Abstract: A motor control center unit comprising multiple feeders is described. The unit may also contain a common breaker interlock release configured to lock out breakers for all of the feeders. The breakers of the multiple feeders and the breaker interlock release may be accessible and operable through an isolation cover of the motor control center unit.

Abstract: A method and a system for evaluating, determining and customizing third party marketing services, where a listing of reasonable values for a given criteria is generated and referenced when determining the consideration to be paid for the service related to the criteria. The given criteria may include a geographic area, so that the listing of reasonable values is for a number of geographic areas, and the consideration is determined for services to be provided in any one or combination of the geographic areas. Listing of reasonable values may include a listing of baseline fair market value (FMV) basis points that may be applied in determining the fair market value of marketing services provided. The marketing service provided may be based on a custom marketing plan prepared for a specific partner for a specific geographic area with reference to specific marketing media.

Abstract: An optical fiber strain sensor array comprises several sensor support panels spaced in its longitudinal direction and at least one connecting member extending in the longitudinal direction, which mechanically interconnects the sensor support panels. An optical fiber is supported by the sensor support panels and the connecting member. The optical fiber extends with the connecting member between the sensor support panels and forms a curve on the sensor support panel, the curve including at least one portion of the optical fiber that extends in the transverse direction. The width of the connecting member is substantially less than the width of the sensor support panels, such that the connecting member is capable of flexure in the transverse direction. This has the advantage that the connecting member can be flexed to take up any slack during installation of the optical fiber strain sensor array in a wind turbine blade and can be fitted to the turbine blade even if the blade has a conical shape.

Abstract: A deviation from an expected wireless link status between a wireless display device and a local wireless media transmission device is detected via the wireless display device. The local wireless media transmission device is located proximate to the wireless display device. It is determined that an expected wireless signal is not incident upon a first wireless receiver of the wireless display device based upon the detected deviation from the expected wireless link status. A problem is identified that causes the detected deviation from the expected wireless link status. A wireless status indicator is displayed via the display. The wireless status indicator indicates that the expected wireless signal is not incident upon the first wireless receiver and indicates the identified problem that causes the detected deviation from the expected wireless link status. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
