  • Patent number: 11264767
    Abstract: A power pedestal is described. The power pedestal includes a plurality of receptacles that are configured to connect to external devices. The plurality of receptacles includes a first receptacle and a second receptacle of the plurality of receptacles. The first receptacle and the second receptacle are electrically interlocked with one another. The power pedestal includes a first circuit breaker connected to the first receptacle and a second circuit breaker connected to the second receptacle, and a shunt trip circuit that is configured to trip the first circuit breaker to disable power to the first receptacle of the power pedestal, responsive to the second circuit breaker associated with the second receptacle of the power pedestal being in an active state. Related devices and methods are also described.

  • Patent number: 11167655
    Abstract: A connector is for a charging station. The charging station has a charging box having a signaling mechanism. The connector includes an electrical receptacle structured to be electrically connected to the signaling mechanism; a housing coupled to the electrical receptacle; an indicating assembly coupled to the interior of the housing and structured to indicate a charging status state provided by the signaling mechanism; and an interface between the indicating assembly and the signaling mechanism in order to energize the indicating assembly and provide an indication of charging status.

  • Patent number: 10840048
    Abstract: A protection module is for a modular ground fault protective relay. The modular ground fault protective relay includes a power supply module having a connection port. The protection module includes a body having a first side and a second side disposed opposite the first side, a module connector extending outwardly from the first side, the module connector being structured to be removably coupled to the connection port of the power supply module, and a module expansion port extending inwardly from the second side toward the first side.

  • Patent number: 5344767
    Abstract: A method of preparing a high specificity .sup.35 S-sulfide comprises preparing a reducing mixture comprising hydrochloric acid, hydriodic acid and hypophosphorus acid, substantially removing any sulfate present in the mixture, admixing the reducing mixture with a composition comprising an .sup.35 S-sulfate corresponding to a desired .sup.35 S-sulfide to obtain the .sup.35 S-sulfide, and recovering the .sup.35 S-sulfide from the admixture. The thus prepared .sup.35 S-sulfides are applicable to the synthesis of high specificity .sup.35 S amino acids and derivatives thereof by sulfhydrylation, e.g., in the presence of an enzyme and a .sup.35 S-sulfide or sulfhydric acid and the O-acetylated amino acid. The labeled amino acid may be separated from the reaction mixture by reverse phase chromatography.
