Patent number: 7854058Abstract: Methods for making and using vacuum switching devices are disclosed. A vacuum switching device has an operating rod for actuating a movable electrical contact within the device. The operating rod may be a hollow epoxy glass tube with an electrical sensor disposed within it, and there may be an elastomeric polymer filling compound disposed within the tube and encasing the sensor. The operating rod may be attached to the movable electrical contact on one end by a steel end-fitting that has been press-fit into the tube and secured with at least one cross pin. In this way, a very secure electromechanical connection may be made between the operating rod and the rest of the vacuum switching device, and the sensor is protected from shock associated with the operation of the device. Moreover, the vacuum switching device is compact and easy to construct.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2008Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: Daniel Schreiber, Veselin Skendzic, E.

Patent number: 6529013Abstract: Active crosstalk cancellation in a multi-phase system is achieved using a capacitive voltage divider for each phase in the multi-phase system. A voltage measurement is obtained for the desired phase and each additional phase of the multi-phase system. A product is generated for each additional phase by multiplying each additional phase voltage measurement by a corresponding predetermined constant. The product for each additional phase is subtracted from the voltage measurement of the desired phase.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2001Date of Patent: March 4, 2003Assignee: McGraw-Edison CompanyInventors: Veselin Skendzic, E.
