  • Monitor system for surge protection devices
    Patent number: 12217596
    Abstract: A monitor system for one or more surge protection devices may include a hub configured for wireless communication with one or more remote devices, or a sensor configured to detect an end-of-life state of a surge protection device (SPD). The sensor may include a transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit a sensor signal to the hub to indicate the end-of-life state of the SPD. The hub may be configured to transmit to one or more of a remote server or a mobile device a hub signal corresponding to the end-of-life state.
    Type: Grant

  • Exothermic Welding System
    Publication number: 20240278350
    Abstract: A disposable container for exothermic welding can include an internal compartment configured to hold weld material. The disposable container can include an integrated ignitor or an integrated filter. An ignitor can be formed as an agglomeration of weld material on a conductive filament. and can be secured to the disposable container within a mold.

  • Electrical connector for igniter for exothermic welding
    Patent number: 11114261
    Abstract: An electrical connector can be provided for connecting a power source to an insertable conductor, including an igniter for exothermic weld material. One or more conductors can be disposed within a housing that is configured to receive the insertable conductor. An actuator can be engaged from outside the housing to move at least one of the conductors within the housing between resting and actuated orientations.

  • Mobile card reader for lightning protection systems
    Patent number: 11030503
    Abstract: A mobile card reader can be configured to connect to an input module of a mobile device. The mobile card reader can scan a magnetic stripe card from a structure exposed to lightning strikes in order to output a lightning-indicator signal to the input module. The lightning-indicator signal can be analyzed to determine a magnitude of a lightning strike to which the magnetic stripe card and the structure have been exposed.
