Patent number: 11877407Abstract: A surge protection device has a housing that is formed from a first lateral portion, a middle portion, and a second lateral portion that are connected together with a plurality of fasteners. The surge protection device includes an electronic apparatus having a neutral wire and further includes a housing that advantageously includes a strain relief that causes the neutral wire to frictionally engage the housing with sufficient friction to resist a predetermined tension applied to the free end or other portion of the neutral wire at the exterior of the housing from damaging an electrical connection between the neutral wire and a circuit board within an interior region of the surge protection device.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: Ramesh Shivaji Powar, Ramesh Jagadale, Jeffrey Cox, Jeffrey W. Lockhart, Victor Epee

Patent number: 11282663Abstract: A shunt trip assembly structured to be operatively coupled to a number of circuit breakers uses a lever to actuate an operating mechanism of the circuit breakers and uses a selectively powered solenoid to power the lever. The shunt trip assembly is composed from a standardized shunt assembly designed for use with a plurality of different solenoid coils, such that a given standardized shunt assembly will be operative regardless of which of the solenoid coils are added to the standardized shunt assembly. The shunt trip assembly requires less than 10 amps of current to operate; can be powered by any of a 12 volt AC/DC, 24 volt AC/DC, or 48 volt AC/DC power source; and is functional in temperatures ranging from ?40° C. to +60° C.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: EATON INTELLIGENT POWER LIMITEDInventors: Srushti Kawale, Abhinav Pandey, Karthik Satyanarayanan, Jeffrey Cox, Projesh Basu, Edward V. Stout, Akshay Jamdade, Rajesh Londhe

Publication number: 20060002419Abstract: A computer system and method for transmitting 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) LAN signals over transport systems. Standard 10GE LAN signals are generated in any client IEEE 802.3 10GE LAN compliant interface. A transceiver receives the client 10GE LAN signal in the LAN format. The client 10GE LAN signals are not converted to a SONET transmission format at any time before reaching the transceiver. The transceiver then converts the client 10GE LAN signal to an internal electrical 10GE LAN signal before re-clocking the internal electrical LAN signal. The re-clocked internal electrical 10GE LAN signal is then re-modulated into a second 10GE LAN signal. The second 10GE LAN signal is then transmitted to a transport system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2005Publication date: January 5, 2006Inventors: Jeffrey Cox, Samir Sheth
