Patent number: 12283798Abstract: An electrical panel having an arc prevention member wherein the arc prevention member inhibits exposed wire from contacting the inner surface of the sidewall of the panel box. The present invention includes a panel box having four side walls and a rear wall forming an interior volume operable to receive conventional electrical components therein. The electrical panel of the present invention includes an arc prevention member operably coupled to the side wall. The arc prevention member includes an upper portion and a lower portion contiguously formed. The upper portion is formed from a first segment and second segment having a void therebetween that is configured to couple to an edge of the side wall. The lower portion is integrally formed with the upper portion and extends outward therefrom into the interior volume of the panel box. The lower portion is arcuate in form.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2023Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Inventor: Charles Wade Huckaby

Publication number: 20250059677Abstract: A method of growing single crystal diamond assisted by polycrystalline diamond growth to enhance dimensions and quality of the single crystal diamond includes thermally mating a diamond seed on a top surface of a substrate holder providing a growth surface for a combination of single crystal diamond and polycrystalline diamond. A predetermined temperature difference between the diamond seed and the substrate holder during processing along with the plasma process conditions causes a single crystal diamond growth rate to be different from a polycrystalline growth rate by a predetermined amount. Process gasses are introduced, and a plasma is formed to grow both single crystal diamond and polycrystalline diamond on the growth surface so that the polycrystalline diamond grown adjacent to the single crystal diamond shields side surfaces of the growing single crystal diamond, thereby improving growth quality across the growing single crystal diamond.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2024Publication date: February 20, 2025Applicant: Plasmability, LLCInventors: Robert J. Basnett, Andrew Francis Basnett, Amanda Charris-Hernandez, William Holber, Travis Charles Wade, Adam James Brown

Publication number: 20180227324Abstract: Dashboards for displaying threat insight information are provided herein, as well as systems and methods for generating the same. According to some embodiments, methods for providing a threat dashboard may include locating metrics regarding a malicious attack against a targeted resource, where the metrics indicate instances where users were exposed to the malicious attack or instances where a cloud-based threat detection system prevented the user from being exposed to the malicious attack. The method may also include rendering a threat dashboard for a web browser application of a client device, where the threat dashboard includes the located metrics. In various embodiments, methods of dynamically detecting abnormalities in otherwise legitimate emails are provided. The methods may include determining and redetermining, using the one or more processors, one or more rules that define normal patterns in a number of sending Top-Level Domains of received emails.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2018Publication date: August 9, 2018Inventors: Charles Wade Chambers, Martin Traverso, Dain Sidney Sundstrom, David Andrew Philips, David Eric Hagar, Mark Erol Kent
