  • Patent number: 9823008
    Abstract: A storage compartment assembly is located within the interior of a compartment of a refrigerator such as a fresh food compartment of a refrigerator. The storage compartment assembly includes a storage container the temperature of which can be controlled independently of the temperature in the fresh food compartment. At least one of the sides of the storage container can be spaced away from a respective interior side of the refrigerator compartment and a housing located in the space between the side of the storage container and the interior side of the refrigerator compartment. The housing can contain components that are configured to function in the operation of the refrigerator, including the storage compartment assembly. The refrigerator can comprise a bottom-mount refrigerator and the fresh food compartment can be provided with double-doors for closing and opening the interior of the fresh food compartment.

  • Patent number: 5825643
    Abstract: A portable programming device is provided for communicating with and downloading tripping characteristics to a circuit breaker electronic trip unit. The programming device incorporates an umbilical cable which is attached to a connector on the trip unit, over which power is supplied to the trip unit and data is exchanged, a keypad with function keys including On/Off, Function, Breaker/Pane, Sensor and Program keys, and a LCD display which is capable of showing pertinent parameters such as circuit breaker type, sensor size, pickup and delay settings, current flowing through the circuit breaker and the trip characteristics to be downloaded to the trip unit. The portable programming device has a provision to operate from power supplied by a built in battery or from an external AC adapter. The programming device is presented with a fiber optic cable which, when coupled to a trip unit which is attached to a powered circuit breaker, can pass data to the device display.

  • Patent number: 5337205
    Abstract: For use in a trip unit, a switched current shunting arrangement in a circuit interruption tripping system couples the current transformers to a relatively low voltage and it accumulates a high level of energy quickly at power-up so that the tripping solenoid can promptly be energized after the detection of a spurious fault condition. The arrangement regulates supply current from the current transformers to a trip voltage capacitor and to a supply capacitor at the input of a voltage regulation circuit. The current transformer charges the trip voltage capacitor to a first prescribed voltage level, and a current shunting circuit shunts current passing from the current transformer to the supply capacitor, such that during normal operation the supply capacitor is charged to a second prescribed voltage level, which is less than the first prescribed voltage level.
