  • Patent number: 8953288
    Abstract: A protection system for an IT electrical distribution system (EDS) has a floating reference conductor and two electrical conductors in the form of an active conductor and a neutral conductor. System includes two input terminals for electrically connecting to an MEN electrical power source that is upstream of system. Two output terminals are electrically connected to an electrical load in the form of an electrical motor for a compressor of an upright freezer display. A motor protection device, in the form of an MCB, electrically connects terminals to allow a supply of electrical power to a motor. The MCB is responsive to a fault signal at a port for selectively electrically disconnecting at least one of the terminals. A sentinel unit selectively generates the fault signal at port in response to the current in conductor being greater than a predetermined threshold.

System includes two input terminals for electrically connecting to an MEN electrical power source that is upstream of system. Two output terminals are electrically connected to an electrical load in the form of an electrical motor for a compressor of an upright freezer display. Motor is downstream of the system. A protection device, in the form of an MCB, electrically connects terminals to allow a supply of electrical power from source to motor. MCB is responsive to a fault signal at a port for selectively electrically disconnecting at least one of terminals to prevent the supply of electrical power. A sentinel unit selectively generates the fault signal at port in response to the current in conductor being greater than a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20070107394
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are exhaust treatment devices and methods of manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, an exhaust treatment device can comprise: a substrate, a ring disposed about the substrate, and a retention material disposed between the ring and a formed shell. The formed shell can compress the retention material and restrict motion of the ring. The ring can have a portion extending from adjacent the substrate to adjacent the formed shell. In one embodiment, the method for manufacturing an exhaust treatment device can comprise: assembling a ring on a substrate, disposing a retention material in contact with the ring, on a side of the ring opposite the substrate, to form a substrate assembly, and disposing the substrate assembly within a formed shell.

  • Publication number: 20050160719
    Abstract: A variable flow regulator assembly comprises a first stationary exhaust pipe, a second stationary exhaust pipe concentrically disposed within the first stationary exhaust pipe, and a movable exhaust pipe concentrically disposed between the first and second stationary exhaust pipes. The first stationary exhaust pipe includes one or more interference tabs concentrically and circumferentially fitted about its interior surface. The movable exhaust pipe includes one or more interference tabs concentrically and circumferentially fitted about its exterior surface. The interference tabs complimentarily interact and restrict the movement of the variable flow regulator so that the flow maldistribution of the exhaust gas stream entering the catalytic converter can be variably controlled.
