  • Publication number: 20260178628
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for answering human queries received by a user includes receiving by a document processing module, a document from a document source; identifying by a document chunking engine of the document processing module, a first set of chapter headers contained in a table of contents of the document; identifying by the document chunking engine, a second set of chapter headers in a body of the document that is separate from the table of contents; matching by the document chunking engine one or more chapter headers of the first set of chapter headers with one or more chapter headers of the second set of chapter headers to provide a third set of matched chapter headers; dividing the document into a plurality of chunks based on the third set of matched chapter headers; and storing the plurality of chunks of the document in a datastore.

  • Patent number: 12334722
    Abstract: A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) can include a current transformer (CT) comprising a single core, a first winding wound around the single core, and a second winding wound around the single core. The GFCI can include a ground fault (GF) detection module operatively connected to the first winding to receive signals from the first winding and configured to determine whether a line-to-ground fault exists. The GFCI can also include a GN stimulus operatively connected to the second winding to provide a GN stimulus signal to the second winding. The GFCI can also include a grounded neutral (GN) detection module operatively connected to second winding and configured to receive signals from the second winding to determine whether a neutral-to-ground fault exists.

  • Patent number: 12273129
    Abstract: Methods/systems employ randomly jittered under-sampling to reduce a sampling rate required to estimate the amplitude of high-frequency signals in circuit breakers, power meters, and other digital signal processing applications. The methods/systems can greatly reduce the nominal sampling rate for applications where RMS, peak and mean estimates of the signal are desired for both the entire band-limited signal and separate estimates for each frequency component. This can in turn result in large cost savings, as less complex and thus less expensive controllers and related components may be used to perform the sampling. As well, the methods/systems herein can provide reasonably accurate waveform estimates that allow additional cost savings in bill of materials (BOM) and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) footprint and real-estate by eliminating the need for certain analog components, such as signal conditioning components.

  • Patent number: 12113553
    Abstract: Methods/systems employ randomly jittered under-sampling to reduce a sampling rate required to convert an analog signal to a digital signal in electronic devices and other applications that perform digital signal processing on the signal. The methods/systems can greatly reduce the nominal sampling rate for such applications where RMS, peak and mean estimates of the signal are desired for both the entire band-limited signal and separate estimates for each frequency component. This can in turn result in large cost savings, as less complex and thus less expensive controllers and related components may be used to perform the sampling.
