secures the elastic member and the flow restriction member within the first internal passageway, and wherein rotational movement of the tension adjuster modifies the biasing force of the elastic member. | 09-01-2011 |

20110030446 | APPARATUS FOR FORMING A DUCT - An apparatus for forming a duct includes a bending apparatus and a support apparatus. The bending apparatus includes a table, a cut off beam, and a leaf hinged to a forward edge of the table. The cut off beam is movable toward and away from the table to clamp or release a metal web being fed forward across the table and the leaf. The cut off beam repeatedly clamps the metal web to the table while the leaf pivots toward the cut off beam to form a duct section. The support apparatus includes a cross rod movable along pivoting support arms. As the metal web is bent to form the duct section, the support arms and the cross rod are moved to internally support the duct section. | 02-10-2011 |

20100024498 | PIN-A-PLUG TIME SAVING DEVICE FOR RE-KEYING A LOCK - A device for re-keying a lock that frees the locksmith from having to handle individual tumblers. A magazine is provided for each tumbler in the lock. Each magazine is numbered or coded to indicate the size of the tumblers within. The magazines fit into the top of a housing that temporarily holds the plug portion of the lock to be re-keyed. Upon alignment of the magazines with their corresponding holes in the plug, the tumblers fall into place and the lock has effectively been re-keyed. The plug is then removed from the housing and ready to be placed back in its original lock assembly. | 02-04-2010 |

20100278214 | Pulse-level interleaving for UWB systems - Systems and methods are disclosed that provide pulse-level interleaving for multi-pulse-per-bit ultra wideband (UWB) transmit and receive processing techniques to provide significantly improved multi-access for UWB systems and, more particularly, for long range UWB systems. A bit stream is processed such that each bit in a bit stream is represented by a plurality of bits in a bit frame and then transmitted using a plurality of UWB pulses for each bit frame. Where on-off-keying (OOK) modulation is used, each logic “1” is sent out as a plurality of pulses, and each logic “0” is sent out as a plurality of non-pulses. Pulse-level interleaving (PLI) of the pulses across multiple bit frames prior to transmission is provided to allow for improved multi-access (MA) by a plurality of UWB transmitters operating at the same time. Rather than attempt to detect each pulse as it arrives at the receiver, the receiver instead first de-interleaves the pulses and then aggregates the energy from the multiple pulses within each bit frame. The aggregated pulse energy is then processed by a pulse detector to detect a pulse. Where OOK modulation is used, this pulse detection detects the existence of a pulse or the lack of a pulse within the bit frame. | 11-04-2010 |
