Patent number: 11837863Abstract: A method and apparatus provide an improved way to monitor a circuit for deterioration and obtain an advance warning of the deterioration so that action can be taken before the circuit breaker may trip for the circuit. The method establishes a baseline for the circuit, including monitoring the zero crossing point for the voltage and current for the circuit. In operation, the circuit is monitored using the zero crossing point and this information is compared to the baseline to determine if a change has occurred. The baseline information establishes thresholds that signify that the circuit is deteriorating so that the appropriate signal can be provided so that an appropriate action can be taken, interrupt the circuit, take remedial action, etc.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2020Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: SMARTKABLE LLCInventors: Douglas S.

Patent number: 11836337Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product provide automated static or dynamic format selection of screen shot capture responsive to display size. An application, executed by a processor of the electronic device, presents, via a display, at least a portion of an electronic page. In response to receiving an input, via at least one input device of the electronic device, to capture a screen shot of the display, a controller of the electronic device determines a number of screens required to present an entirety of the electronic page. In response to the number of screens being equal to or less than a first threshold number of screens, the controller generates a static screen shot image of the electronic page. In response to the number of screens being greater, the controller generates a dynamic screen shot image that automatically scrolls or page flips through the entirety of the electronic page.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2023Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Amit Kumar Agrawal, Meng-Ru Yu, Mahadevan Ayalur
