Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) coupled to a hot-to-ground (H/G) sensing coil. The H/G sensing coil is coupled to alternating current (AC) mains. The TIA converts a leakage current, received from the H/G sensing coil, to a leakage voltage. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC), coupled to the transimpedance amplifier, converts the leakage voltage to a digital signal. Control logic is coupled to the ADC and processes the digital signal to determine an average value associated with the leakage voltage over time and determines a trigger delay period corresponding to the average value. The control logic outputs, in response to the leakage voltage still satisfying the average value after waiting the trigger delay period, a trip signal to trip logic to cause a disconnect of a current supplied to a load by the AC mains.

Abstract: A technique is described for generating a unified list (e.g., a list ribbon) of programs from a variety and disparate channels, the list for display on an over-the-top (OTT) client device.

Further, the unified list can include OTT recordings on the cloud and OTA/ATSC recordings on the local hard drive connected to an OTA local DVR. Thus, the OTT device Client obtains the list from the DVR backend, instead of going to the local OTA client box for the local recordings.
