  • Patent number: 11043810
    Abstract: A method for managing power quality events in an electrical system includes processing electrical measurement data from or derived from energy-related signals captured by at least one intelligent electronic device (IED) to identify at least one power quality event associated with one or more loads monitored by the at least one IED. The method also includes determining at least one means for mitigating or eliminating an impact (and/or reducing a recovery time) of the at least one identified power quality event on the electrical system based, at least in part, on an evaluation of a dynamic tolerance curve associated with one or more loads in the electrical system. The method further includes applying one or more of the at least one means for mitigating or eliminating the impact (and/or reducing the recovery time) to selected portions or zones of the electrical system.

  • Publication number: 20170332998
    Abstract: A system for imaging and treating tissue comprises a probe having a deflectable distal tip for carrying an imaging array and a delivery needle for advancement within a field of view of the imaging array. Optionally, the needle will carry a plurality of tines which may be selectively radially deployed from the needle. The imaging array will preferably be provided in a separate, removable component.
