Abstract: A Shunt Trip Circuit Interrupter is to be installed within an electrical panel and includes a number of sets of separable contacts, a housing, an operating mechanism structured to move each set of separable contacts between at least an ON condition and an OFF condition, and a tripping mechanism situated within an interior of the housing and including an electronic circuit, a solenoid electrically connected with the electronic circuit, and a wire electrically connected with the electronic circuit and extending between the electronic circuit and an exterior of the housing, the wire being structured to be electrically connected with a switch system having at least one of a manual switch and an electronic switch that, when actuated, actuates the solenoid that engages the operating mechanism which moves each set of separable contacts from the ON condition to the OFF condition.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a blockchain-based risk assessment engine using any technique are described herein.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a probe card for testing dice on a wafer includes a substrate, a number of cantilevers formed on a surface thereof, and a number of probes extending from unsupported ends of the cantilevers. The unsupported ends of the cantilevers project over cavities on the surface of the substrate. The probes have tips to contact pads on the dice under test. The probe card may include a compressive layer above the surface of the substrate with a number of holes through which the probes extend.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically loading device status information into a network device. One embodiment comprises an apparatus in a network device, wherein the network device enters a sleep state under particular conditions. In one embodiment, the apparatus is for communicating with other devices on the network and comprises control circuitry that controls communication between the network device and the other devices on the network. The apparatus further comprises a memory device that stores configuration data for the control circuitry, wherein at least a portion of the configuration data is loaded into the control circuitry upon initialization of the network device. The apparatus further comprises a buffer that stores keep-alive data that is transmitted to a plurality of the other devices in the network to refresh the presence of the network device in the network, wherein the keep-alive data is loaded into the buffer from the memory device upon initialization of the network device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically configuring a configurable integrated circuit. One embodiment comprises a method for automatically loading data including configuration data to a configurable integrated circuit upon initialization of a system in which the configurable integrated circuit is embedded. The method of one embodiment comprises storing a plurality of commands and a plurality of data elements in a non-volatile memory of the system. The method further comprises reading contents of an initial address in the non-volatile memory. If the initial address contains a command, depending upon a type of the command, the method comprises writing contents of a next address in the non-volatile memory to a register space of the configurable integrated circuit, to a configuration space of the configurable integrated circuit, or to a command space of the configurable integrated circuit.
