  • Patent number: 10596405
    Abstract: A device for the therapeutic treatment and/or training of the lower extremities of a human having driven and controlled movement devices, which are connected to a stationary frame and include holding members for fastening of one extremity. The holding members can be moved independently of one another along walking trajectories. The movement devices each include a pivot arm pivotable into different elevations, and the pivot arm is rotatably connected to one single sled on a linear track. A first rotational drive is attached to a single sled and is connected to the pivot arm for changing the elevation of the respective holding member. The pivot arm includes a second rotational drive for changing the inclination of the respective holding member and the sled is connected to a linear drive for changing the longitudinal position of the respective holding member.

  • Patent number: 10511238
    Abstract: A method of performing temperature-based diagnostics for motor starters within a physical grouping of motor starters is performed by determining a presently expected temperature operating range for each starter based on measuring operating temperatures of the starters; measuring their current draws, and evaluating the temperature and load draw data in light of compensation values assigned for the known power ratings of the starter and the starter's physical location within the grouping. With the presently expected temperature operating range of the starter determined, and the periodic monitoring of starter temperatures, when an individual starter's temperature exceeds its expected range, a diagnostic warning will be issued for that starter and/or for the control panel itself as a guide for preventative maintenance. Alternately, the warning may be issued for an unexpected temperature rise for a given rise in current draw, or for values exceeding an expected rate of temperature change.

  • Publication number: 20180299831
    Abstract: A crown assembly for an electronic device. The crown assembly includes a crown, coupled to a rotatable stem assembly, and a sleeve assembly coupled to the crown and the rotatable stem assembly, wherein the sleeve assembly causes the rotatable stem assembly to be axial displaceable in a first axial direction from the “run” stem position to a “setting” stem position and causes electrical contact between two contacts upon a pushing of the crown in a second axial direction to a “pushed” crown position, while the rotatable stem assembly is not axial displaceable in the second axial direction passed its normal “run” stem position.

  • Patent number: 9391441
    Abstract: Nuisance tripping is reduced in a power protection and distribution system including an upstream circuit breaker, a power distribution bus, and one or more downstream circuit breakers. A signal indicative of a current or pending downstream circuit breaker tripping action, such as a Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) signal, normally used to delay tripping of the upstream breaker, is used to suppress an optical flash detection system from tripping the upstream breaker in response to an optical flash resulting from the tripping of the downstream breaker. In this way, nuisance tripping of the upstream breaker is avoided when the downstream breaker trips (and the ZSI function is preserved).

  • Patent number: 9373980
    Abstract: In a power protection and distribution assembly a trip system monitors electrical current and sends a current status signal to an arc flash protection system indicating whether current characteristic of an arc event is detected. The arc flash protection system evaluates this current status signal along with a light status signal indicating whether light characteristic of an arc event has been detected. Based on this evaluation, the arc flash protection system sends a control signal to the trip system for controlling the trip system to trip a breaker. The systems each include a full-duplex signaling module for sending the signals between the systems over a pair of conductors. Each signaling module sends one of the signals by modulating the magnitude of a current through or a voltage across the conductors, and receives the other signal by demodulating the magnitude of the current through or the voltage across the conductors, as distinctively modulated by the other signaling module.

  • Publication number: 20160075246
    Abstract: Dynamic adjustment of a charge rate of an EVSE on a shared branch circuit, ensuring maximum power delivery to the EVSE without overloading the branch circuit. The Level 1 EVSE and at least one other load are connected to the branch circuit via different electrical outlets. A current monitoring circuit continuously monitors the total current flowing through the branch circuit, and a communications link is established between the monitoring circuit and the EVSE. When the monitored current on the branch circuit is about to exceed a set point corresponding to a rated current capacity of the branch circuit, the charge rate is reduced to maximize power delivery to the EVSE without overloading the branch circuit. The charge rate is increased when more current is available to be drawn from the branch circuit to ensure continuous and uninterrupted delivery of maximum power to the EVSE without exceeding the rated current capacity.

  • Patent number: 9149407
    Abstract: A device for therapeutically treating and/or training the lower extremities of a person, having driven controllable motion devices connected to a stationary frame and retaining means for attaching to each extremity, that can be displaced independently along walking trajectories. Motion devices provide an outrigger pivotable to various height levels, jointedly connected at a first carriage of a linear guide on one side, and rotationally connected to a retaining means on the other side. A second carriage of the linear guide is disposed ahead of the first carriage and jointedly connected to the outrigger by means of a connecting element. The first carriage has a first linear drive for changing the longitudinal position of each retaining means, the second carriage providing a second linear drive for changing the height level of each retaining means. The outrigger provides a rotary drive for changing the slope of each retaining means.
