  • Publication number: 20240097432
    Abstract: An industrial system includes a load control assembly, an integrated absence of voltage tester (AVT), and an absence of voltage indicator. The load control assembly has a supply input, a load output, a disconnecting device, and a load controller coupled to the load output, with the disconnecting device coupled between the supply input and the load controller. The AVT is integrated into one of the disconnecting device and the load controller, and the AVT configured to detect an absence of an operating voltage of the load control assembly. The absence of voltage indicator is coupled to the AVT and configured to indicate the absence of an operating voltage of the load control assembly detected by the AVT.

  • Publication number: 20240069865
    Abstract: An adder for fractional logarithmic number system (FLNS) format operands includes a compare-and-swap circuit that inputs first and second FLNS operands represented by fixed point values and provides a greater one as operand x and a lesser or equal one as operand y. Sign bits are sx and sy of x and y, respectively, qx and qy, are integer portions of x and y, respectively, fraction portions of x and y have integer values rx and ry, respectively. The compare-and-swap circuit is configured to provide sx as a sign bit, sz of a sum z=x(1+y/x) for x?0. A subtraction circuit subtracts (qy+ry/n)?(qx+rx/n) and outputs q? and r?, such that ?=y/x, where n=2wr and wr is a bit-width of rx and ry. An approximation circuit provides an approximation of (1+?) to a nearest FLNS value, ?, as fixed point value having an integer portion q? and a fraction portion that has an integer value r?.

  • Publication number: 20230281709
    Abstract: A corporate credit ratings methodology based on the measurement of overall organisational performance is defined and explained. The overall organisational performance is then further explained that it can be derived by measuring over-arching variables of stability, resilience and sustainability. The overall organisational performance corresponds to existing ratings scale which shows corporate credit ratings can be given from the derived overall organisational performance for each company. The values of sub-dimensions can be collected and benchmarked from public and private data sources as explained in the embodiments. A collected data points can be benchmarked, weighted and finally values of stability, resilience and sustainability can be generated leading to the overall organisational performance score and its further interpretation into assigning a corresponding credit ratings to a corporate.
