Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for monitoring and diagnosing power system assets. An example of a power system asset may include an individual circuit breaker, a switchgear that may include multiple circuit breakers, or any other asset that may be included in a power system. A system for monitoring and diagnosing these power system assets may include one or more intelligent protection relay and switchgear monitor device(s) that may be communicatively coupled in a master-slave or peer-peer configuration in a time-synchronized manner of operation.

Abstract: An intelligent electronic device (IED) configured to supervise a process having a state has at least one of a current, voltage or resistive input configured to monitor the state of the process, a binary status input configured to monitor the state of the process, a binary status input configured to receive a digitally encoded serial communication package for monitoring the state of the process, a control output configured to output a signal to control process protection, control, or automation, or a combination thereof, or a control output configured to output a digitally encoded serial communication package to control protection, control, or automation, or a combination thereof. The IED is also configured to facilitate digital communication between at least two compatible devices by directing communication packets from ports connected to an originating compatible device to ports connected to a destination compatible device.

Abstract: Time-resolved analysis of a spectrum is performed by illuminating a one-dimensional array of charge-transfer device light-sensitive pixel cells and periodically non-destructively copying charges in the light-sensitive cells to respective storage cells (“row storage registers”) co-located with the light-sensitive cells in an integrated circuit. Information about the charges stored in at least some of the storage cells is provided to a component external to the integrated circuit.
