  • Patent number: 11985959
    Abstract: An aquaculture pen includes an annular floatation assembly formed from a plurality of float platforms connected end to end. A weight ring is suspended from the floatation assembly by a first plurality of tension members at a central portion of the float platforms. A net support ring is suspended from the floatation assembly by a second plurality of tension members that are attached to the floatation assembly, for example, outboard of the first plurality of tension members. A mesh enclosure for the pen includes a main portion attached to the net support ring, a jump net portion that extends from the net support ring to engage the inboard side of the floatation assembly, and a top portion that closes an upper end of the mesh enclosure.

  • Patent number: 8292192
    Abstract: The automated humidity control system controls the humidity within a setter hall. The system continuously monitors the existing setter hall thermal conditions and electronically compares the existing conditions to computerized data describing the targeted conditions. The system then takes action to conform the existing condition to the targeted condition.

  • Publication number: 20080048819
    Abstract: Modular fuseholders and systems are provided. Modular fuseholders include a main body having a fuse-receiving receptacle for substantially enclosing a fuse within, a detecting means connected to the fuse, and a signal transmitting means connected to the detecting means. The detecting means is configured to detect an operational state of the fuse, and the signal transmitting means is configured to transmit a wireless signal to a remote device for indicating the an operational state of the fuse. Modular fuseholder systems include a modular fuseholder housing a fuse.

  • Publication number: 20080042794
    Abstract: Fuse state indicators for use with disconnect devices having a fuse are provided. Fuse state indicators include a housing having circuitry, a detecting means for detecting an open circuit condition, conductors adapted for electrical connection to a disconnect device so as to complete a circuit connecting the detecting means with a fuse of the disconnect device, and a signal transmitting means. The detecting means is configured to transmit a signal to the signal transmitting means for determining an operational state of the fuse. The signal transmitting means, in turn, is configured to transmit a signal to a remote device the state of the fuse.

  • Publication number: 20060290461
    Abstract: A fuse state indicator for a fuse including a cylindrical fuse body and a primary fuse element therein, includes an extension member, a transparent lens, a combustible substance adjacent the lens, a secondary fuse link adjacent said combustible substance, and a curved backing layer adjacent said secondary fuse link. Said backing layer is at least partially concealed by said combustible substance when viewed through said transparent lens before the fuse has opened, and said backing layer maintains said secondary fuse link in position with respect to said combustible substance.

  • Publication number: 20060250210
    Abstract: A modular fuse holder for holding a fuse is provided. The fuse includes an insulative body, conductive terminal elements coupled to the body, and a fuse element extending between the terminal elements within the body. The fuse holder includes a main body defining a fuse-receiving receptacle therein, and the receptacle is configured to substantially enclose the fuse within the main body. The main body includes a line side terminal and a load side terminal positioned in the receptacle, and configured to mechanically and electrically engage the terminal elements of the fuse. The main body includes an outer surface and at least one opening extending therethrough. An indicating assembly is mounted to at least one of the fuse body and the main body, and at least a portion of the indicating assembly is exposed through the opening. The indicating assembly provides visual indication of an operative state of the fuse when the fuse is received in the receptacle.
