Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to monitoring an automatic teller machine (ATM) network and determining anomalous fault behavior in the ATM network. A system may determine historical fault volumes in the ATM network and generate a time-series model of the fault volumes. The system may predict future fault volumes based on the generated time-series model. Based on the predicted future fault volumes and actual future fault volumes, the system may determine anomalous fault behavior and perform a remedial action associated with the ATM fault code determined from anomalous observed fault volumes.

Abstract: Methods and systems to compress and decompress sequences of images, such as video frames, including compression techniques to estimate pixel values, to determine differences between the estimated pixel values and actual pixel values, to arithmetically encode a corresponding sequence of difference values or symbols as a code value, and to output the code value and associated reference information in a data stream. Decompression techniques include techniques to read the code value and associated reference information from the data stream, to arithmetically decode the symbols from the code value, and to reconstruct the sequence of video frames from the decoded symbols and the associated reference information. Also disclosed are techniques to reduce or preclude overflow of registers or buffers used to hold code range values, and to order tables of code range values to improve efficiency of table look-up operations.

Abstract: Methods and systems to detect changes in a region of space relative to baseline measurements, including to process data to detect potential objects, or contacts against a natural background environment, to characterize and geo-register the contacts, to compare and correlate the contacts with a database of known objects, and to report uncorrelated contacts as new objects in the space. Features disclosed herein may be implemented to process image data from a line-by-line image-generation system including, for example, side-looking sonar. Methods and system may be implemented with respect to multi-frequency band sonar data.

Abstract: An electrical switching apparatus includes a circuit breaker device having a molded housing with line and load ends, plural terminals disposed from the housing, and first and second handle devices. The terminals electrically and mechanically engage a circuit breaker mounting block. The first and second handle devices engage the housing at or about the respective line and load ends. The handle devices remove the circuit breaker device from the mounting block. Each of the handle devices includes an insulative barrier having a first portion, a second portion and a third portion. The first portion at least partially covers a corresponding one of the housing ends. The second portion is coupled to the housing at or about the corresponding one of the housing ends. The third portion is structured to be manually grasped in order to pull the insulative barrier together with the circuit breaker device away from the mounting block.

Abstract: An operating mechanism is for a circuit breaker housed by an enclosure assembly including a panel movable between a closed position and an open position. The operating mechanism includes a linkage and an operating member. The operating mechanism is coupled to the handle of the circuit breaker to provide operation of the handle from the exterior of the enclosure when the panel is closed. The operating member includes a first end having an engaging portion coupled to the linkage of the operating mechanism, and a second end structured for gripping by a user. The operating member enables the handle of the circuit breaker to be operated, without requiring the use of separate hand tools, when the panel of the enclosure is open and the handle portion of the operating member is actuated.

Abstract: An improved shock resistant auxiliary switch mechanism for a circuit breaker includes a common conductor having a conduction plate that is slidably translatable between electrically conductive contact with first and second conductors. The conduction plate is biased by a spring in a direction toward contact with the first conductor. An improved shock resistant circuit breaker including the improved auxiliary switch mechanism includes a crossbar that is operatively engageable with the conduction plate to releasably retain the conduction plate in a position in contact with the second conductor. When the circuit breaker is in an ON position, the conduction plate is operatively interposed between the crossbar and the bias of the spring.

Abstract: A circuit breaker having a trip unit includes a lock out assembly positioned adjacent the trip unit for controlling access thereto. The lock out assembly includes a base member, a cover member and a slide member received therebetween. The slide member is moveable between various positions for controlling access to settings for the various operating parameters of the circuit breaker as provided by the trip unit.

Abstract: The helical contact compression springs of a circuit breaker are preassembled in a contact clip for easier assembly of the circuit breaker. The bottom wall of an elongated trough formed by the clip is pierced by holes forming cylindrical protrusions extending into the trough. The clip is placed over the springs supported in a row in a fixture. A die head presses on the spring clip to compress all the springs and then simultaneously insert punches into the holes in the clip to expand the protrusions and secure the springs to the clip. The fixture includes a slide mounted on guides for movement between a loading position and an operating position under the die head. A support block is pivoted on the slide to present one of two sets of spring recesses for circuit breakers having different current ratings with the slide in the loading position.

Abstract: A circuit breaker includes a molded housing and separable contacts for movement between a closed position and an open position. An operating mechanism moves the separable contacts between their closed and open positions. A trip mechanism includes a trip bar which rotates to trip the operating mechanism from a first position to a second position corresponding to the open position of the separable contacts. A mechanical mechanism includes an interlock cam which selectively prevents the trip bar from rotating to trip the operating mechanism.
