Abstract: A controller within a mesh network includes at least a station (STA) associated with the controller. The controller is arranged to: set a plurality of received signal strength intensity (RSSI) thresholds respectively corresponding to a plurality of operating bands of the controller, when an RSSI of the STA crosses one of the plurality of set thresholds, performing a calculation to determine respective scores of all enabled links of the STA, according to the calculation, determining a best number of spatial streams (NSS) configuration of the STA, and sending an action frame to the STA for informing the STA to update its NSS configuration.

Abstract: A power distribution system includes a bus plug having an electrical switch configured to selectively control energization of the bus plug. The bus plug includes an electrical switch having a control knob operable to selectively control energization of the bus plug, and an actuator having an actuator adaptor coupling that couples movement of the actuator to the control knob. The bus plug includes a partition wall separating the internal volume into a line side and a load side. The bus plug includes an external handle coupled to mechanical linkages, and an adaptor bracket fixed to at least one of the mechanical linkages and oriented to interact with the control knob. The bus plug includes an actuator operable to move the mechanical linkages. Methods of controlling energization of a bus plug with a remote application and communication module configured to operate an actuator are also provided.

Abstract: A power distribution system includes a plurality of bus plugs. Each of a respective bus plug of the plurality of bus plugs includes an electrical switch configured to selectively control a corresponding energization of the respective bus plug and an actuator operable to control a corresponding electrical switch. The system includes a remote application having commands defining the energization of at least one of the plurality of bus plugs. The system further includes a communication module configured to communicate the commands from the remote application to the at least one of the plurality of bus plugs. The commands cause the corresponding actuator to control the corresponding electrical switch. Methods of controlling energization of a bus plug with a remote application and communication module configured to operate an actuator are also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus includes: a plurality of separable load break devices, each separable load break device including: a resettable current interruption device associated with operating states, the operating states including at least a first operating state that prevents current flow in the resettable current interruption device and a second operating state that allows current flow in the resettable current interruption device; a switch control configured to control the operating state of the resettable current interruption device; a connection interface configured to mechanically connect the load break device to a separate electrical device and to electrically connect the resettable current interruption device to the separate electrical device; and an electrical interface configured to electrically connect the resettable current interruption device to a load. The apparatus also includes a control system configured to provide electrically ganged operation of the plurality of load break devices.

Abstract: A device and a method of a centralized BSS (basic service set) assignment mechanism in a mesh network are provided. The device includes at least one antenna and a processor. The processor is configured to establish a wireless connection with at least one agent device through the at least one antenna. The device forms a mesh network with the agent device. The processor controls the assignment of BSS (basic service set) colors to the device and the agent device in the mesh network.

Abstract: A faulted circuit indicator includes: a power source; a sensor system configured to measure a voltage at the power source and a temperature at the power source; a controller coupled to the sensor system. The controller is configured to determine a health status of the power source based on the measured voltage at the power source and the measured temperature at the power source. The faulted circuit indicator also includes an indicator module coupled to the controller. The indicator is configured to provide an indication of the health status of the power source.
