  • Patent number: 12283798
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20250059677
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240413787
    Abstract: A cable management system for managing cables associated with an array of solar modules includes a body having an interior surface extending vertically, a lower flange extending directly from the interior surface of the body, and a cable management flange extending directly from the interior surface of the body above the lower flange. The cable management flange and the lower flange define a cable cavity therebetween for retaining at least one cable. Distal ends of the lower flange and the cable management flange define an opening for inserting the at least one cable into the cable cavity. The cable management flange is arranged to engage the at least one cable and secure the at least one cable in the cable cavity. The cable management flange is flexible to accept and retain the at least one cable.

  • Patent number: 10616272
    Abstract: Dynamically detecting abnormalities in otherwise legitimate emails containing Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) is provided. An example method includes determining one or more rules defining normal patterns in a number of sending Top-Level Domains of previously received emails received via a computer network to a user or group of users; generating a trusted trends criteria for a received email, associated with the user or the group of users, by evaluating the received email against the one or more rules; determining whether the trusted trends criteria exceeds a predetermined threshold; in response to exceeding the predetermined threshold, generating a second URL and applying it to the received email by replacing a first URL of the received email with the second URL; and redetermining the one or more rules defining normal patterns in the number of sending Top-Level Domains based on the previously received emails and the received email.

  • Patent number: 10443572
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for removing or installing a main shaft of a drivetrain assembly of a wind turbine to and from a nacelle installed atop a wind turbine tower. The rail system includes at least one support component configured to support the main shaft. Further, the support component is configured horizontally with respect to the main shaft. The rail system also includes at least one sliding component connected between the support component and the main shaft. Thus, the sliding component is configured to move horizontally with respect to the support component so as to slide the main shaft between an installed position and an uninstalled position.

  • Patent number: 10104029
    Abstract: A method for filtering unsolicited emails may comprise dynamically aggregating historical email data associated with a user or a group of users and dynamically determining one or more trusted trends criteria associated with the historical email data. The method may further comprise receiving a new email addressed to the user or the group of users, calculating a score associated with the new email based on the one or more trusted trends criteria, determining that the score is above a predetermined threshold score, and, based on the determination, selectively filtering the new email.

  • Publication number: 20180227324
    Abstract: 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.
