  • Patent number: 10733901
    Abstract: In example embodiments, there is provided a dynamic dispatcher simulator for an electrical power system. The dynamic dispatcher simulator can be operable to receive an input from a user identity during a run time, wherein the input represents a disturbance event indicative of a simulated disturbance to an electrical power system. Based on the input, a signal can be transmitted to a transient simulation engine component. The transient simulation engine component can output simulated phasor measurement unit data representative of the disturbance event to a wide area monitoring system that facilitates a display of alarms in response to the receipt of the simulated phasor measurement unit data. The dynamic dispatcher training simulator can also receive another input from the user during the run time, the second input being representative of a simulated condition related to the electrical power system.

  • Patent number: 10281957
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an enclosure and an interior component. A flexible bar protects the interior component from mechanical shock. The flexible bar includes at least one component support portion configured to contact the interior component, and at least one enclosure support portion configured to contact the enclosure. According to one aspect, a first shape protrudes from a first surface of the flexible bar and is configured to receive force applied by the enclosure in a first dimension, and a second shape protrudes from a second surface of the flexible bar and is configured to receive force applied by the enclosure in a second dimension. According to another aspect, a first shape protrudes from a first surface of the flexible bar and is configured to receive force applied by the enclosure and elastically deform before a remaining portion of the flexible bar outside the first shape elastically deforms.

  • Publication number: 20090109352
    Abstract: A display screen mount apparatus. The apparatus includes a mounting frame positioned adjacent a vehicle ceiling. The mounting frame includes an attachment interface applying the weight of the apparatus to an external vehicle roof surface. A slide assembly includes a stationary end coupled to the mounting frame and an extensible member that is horizontally extensible from the mounting frame. A vertical support frame for supporting a display screen is pivotally coupled to the extensible member such that the support frame may be angularly rotated between a horizontal storage position and a vertical display position. A housing coupled to the support frame provides a housing recess for receiving the screen. The apparatus further includes an L-shaped fulcrum lever having a user-actuated arm and a spring-actuated arm. The user-actuated arm is coupled in parallel with the support frame. A pneumatic spring is coupled between and applies an expansive force between the slide assembly and the spring-actuated arm.

  • Patent number: 7412712
    Abstract: Slider devices having a misalignment tolerance may include a slider frame and two or more approximately parallel shafts that are configured to elastically shift within fixed shaft supports. Each shaft is slideably disposed within one or more fixed shaft support, so that the slider frame may extend or retract along an axis approximately parallel to the long axis of the shafts. In some versions, the shafts are elastically mounted to the slider frame. Also described are methods of sliding a slider having misalignment tolerance by moving the slider device to extend or retract a slider frame comprising two or more approximately parallel shafts that are configured to elastically shift within fixed shaft supports.

  • Publication number: 20060188361
    Abstract: Storage systems for use with data storage devices (including cartridges) may include a track connecting a plurality storage libraries and a transporter for transferring a cartridge within and between the storage libraries. The track may comprise a cam pathway, and the transporter may comprise a shuttle for holding a cartridge and a cam follower for following the cam pathway. Thus, as the transporter is moved along the track, the position of the transporter's shuttle may correspond to the position of the cam follower as it follows the cam pathway. Methods of transporting a storage device from a first storage library to a second storage library are also described.

  • Publication number: 20060183585
    Abstract: Methods and systems for integrated belt tensioning devices are provided. One exemplary device includes a pulley, a biasing member, and an indicator. The biasing member (e.g., a spring or the like) is adapted to bias the pulley to a biased position. The indicator is associated with the position of the pulley and varies according to the relative position of the pulley to the biased position. Tension from a belt acting on the pulley displaces the pulley away from the biased position, against the biasing force. The indicator varies according to the relative position of the pulley from the biased position and may thereby be correlated to tension in the belt. The belt tensioning device may be used with automated storage libraries, e.g., a cross-link mechanism or the like.
