Publication number: 20260074517Abstract: A system includes a breaker set, an inverter operatively connected to the breaker set, and at least one direct current (DC) voltage converter operatively connected to the inverter. A microgrid interconnection device (MID) can be operatively connected to the breaker set. A controller provides smart functionality for energy production, distribution, and control among residential sources and loads connected to the system. The controller, the breaker set, the MID, the inverter, and the at least one DC voltage converter can be housed within an enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2024Publication date: March 12, 2026Applicant: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventors: Subhadeep Bhattacharya, Satish Rajagopalan, Jaser Faruq, Colin Scott, Arun Venugopal

Publication number: 20260074488Abstract: A system includes an enclosure defining an interior space enclosed by a wall of the enclosure. Power electronics are disposed within the interior space. The power electronics can include at least one inverter configured to invert direct current (DC) power to alternating power, at least one voltage converter for boosting voltage from a DC source up to electrical panel voltage, at least one rectifier configured to rectify alternating current (AC) power to DC power, and at least one voltage converter for reducing voltage from electrical panel voltage to a battery charging level. Wall mounting features can extend from the enclosure, configured for mounting the enclosure to a wall surface. It is also contemplated that hinge components can extend from the wall of the enclosure so the enclosure can be hingedly mounted to an electrical panel as a door of the electrical panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2024Publication date: March 12, 2026Applicant: Schneider Electric USA, Inc.Inventors: Jeff Richter, Colin Scott, Tannan Whidden Winter, Subhadeep Bhattacharya, Arun Venugopal

Patent number: 11649614Abstract: A retainer sleeve configured for use in a retainer system for a ground engaging tool includes a plurality of plate-like sections, each section being flexibly joined with an adjacent section along either a radially inner edge or a portion of a radially outer edge. The radially inner edges of the plurality of sections form part of a segmented inner surface configured for engagement with an outer surface of a locking member of the retainer system. The inner surface extends partially around a central axis of the retainer sleeve to form a substantially C-shaped retainer sleeve having opposite circumferential ends that are spaced from each other. The radially outer edges of the plurality of sections form part of a segmented, frustoconical outer surface configured for engagement in an internal lock cavity of a ground engaging tool tip.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Doug Serrurier, Mihai Mircea Balan, Scott Anthony Schick, Eric Thomas Sinn, Jason Grant Jura, Arun Venugopal, Kadirvel Muthusamy

Patent number: 10060099Abstract: A wear indicator is provided for a wear member of a machine wherein the wear member is subject to wear during use of the machine. The wear indicator may include a plug member configured to be positioned in a region of the wear member subject to wear. The plug member may be oriented with a central axis extending in a direction substantially parallel to a direction of wear of the wear member. The wear indicator may include a plurality of perceptibly different and distinct axial cross sections taken perpendicular to the central axis of the plug member in axially spaced planes along the central axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Caterpillar, Inc.Inventors: Doug Serrurier, Arun Venugopal

Patent number: 9995021Abstract: A wear member for a tool may have a generally planar first wear member portion defining an opening. The first wear member portion may also have a first inward surface defining a projection adjacent the opening for removably coupling the wear member to a mounting base attached to the tool. The wear member may also have a generally planar second wear member portion extending from the first wear member portion in a direction generally perpendicular to the first wear member portion. The second wear member portion may also have a second inward surface contiguous with the first inward surface. The first and second inward surfaces may define a receiving pocket configured to receive the mounting base, and the projection may be positioned completely within the receiving pocket.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2015Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Douglas Serrurier, Arun Venugopal
