  • Patent number: 11265692
    Abstract: A circuit breaker is for protecting a low-voltage circuit when current or current-time limits are exceeded in the low-voltage circuit. The circuit breaker includes an electronic trip unit which initiates an interruption or reduction of the current flow in the low-voltage circuit when first current or current-time limits are exceeded, and second current or current-time limits stored in the electronic trip unit, which are characterized by lower current limits or lower current-time limits, the second limits being activatable by an initiated switchover. A communication unit connected to the electronic trip unit is provided, which enables wireless communication, and the circuit breaker is designed such that when a wireless communication signal is received that exceeds a field strength value, the second limits are activated.

  • Patent number: 10896788
    Abstract: An electronic trip unit is for a low-voltage circuit breaker of a three-phase AC circuit. The electronic trip unit includes a housing with a front, rear, left-hand, right-hand, top and bottom face; a controller to compare current measurement values of the three-phase AC circuit with at least one of current limit values, current period limit values and time period limit values and to output a tripping signal, for interrupting the three-phase AC circuit, upon the values being exceeded. The electronic trip unit further includes a receptacle to provide a connection between the electronic trip unit and the module, the module being receivable by the left-hand, right-hand, top or bottom side face of the housing. At least one function of the electronic trip unit is activated upon the module being received. The front face of the housing includes a viewing window. At least a portion of a received module is visible.

  • Patent number: 10747772
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for performing fuzzy substring search. One computer-implemented method includes determining, by operation of a hardware processor, one or more tokens of an input string received from a client application, identifying, from a database, a reference string based on the one or more tokens of the input string, determining a plurality of character index values of the reference string, each character index value indicating a position of a character in the reference string, determining one or more hop index values of the input string, each hop index value indicating a position of a separator in the input string, and calculating a similarity score of the reference string relative to the input string based on the plurality of character index values of the reference string and the one or more hop index values of the input string.
