  • Patent number: 10498130
    Abstract: Method(s) for limiting current in an electrical circuit having transmission wires for power transmission include determining whether an unexpected operating condition exists along the transmission wires and limiting the current to prevent (damage caused by) the unexpected operating condition. The method may further include disabling the electrical circuit if the unexpected operating condition persists. Additionally, a system includes a power source, a solid state power controller (SSPC) configured to operate in a first conducting state and a second non-conducing state, and a controller.

  • Patent number: 9705216
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to providing electrical connectivity to electric-powered components mounted in parallel on a wiring board. An electrical apparatus is provided in which electricity is conducted from an electrically conductive member onto first and second electrically conductive pathways, of a wiring board through the use of first and second resiliently-deformable electrically conductive connectors. First and second electric-powered components are mounted to the respective first and second electrically conductive pathways. The first and second resiliently-deformable electrically conductive connectors are compressed between the electrically conductive member and the wiring board such that the first connector provides an electrical connection between the conductive member and the first electrically conductive pathway, and the second connector provides an electrical connection between the conductive member and the second electrically conductive pathway.

  • Publication number: 20170006785
    Abstract: The bush and shrub protective cover is a structure that is adapted to protect landscaping against physical injury from harsh weather conditions including, but not limited to snow, ice, heavy rain, hail, and high winds. The bush and shrub protective cover comprises a plurality of legs, a top cap, and a plurality of sides. The plurality of legs form the base upon which the bush and shrub protective cover is built. The plurality of legs support the top cap and the plurality of sides. The top cap has holes that allow water to flow through the top cap to the protected plants. The top cap is also formed with grooves to route excess water away from the protected plants. Each of the plurality of sides is formed with a plurality of wind flaps to control air flow through the bush and shrub protective cover.

  • Publication number: 20060091846
    Abstract: An electrical machine is controlled without using a physical rotor position detector. Rotor position is estimated by an algorithm which receives feedback from a parameter which represents the behavior of a phase of the machine. Before the algorithm estimates position, it checks the value of the parameter to ensure that the phase is healthy. In the event of the parameter indicating that the phase is faulty, the algorithm does not attempt to estimate position from that phase, thereby avoiding the generation of faulty position data. Operation of the machine may be continued using only the healthy phases.
