Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to power isolation switch devices. In one embodiment, a power isolation switch device has a power insulator, an arc breaker, and a switch. The power insulator and the switch are connected in parallel. The arc contact is operably associated with the switch such that the arc contact is removed from the arc chute as the switch is opened and is inserted to contact the arc chute when the switch is closed. In this manner, the power isolation switch device does not need an interrupter and can be provided so as to be less bulky.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and/or a system for real-time analysis and marking of a target surface using a digital camera coupled marking device. In one embodiment, a master controller receives a real-time digital camera signal from the digital camera of a marking device communicatively coupled to the master controller. The master controller analyzes the digital camera signal using an image recognition algorithm, a machine vision algorithm, and a database and archives a visual state and an object design parameter of an object. The master controller compares the visual state of an object with a library of known visual states in the database to extract an associated marking pattern and a desired marking location of the object. The master controller generates and sends a marking command to a pin marker of the marking device. The pin marker engraves the marking pattern onto the object in real time.
