20100066381 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE FAULT DETECTION IN MV DISTRIBUTION CIRCUITS - A method and a protective device operable to perform the method are provided, wherein the method is for detecting and analyzing faults in a first cable and one or more other cables, which convey power in a three phase feeder system. Current magnitude in the first cable is compared to a threshold level. If the current magnitude exceeds the threshold level, the duration of the condition is measured. If the duration falls within a predetermined duration range, a predetermined time interval is allowed to pass and then a determination is made whether a fault is detected in the one or more other cables. If a fault is not detected in the one or more other cables, then a determination is made that a single phase fault has occurred in the feeder system. | 03-18-2010 |

20090095248 | POWER ASSEMBLY FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH IN-CYLINDER DEPOSIT SCRAPER - A power assembly for an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder with a circular wall defining a first inside diameter. A piston is reciprocably housed within the cylinder. An integral, unitary piston deposit scraper is formed in a portion of the circular wall of the cylinder by upsetting a portion of the metallic wall so as to configure a piston scraper with a second inside diameter which is less than the first inside diameter. The inside diameter of the piston scraper closely matches that of the outside diameter of the top land of the piston. As a result, the piston scraper removes combustion deposits from the piston each time it moves into the top dead center position. | 04-16-2009 |
