Abstract: Circuit interrupters such as breakers with a metal arc chute having a base and sidewalls extending outward from the base forming an open cavity, a movable arm holding a movable contact adjacent to the arc chute, a line conductor electrically connected to a stationary contact residing adjacent to the arc chute facing the movable contact and a three-dimensional molded arc quenching insert attached to the metal arc chute, and residing in the cavity of the metal arc chute between the stationary and movable contacts. The insert has an arc quenching material that optionally releases a gas such as hydrogen during an arcing event.

Abstract: A method and node for power efficient allocation of enhanced physical downlink control channel resources are disclosed. According one aspect, a method at a network node of allocating an enhanced control channel to a first wireless device is provided. The method includes determining a control channel subframe pattern for the first wireless device. The subframe pattern for the first wireless device includes at least an indication of a pattern of subframes during which the first wireless device is to monitor the enhanced control channel for downlink control information. The subframe pattern is based at least in part on enhanced control channel subframe utilization of other wireless devices. The method also includes transmitting the control channel subframe pattern to the first wireless device, and transmitting the downlink control channel information to the first wireless device over the enhanced control channel according to the enhanced control channel subframe pattern.

Abstract: A method and network node for determining radio resources for allocation to a downlink control channel in a communication network are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method includes receiving, over a predetermined measurement period, a plurality of reports from a wireless device, each report being indicative of a channel quality within at least a subband of an available bandwidth of the communication network. The method further includes for each subband for which at least one report has been received, determining a variance of the channel quality and an average of the channel quality over the predetermined measurement period. The method further includes determining subbands having at least a variance of the channel quality less than a first threshold.

Abstract: A contact assembly is for an electrical switching apparatus. The electrical switching apparatus includes a housing, a cradle member disposed in the housing, an operating handle extending into the housing, and an operating mechanism coupled to the cradle member. The contact assembly includes: a stationary contact structured to be disposed in the housing; a movable arm including a movable contact structured to engage the stationary contact, the movable arm being structured move between a CLOSED position and an EXTENDED OPEN position; and an extension apparatus structured to be disposed on the housing. When the movable arm is in the EXTENDED OPEN position, the extension apparatus maintains the movable arm in the EXTENDED OPEN position.

Abstract: Circuit breakers with handles have common trip cams with an integrated spring and trip cam base. The integrated spring directly contacts the armature in lieu of having the trip cam base formed to do so thereby allowing the use of alternative trip cam base configurations and materials from conventional relatively expensive materials.
