  • Patent number: 9438026
    Abstract: In at least some embodiments, a system includes a plurality of circuit breakers and trip control logic external to and coupled to the circuit breakers. The trip control logic enables a plurality of different tripping options to be selected for each of the circuit breakers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 30, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2016
    Assignee: Unilectric, LLC
    Inventors: Jeffrey L. Franks, Stephen E. Williams, Ray Cole
  • Publication number: 20150207301
    Abstract: A power delivery system includes a breaker panel. The breaker panel includes a plurality of circuit breakers and trip control circuitry coupled to each of the circuit breakers. The trip control logic receives a trip current value entered by a user for a selected one of the circuit breakers and a current measurement value from the selected one of the breakers. The trip control circuitry causes the selected one of the circuit breakers to trip in response to the current measurement value exceeding the trip current value.

  • Patent number: 7188108
    Abstract: Initially, a table in the database is baselined. The baselining function is usually built into the database system program which manages the database itself. This baselining procedure generates storage information like the number of rows in the table, the average length of a row, the number of chained/migrated rows, and the average free space per page in the table. This storage information is transferred to a monitoring routine via a transaction log. The monitoring routine accepts the storage information for the table. Next, the monitoring routine monitors the transaction log for entries which alter the storage information initially passed to it. At some point, an entity may wish to know the current storage information for the table. When this occurs, a message is passed to the monitoring routine, and the monitoring routine transfers the storage information to the requesting entity, without accessing the database.
