  • Publication number: 20230066177
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a system for positioning indicator lights of a network device. The system may include a circuit board, which may include a circuit board edge positioned behind a front panel of the network device, two surfaces; and a side of the circuit board edge positioned between the two surfaces. The system may also include a hole through the circuit board near the circuit board edge, a cutout extending from a portion of the hole to the side of the circuit board edge, a LED coupled to the surface of the circuit board and adapted to emit light into the hole, and a lightpipe disposed in the hole to receive light emitted from the LED into a first end of the lightpipe. The lightpipe may direct the light from a second end of the lightpipe toward an opening in the front panel of the network device.

  • Publication number: 20230067409
    Abstract: A processing unit. The processing unit includes a printed circuit board (PCB) including a lidless integrated circuit, a heatsink, and a damper system. The heatsink is coupled to the PCB and in thermal communication with the lidless integrated circuit via a thermal interface material. The damper system is compressed between the PCB and the heatsink and surrounding the lidless integrated circuit to absorb a portion of kinetic energy imparted to the lidless integrated circuit by an impact to the processing unit.

  • Patent number: 11523529
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for coordinating the installation and removal a motor control center subunit with the power connection and interruption thereof. A system of interlocks and indicators causes an operator to install a motor control center subunit into a motor control center, and connect supply and control power thereto, in a particular order. Embodiments of the invention may prevent actuation of line contacts of the bucket, and shield the line contacts, until the bucket is fully installed in the motor control center. Other embodiments also prevent circuit breaker closure until the line contacts are engaged with a bus of the motor control center.

  • Patent number: 11443320
    Abstract: A transaction processing system capable of processing transactions and implementing a flexible circuit breaker process during a cyber event. A circuit breaker module initiates a circuit breaker event (CBE), an account identification module identifies one or more affected accounts, and a rule generation module generates conditional rules for evaluating each transaction presented to a transaction processing module. If a transaction presented to the transaction processing module satisfies the conditional rule, the transaction is not processed. Transactions not processed are stored in memory and groups of impacted transactions are assigned to resource modules based on common characteristics. The resource module determines if impacted transactions should be allowed to process. A message notification module monitors and receives notifications and updates a dashboard display to allow users to visualize the impact of a cyber event.

  • Patent number: 11359835
    Abstract: Systems for controlling louver positions are described herein. Such systems may include: a louver frame; a louver coupled to the louver frame via a rotation member and adapted to rotate at a louver side around an axis of rotation at the rotation member. In one embodiment, the louver includes a spring member engagement feature. The system also includes a spring member coupled to the louver frame and adapted to engage with the spring member engagement feature of the louver and apply a force to the louver when a forward airflow is applied to the louver in a forward airflow direction.

  • Patent number: 11342137
    Abstract: A system and method for connecting supply power to motor control components includes use of a motor control center subunit with moveable supply power contacts. After a motor control center subunit is secured into a motor control center compartment, the supply power contacts may be advanced to engage supply power buses. For disconnection, the supply power contacts may be retracted and isolated from the buses before physical removal of the subunit.
