  • Publication number: 20180325097
    Abstract: An insect repellant system that provides volatized pest repellant at a radius to the system. The repellant system includes at least one housing with (i) a base and an upper housing removably joined to the base to define an inner region of the housing, (ii) a repellant reservoir having a wick extending upwardly through a neck of the reservoir that receives a repellant fluid that is transferred by the wick during operation of the insect repellant system, and (iii) an evaporator system having a heater element coupled to a support assembly. The upper housing includes at least one upper fluid outlet and the base including at least one inlet opening. In an installed position, the repellant reservoir is inserted into the inner region and the wick extends through the support assembly and into the heater element to volatize repellant fluid carried by the wick.

  • Patent number: 10021875
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide an illumination system with an outer housing including a base, a central housing pivotably coupled to the base including a fluid inlet, and an upper housing including a fluid outlet. The inner housing defines a chamber and is coupled to the base, and includes a fluid aperture adjacent to the base, and a fluid aperture adjacent to the upper housing and a viewing aperture. The chamber houses an evaporator system not visible through the outer housing, and an illumination device. Some embodiments include a repellent system with a base including a fluid inlet pivotably coupled to a main housing enclosing an inner region, and including an upper portion with at least one fluid outlet. In some embodiments, an evaporator system within the inner region is not visible through the main housing. Some embodiments include an evaporator assembly that includes a lockable evaporator support to render the system non-refillable.

  • Patent number: 5400205
    Abstract: A nonvolatile fail-safe system providing protection from bus fault propagation for a multi-channel electric power generating system includes a controller which provides excitation control and protection for a first generator unit, position control for its generator control breaker (GCB) and position control for a bus tie breaker (BTB); protection logic which generates a trip signal for the BTB when a bus fault is detected isolating the load distribution bus from the tie bus, and thereafter generating an excitation isolation control signal and a GCB trip signal isolating the load distribution bus from the generator unit upon sustained presence of the bus fault. A latching generator control relay is electrically coupled in series with the excitation control and is responsive to the excitation isolation control signal for de-energizing the generator by isolating the excitation control.

  • Patent number: 5392218
    Abstract: An analog isolation barrier data acquisition system comprises a plurality of satellite sampling modules which are referenced to remote grounds for sensing direct current (dc) voltages which are referenced to these remote grounds. The satellite sampling modules are capable of monitoring several signals which are referenced to its local ground system, and are comprised of three functional blocks: a signal selection block which allows proper selection of the dc voltage signal to be monitored; a modulation block which modulates the selected dc voltage signal to produce a modulated waveform; and a barrier coupling block which transfers waveform information contained in the modulated waveform from the local floating ground reference system to an analog ground reference system.
