Abstract: A dual conductor Thomson coil actuator for use in opening the separable contacts of a circuit interrupter comprises two nested conductors wound to form a single coil, rather than the traditional design comprising one single conductor wound to form a coil of the same size. Each of the two conductors can be excited by half the capacitance that would be used to excite the traditional single conductor coil, using the same voltage as the single conductor coil. When the same total capacitor-stored energy that would be used to excite the single conductor coil is instead used to excite the dual conductor coil, the initial pulse of aggregate current through the dual conductor coil is greater than the initial pulse of current through the single conductor coil, resulting in a faster initial opening distance of the separable contacts during an opening stroke.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide for pressure relief valve detection and monitoring. A valve assembly includes a valve body, having an inlet and an outlet, and a valve seat insert attached to the valve body between the inlet and the outlet. The valve body also includes an indicator assembly, a disk positioned within the valve seat insert; and a stem extending between the disk and the indicator assembly. The stem includes a magnet. A magnetic sensor is operable to identify proximity of the magnet. The valve seat insert is operable to release the disk when pressure at the inlet exceeds a threshold value. The disk, when released, moves the stem and magnet into a position that is detected by the magnetic sensor, and the indicator assembly indicates a valve opening event when the position is detected.

Abstract: A data storage management system comprises features for initiating failover orchestration jobs that invoke recovery resources on demand in a cloud computing environment. Backed up data that is stored persistently in the cloud computing environment may be rapidly restored within the cloud computing environment for use in disaster recovery and/or in test and verification scenarios. This approach may be contrasted to systems where a failover system is “always on” at the failover destination, such as having failover resources always up and running in the cloud computing environment. Such resources typically include a failover virtual machine (VM), a virtual machine datastore for the restored data, and one or more computing resources for restoring an auxiliary copy to the VM's datastore. The cloud-based failover resources are deactivated or taken down once the failover event ends.

Abstract: Aspects relate to link speed for a peripheral component interconnect. In one aspect, an apparatus includes an interface circuit configured to provide an interface with a multiple lane data link, the data link having a first set of lanes in an active state and a second set of lanes in an idle state and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a request at the controller to change a data rate of the data link to a requested data rate, change the second set of lanes from an idle state to an active state, train the second set of lanes to the requested data rate, transfer data traffic from the first set of lanes to the second set of lanes after the training, and transmit the data traffic on the second set of lanes.

Abstract: A new peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) link state can enhance power saving capabilities of a PCIe link operating in a flow control unit (FLIT) mode. A device can operate a data link with a host in a FLIT mode using fixed-sized packets, the data link being in a partial width link state (PLS) in which a first set of lanes of the data link are in an electrical idle state and a second set of lanes of the data link are in an active state available for data traffic with the host. The device can transition one or more lines of the second set of lanes from the PLS to a partial width standby link state (PSLS) in which the one or more lines of the second set of lanes are in a standby state that has lower power consumption than the active state.

Abstract: Systems that determine relationships between network components of a cluster using packet filters are disclosed. A system can identify objects that implement services of a cluster and network connections associated with respective pairs of the objects. The system can also filter out network connections from the identified network connections. The filtering can remove connections between source objects and destination objects based on the destination objects lacking any components that implement a service in cluster. The filtering can also retain network connections between source objects and destination objects based on the source objects including components that each implement at least one service, and based on the second destination object including components that each implement at least one service. Additionally, the system can generate relationship maps and network topologies using the determined relationships.

Abstract: An assembly for manufacturing the insulation layer of a Thomson coil includes a base plate, a coil housing, and a cover plate. The base plate securely seats the coil housing, and the coil housing securely seats a Thomson coil and the cover plate. The cover plate has several ribs that hold multiple turns of a Thomson coil in place while epoxy is applied to the coil, thus ensuring that the epoxy is evenly distributed on the coil surface and that the coil windings remain level. The cover plate and coil housing are structured to either receive a high-pressure epoxy injection or to be used in an epoxy potting process, during which all exposed areas of the Thomson coil are coated by liquid epoxy. After the epoxy has solidified, the Thomson coil is coupled to the coil housing, and the housed and insulated Thomson coil is removed from the assembly.

Abstract: An acoustic sensing system for detecting movement of an ultra-fast actuator in a hybrid circuit interrupter is disclosed. The system comprises a number of acoustic sensors structured to perform active or passive position sensing. For active sensing, the sensors emit sound waves toward a number of targeted portions of the actuator moving assembly and detect the positions of the targets based on acoustic signals reflected back to the sensors by the targets. For passive sensing, the sensors detect acoustic wavelets generated as a result of the moving assembly components moving during opening and closing operations. Acoustic signals can propagate through air or solids and thus the sensors can be mounted in a variety of locations within the circuit interrupter. Acoustic sensors are particularly well-suited for the circuit interrupter environment, as they are resilient to the environmental and external factors, such as dust, that can affect the performance of non-acoustic sensors.

The diaphragm may be elastically or permanently deformable. The striker may be connected to a relieve valve disk that releases in response to high fluid pressure at the valve. Movement of the striker may be detected by contact with the diaphragm or by sensors near the diaphragm, which may trigger the indicator assembly to provide an external indication of a valve opening.
