  • Patent number: 12230953
    Abstract: In aspects of the present disclosure, a circuit interrupter includes a housing, a conductive path, a switch which selectively interrupts the conductive path, sensor(s), memory, and a controller within the housing. The sensor(s) measure electrical characteristic(s) of the conductive path. The memory stores an arc detection program that implements a machine learning model and includes a field-updatable program portion and a non-field-updatable program portion, where the field-updatable program portion includes program parameters used by the non-field-updatable program portion to decide between presence or absence of an arc fault. The controller executes the arc detection program to compute input data for the machine learning model based on the sensor measurements, decide between presence of an arc event or absence of an arc event based on the input data, and cause the switch to interrupt the conductive path when the decision indicates presence of an arc event.

  • Patent number: 12227854
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for formation of refractory carbide, nitride, and boride coatings without use of a binding agent. The present invention is directed to methods of creating refractory coatings with controlled porosity. Refractory coatings can be formed from refractory metal, metal oxide, or metal/metal oxide composite refractory coating precursor of the 9 refractory metals encompassed by groups 4-6 and periods 4-6 of the periodic table; non-metallic elements (e.g. Si & B) and their oxides (i.e. SiO2 & B2O3) are also pertinent. The conversion of the refractory coating precursor to refractory carbide, nitride or boride is achieved via carburization, nitridization, or boridization in the presence of carbon-containing (e.g. CH4), nitrogen containing (e.g. NH3), and boron-containing (e.g. B2H6) gaseous species. Any known technique of applying the refractory coating precursor can be used.

  • Publication number: 20250051351
    Abstract: A manufacturing process to a bis-mesylate salt 1b of the pan-RAF inhibitor 4-amino-n-(1-((3-chloro-2-fluorophenyl)amino)-6-methylisoquinolin-5-yl) thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxamide. The process features a number of efficient key reactions, including a robust and scalable Pd-catalyzed carbonylation reaction to generate thienopyrimidine 2and a highly chemoselective Pt/V/C-catalyzed nitro group reduction to access penultimate intermediate 7. The final amide coupling of 7 and 2 was accomplished by a mild and safe protocol employing N,N,N?,N?-tetramethylchloroformamidinium hexafluorophosphate (TCFH) as the coupling reagent, to produce a 1:1 adduct of the freebase and THF. The adduct afforded compound 1b with excellent yield, purity, and form stability on a multikilogram production scale after reaction with MsOH and recrystallization. The methods are able to produce a compound having upwards of 95% purity.
