Publication number: 20250119288Abstract: In various examples, a technique for verifying data integrity is disclosed that includes receiving a request to access a data block of a plurality of data blocks stored in a non-secure memory. The technique further includes identifying, in a secure memory, an authentication token associated with the data block. The technique also includes generating an updated authentication token based on the data block. The technique further includes determining whether the updated authentication token corresponds to the identified authentication token stored in the secure memory. The technique still further includes in response to determining that the updated authentication token corresponds to the identified authentication token stored in the secure memory, performing one or more operations using the data block.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: Stephen Aaron WOLFE, Mihir JOSHI, Tao YE, Mustafa Yigit BILGEN, Hyung Taek RYOO, Arun GONA, Santosh KATVATE

Publication number: 20240297002Abstract: An electrical device such as, for example, a battery-powered electrical switch is disclosed. The battery-powered wireless switch includes one or more mechanisms arranged and configured to provide simplified access for servicing (e.g., replacing) the batteries located within the wireless switch. In one embodiment, the wireless switch is arranged and configured so that the batteries may be accessed by reconfiguring the wireless switch from a first closed position to a second opened position to access the batteries. Thus arranged, removal of the wireless switch from a wall-box or a surface of a wall is not required, the user may only need to remove the wall-plate in order to reconfigure the wireless switch. In one embodiment, at least a portion of the wireless switch is pivoted from the first position to the second position to provide access to the batteries.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2024Publication date: September 5, 2024Applicant: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Ronald J.

Publication number: 20240128040Abstract: A circuit breaker is configured to be remotely caused to enter ON and OFF states. A lever arm is pivotably coupled to a main contact spring. A contact is supported at the distal end portion of the lever arm. Pivoting of the lever arm to bring the contact into contact with another contact on the housing causes the circuit breaker to enter the ON state. Pivoting of the lever arm to separate the contacts causes the circuit breaker to enter the OFF state. A latching solenoid includes a plunger coupled to the lever arm. The latching solenoid moves the plunger between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. When in the extended position, the lever arm is pivoted to separate the contacts to cause the circuit breaker to enter the OFF state.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Nicholas PILATO, Stephen AARON, Michael KAMOR
