  • Patent number: 11974378
    Abstract: A occupancy sensor device comprising an occupancy sensor to output a detection signal, the detection signal including one or more pulses, the one or more pulses comprising one or more characteristics indicative of either detection of a motion or detection of a disturbance; a controller coupled with the sensor to receive the detection signal, the controller programmed to compare the one or more characteristics of the one or more pulses against a predetermined characteristic threshold, and based on the comparison, determine whether the one or more pulses indicate detection of the motion or detection of the disturbance. A machine readable-medium to comprise code for the controller. And, a device comprising an occupancy sensor and a vibration sensor to correlate vibrations with an output from the occupancy sensor to prevent false triggers.

  • Publication number: 20230089554
    Abstract: Multi-pole and single-pole circuit breakers include a housing and a reset lockout mechanism disposed within the housing. The reset lockout mechanism disables electrical communication between line and load terminals of the circuit breaker if a predefined condition exists. Some circuit breakers include a single actuator, transition between ON and OFF states, and are capable of performing test functions. The test functions may involve testing AFCI and/or GFCI functions of the circuit breakers. The test functions may be performed when the circuit breaker transitions from an OFF state to an ON state. Some circuit breakers including a reset lockout mechanism may be powered only on its line side. Some circuit breakers provide an electrical indication when they are in the OFF state.
