Abstract: An outlet module mounting mechanism for use with a power distribution unit including: a bracket attachable to an outlet module; a latch movably coupled to the bracket, wherein the latch has a proximal end portion and a distal end portion; a link coupled to the proximal end portion of the latch; and a plunger connected to the link and movable between a released position and a latched position.

Abstract: Disclosed are power distribution systems and methods in which a power distribution unit (PDU) includes a residual current monitor (RCM) to detect the presence of downstream leakage current in the PDU. The RCM can include a current sensor with a core that has power conductors passing through the core and drive windings about the core. Drive circuitry of the RCM produce alternating drive signals through the drive windings to drive the core into and out of positive and negative saturation. Sensing circuitry of the RCM produce a response signal that is filtered by a high-order current signal filter to isolate characteristics of the downstream leakage current.

Abstract: Arrangements for enhanced robotic manipulation and control are provided. A system may include a mobile robot including a sensor generating sensor data indicative of a physical attribute of an object of interest, and a robotic arm including an actuator causing the robotic arm to move relative to the object of interest. The object of interest may be detected based on received sensor data. It may be determined whether the object of interest meets or exceeds a first threshold based on the sensor data. Accordingly, a label associated with a keypoint of the object of interest based on the sensor data may be generated. An orientation and scale of the object of interest in the environment relative to the robotic arm may be determined based on the label. Accordingly, a motion plan for the robotic arm may be generated. The robotic arm may be caused to perform the motion plan.

Abstract: A water atomizing unit that affixes to a blade sharpening device to cool, lubricate and clean the blade and sharpening disc. The unit pumps atomized water vertically downward and funnels the atomized fluid into a linear spray. The length and shape of the linear spray pattern is set by an elliptical array of bristles affixed to the bottom of the funnel. The spray deposits the clean water uniformly onto the blade and disc, keeping the blade temperature uniform across its length and width. The elliptical bristle array allows atomized water droplets to condense onto the bristles so as to define an elliptical ring of larger dripping water drops. The unit uses ultrasonic atomization in which the water is crushed and torn into small droplets by the energy of ultrasonic oscillation. The ultrasonic atomization is accomplished by a single piezo ultrasonic atomization device powered by a USB configured DC power supply.
