Patent number: 11223191Abstract: A power distribution and communication system includes nodes connected by power lines and communication links. The system receives power from one or more power sources. Each node contains at least one power port, data port and load port. Associated with each power port and load port is a port monitor for measuring current flowing into or out of the port and the voltage difference between the port outlet and ground, which measurements are passed to a processing element. The processing element and monitor analyze measured values to detect fault conditions. Upon fault condition detection, the port is disabled by opening a switch, disconnecting the port from the system voltage. The processing element receives power directly from the power line, thus receiving power from a live power line even if the associated power port is disabled allowing the processing element to enable a disabled node following a failure.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Applied Invention, LLCInventors: W. Daniel Hillis, Anthony N. Gardner, Russel Howe, Randall Adam Yates

Patent number: 11020807Abstract: The current invention relates to jig apparatus which is provided of a form to allow accurate positioning and repositioning of the same with respect to workpiece and the use of the jig apparatus to provide a guide for the provision of a drill bit through at least one guide passages therein to form a hole in the workpiece at a required location. In one embodiment the jig apparatus is provided in a form so as to provide a plurality of passages, each of which can be used as a guide for a drill bit to thereby allow a plurality of spaced apart drill holes to be formed in the workpiece without the need to move the jig apparatus with respect to the workpiece. In one embodiment guide means are provided which are selectively positionable by the user in order to allow the position of the jig apparatus with respect to the workpiece to be accurately defined and retained by the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Power Box AGInventors: Adam Yates, Michael Corcoran, Simon Bird, Daniel Pikarski, Darrell Morris, Jon Saunders

Patent number: 10766079Abstract: The invention relates to a drill hold assembly and a jig including the same. The drill hold assembly includes an engaging means which is selectively moveable between a released position to allow sliding movement of the drill bit with respect thereto and an engaged position in which the drill bit is held in a fixed position or within a predefined range of movement with respect to the engaging block to thereby maintain the drill bit in location with the drill hold assembly. The jig apparatus can be used with a powered drill to rotate the drill bit to provide a driving force to the drill bit and the jig is attached to a support surface and a workpiece is positioned between first and second jaws of the jig and the drill bit is advanced along a guide and introduced into the workpiece to form a hole therein at a predefined angle.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Power Box AGInventors: Daniel Pikarski, Darrell Morris, Michael Corcoran, Adam Yates, Simon Bird
