Abstract: The present disclosure is a system and method for virtualized energy metering. The virtualized energy metering is performed via a power distribution system including power modules that include voltage and/or current sensing circuitry. Each power module may include a processor unit configured to transform incoming analog signals into time-correlated digital data. The data captured by a first power module may be sent to a second power module that further analyzes and/or aggregates the digital data and reports out the analyzed/aggregated data to a user, including aggregated energy-related parameters. The system and method may facilitate the efficient sensing, measurement, and calculation of energy metering parameters, with greater optimization of monitoring resources, reduced complexity of hardware, and lower solution costs.

Abstract: An embedded wire removal tool is disclosed. The embedded wire removal tool can include a feed mechanism operable to cause movement of a cable. The cable can have a jacket about a core. The cable can also include a wire disposed about the core and at least partially embedded in the jacket. The embedded wire removal tool can also include a jacket cutter operable to receive the cable from the feed mechanism and remove at least a portion of the jacket. In addition, the embedded wire removal tool can include a wire excavator operable to separate the wire from the core.
