Abstract: An integrated inspection system including at least one surface defining an enclosed space, at least one camera mounted in the enclosed space, and an interrogator device operatively coupled to the at least one camera. The interrogator device provides power to and receives images from the camera.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to capturing data associated with an occurrence of an event via a battery-powered recorder, comprising: storing analog data in a delay circuit while a recording circuit is powered off, detecting, by a trigger circuit, the occurrence of the event while the recording circuit is powered off, powering-on the recording circuit based on the detection of the event, converting samples of analog data associated with the event provided by the delay circuit to a digital format while the recording circuit powers on, and storing the converted digital samples after the recording circuit has powered on, wherein a time delay associated with the delay circuit is greater than a time it takes for the recording circuit to power-on.

The plurality of wires includes a first wire, the first device generates a data signal and provides an electrical power signal, and the data signal and the electrical power signal are simultaneously transmitted between the first device and the second device over the first wire.

Abstract: An electrical power conditioning apparatus in accordance with the present invention generally includes an electrical input for receiving power from the power source, a surge suppression circuit and a plurality of electrical outlets. A plurality of parallel channels connect the input to at least one of the plurality of outlets. At least one of the plurality of channels includes a filter circuit and a current sensor circuit for measuring the current through the channel. One or more displays are electrically connected to the current measuring to a visual indication of voltage and current measurements.

Abstract: Improvements to surge suppressors and other electronic devices with thermal cutoffs to reduce the risk of burning through the outer enclosure in the event electrical components such as current diverters or MOVs over heat. Improvements include barriers in between electrical components to prevent electrical contact between the components in the event of overheating of at least one component. Barriers or layers may be positioned between or around wires, conductors, thermal cutoffs, current diverters, or a combination thereof. Barriers may be fire-resistant, electrically insulating, or both, and may be made of fiberglass. Certain embodiments include revised layouts or orientations of components so that neighboring components or surfaces are at a closer electrical potential or so that exteriors of thermal cutoffs are on the protected side of the thermal cutoffs. Redundant thermal cutoffs or thermal cutoffs with non-metal or non-conducting bodies may be used and may be sandwiched between current diverters.
