Abstract: A menu selection technique is based on orientation of a companion module used in a flexible load management (FLM) system. The FLM system includes a load center that utilizes circuit breakers in combination with companion modules (i.e., intelligent controllers). Each companion module has a graphical display as well as a push button included on a face of the module as an input device used to display and input information including icons, buttons, controls, messages, status, menus or other desired text on a user interface (UI) to enable a user to configure and operate the companion module. The companion module also includes an accelerometer configured to detect a gravitational orientation (i.e., a first orientation and an opposite or upside-down orientation) and movement of the module and, in response, generate a signal that is translated to a corresponding change in orientation of the information displayed on the UI, particularly when the companion module inserted into the load center.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a carrier tape that includes a first layer of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) adhesive tape. The carrier tape may further include a second layer of rigid polymer with a cavity. The rigid polymer may be coupled with a surface of the TPE adhesive tape such that the TPE adhesive tape is exposed by the cavity. A die may be coupled with the TPE adhesive tape within the cavity. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
