Abstract: An accumulator battery system includes series-connected accumulators with potentials across stages powering corresponding controllers that measure potential differences between terminals of accumulators. A first analog-to-digital converter encodes the potential measured between terminals of an accumulator. A first output delivers a first digital sequence corresponding to the encoded potential difference, logic levels of which are defined by at least two potentials across the first-stage accumulator terminals. A decoder decodes a potential measured by the first control-device from the first digital sequence. A second analog-to-digital converter selectively encodes a potential difference measured between terminals of a second-stage accumulator of the second stage and two potentials of the digital sequence received on the input.

Abstract: An electrical power supply system has electrical energy storage modules and an interconnection interface. Each module includes connection terminals of opposite polarities and an energy storage element connected between them. The interface includes pairs of input terminals and output terminals for a load's power supply. Each pair of input terminals connects removably to connection terminals of a respective storage module. The interface forms parallel branches between the two output terminals. Each includes a storage element. Each branch includes a rheostat in series with a corresponding storage element of the branch. The interface includes a device for measuring current passing through each of the branches, and a control circuit for controlling resistances of the rheostats of the branches as a function of the measured current so as to maintain a current intensity passing through the rheostats to be below a threshold.

Abstract: A pair of beltless trousers or slacks with a novel means of support, which permit the trousers or slacks to present a distinct and attractive appearance. A pair of trousers in accordance with the present invention relies upon neither belts, elastic or foam elastomer bands nor suspenders for support. Instead, the inner flap of the fly of the trousers or slacks is formed into a large, wide inner tab, tapering from a longer vertical side to a shorter vertical side. The shorter vertical side is detachably connected to the stiffening elements and the curtain liner on the inner wall of the left pocket, that is, the side of the waistband corresponding to the outer flap of the fly. This construction permits utilization of pockets which are connected solely to the curtain liner and stiffening elements, and which open to the top.

Abstract: A one-piece plastic pin fastener is utilized to secure the assembled position of a plate-like member, such as an electronic circuit board in an electrical receptacle equipped to provide ground fault protection. The headed pin fastener, having a T-shaped shank consisting of a flexible cross-beam and a transverse loading beam, is press-fitted in an undersized bore. The fastener securely holds the circuit board in place, and yet can be removed for servicing and replacement of the electronics.

Abstract: An electronic module for use in ground fault circuit interrupting devices comprises an improved shell design structurally adapted for ease of assembly therein of the electronics and magnetics. The electronics, carried on a printed circuit board, is positionally mounted and retained in one shell compartment by integrally formed latching means. The magnetics are positionally mounted in other shell compartments and locked in place by the insertion therethrough of single-turn transformer winding elements. Potting of the electronics and magnetics thus becomes unnecessary.
