  • Patent number: 11177686
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an automatic transfer switch bypass breaker system can include a first plurality of breakers configured to electrically couple a first input power source or a second input power source to common load bus via an automatic transfer switch in a first state and to electrically isolate the automatic transfer switch from the first and second input power sources and the common load bus in a second state, the first plurality of breakers including at least three breakers, and a second plurality of breakers configured to bypass the automatic transfer switch to electrically couple the first input power source or the second input power source to the common load bus in the second state, the second plurality of breakers includes at least two breakers.

  • Patent number: 10224741
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, an automatic transfer switch bypass breaker system can include a switch gear configured with an automatic transfer switch electrically coupled to a first power sources and to a common load bus. The automatic transfer switch bypass breaker system can further include an automatic transfer switch bypass breaker electrically coupled to the first power source and to the common load bus and a utility bypass breaker electrically coupled to the first power source and to the common load bus. The utility bypass breaker can be configured for supplying power from the first power source directly to the common load bus.

  • Patent number: 7951054
    Abstract: A therapeutic and/or exercise apparatus is provided for use in connection with structured, multiaxial, multi-pattern movement that aids in rehabilitation or enhances conditioning. The apparatus generally includes a base and a posture bar that is attached to and extends upwardly from the base. The posture bar is affixed to a top surface of the base and can be removable or collapsible for ease of storage. The top surface of the base also includes a recess therein for receiving one of a variety of controlled motion devices such as a rotary disk that moves freely or is restrained by resistance means or other proprioceptive tools. This feature provides a much more balanced exercise process while also naturally working the entire set of muscle groups related to the exercise rather than simply isolating a single motion or muscle.

  • Publication number: 20100263394
    Abstract: A chiller assembly includes an enclosure having a separator panel provided therein that divides the enclosure into first and second compartments. The separator panel is mounted at an angle relative to the horizontal. A condenser is provided with the first compartment. A heat exchanger is provided with the second compartment. The heat exchanger and the condenser utilize refrigerant flowing therebetween to remove heat from a supply of fluid flowing through the heat exchanger. The enclosure includes a debris opening to provide access to debris collected on the separator panel when one of air and fluid is directed through the condenser in a direction towards the separator panel during a cleaning operation of the condenser.

  • Publication number: 20080099199
    Abstract: A wellbore chemical treating system includes a pressure vessel for containing a treating chemical. The pressure vessel is closed to atmospheric pressure. A first controllably operated valve is disposed in fluid communication between an outlet of the pressure vessel and a well for selectively controlling the flow of the chemical from the pressure vessel to the well. A pressurized gas is disposed in the pressure vessel wherein the pressure exerted by the pressurized gas causes the chemical to flow from the pressure vessel to the well through the first valve when the first valve is opened. A second controllably operated valve is disposed in fluid communication between the well and an outlet of a fluid tank for selectively controlling flow of fluid in the tank to the well. The fluid tank is replenished by fluid produced from the well. The system includes a controller for selectively operating the first valve and the second valve.
