  • Patent number: 11265692
    Abstract: A circuit breaker is for protecting a low-voltage circuit when current or current-time limits are exceeded in the low-voltage circuit. The circuit breaker includes an electronic trip unit which initiates an interruption or reduction of the current flow in the low-voltage circuit when first current or current-time limits are exceeded, and second current or current-time limits stored in the electronic trip unit, which are characterized by lower current limits or lower current-time limits, the second limits being activatable by an initiated switchover. A communication unit connected to the electronic trip unit is provided, which enables wireless communication, and the circuit breaker is designed such that when a wireless communication signal is received that exceeds a field strength value, the second limits are activated.

  • Publication number: 20220058346
    Abstract: In a variety of embodiments, machine classifiers may model multi-turn dialogue as a one-to-many prediction task. The machine classifier may be trained using adversarial bootstrapping between a generator and a discriminator with multi-turn capabilities. The machine classifiers may be trained in both auto-regressive and traditional teacher-forcing modes, with the generator including a hierarchical recurrent encoder-decoder network and the discriminator including a bi-directional recurrent neural network. The discriminator input may include a mixture of ground truth labels, the teacher-forcing outputs of the generator, and/or noise data. This mixture of input data may allow for richer feedback on the autoregressive outputs of the generator. The outputs can be ranked based on the discriminator feedback and a response selected from the ranked outputs.

  • Publication number: 20220056848
    Abstract: A passive flow splitting system for use in a turbine engine control system to provide split fuel flow to two fuel manifolds to supply primary and secondary fuel injectors for the particular combustion zones thereof utilizing intentionally different split ratios dependent on ascending or descending combustion fuel flow is provided. The system includes a passive fuel divider valve (FDV) that includes a primary piston and a secondary piston. The primary piston is moveable independently from the secondary piston during a portion of its stroke, and is hydro-locked to the secondary piston during another portion of its stroke. An ecology valve is also provided to purge the fuel from the primary and/or secondary manifolds during different modes of operation. A transfer valve is included to control the position of ecology piston of the ecology valve.

  • Publication number: 20220057235
    Abstract: A sensor for detecting a position on a path extending in a path direction, includes a transmitter element having at least one centrally arranged magnet and two magnets arranged at the edge in front of and behind the centrally arranged magnet. The magnetic poles of the magnets are aligned transversely with respect to the path direction to emit a magnetic field which varies in the path direction. The sensor includes a measurement transducer arranged to output a measurement signal dependent on the magnetic field. The transmitter element and the measurement transducer are movable with respect to one another. The sensor includes an evaluation device set up to output, based on the measurement signal, a sensor signal dependent on the relative position between the measurement transducer and the transmitter element. The centrally arranged magnet is arranged to excite a greater magnetic flux than the magnets arranged at the edge.
