Abstract: Described herein are methods of treating epilepsy or status epilepticus, e.g., convulsive status epilepticus, e.g., early status epilepticus, established status epilepticus, refractory status epilepticus, super-refractory status epilepticus, e.g., super-refractory generalized status epilepticus; non-convulsive status epilepticus, e.g., generalized status epilepticus, complex partial status epilepticus; generalized periodic epileptiform discharges; periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges; a seizure, e.g., acute repetitive seizures, cluster seizures, the method comprising administering to the subject a neuroactive steroid.

Abstract: A power controller comprises a manually-on circuit breaker having an electrically-actuatable trip coil which enables the circuit breaker to be tripped-off electrically. The circuit breaker is connected to a voltage source and provides operating voltage to a power outlet. A line voltage monitor provides a voltage indication to a logic control circuit when operating voltage moves outside a predetermined range established by setting upper and lower operating voltage limits. In response to receiving such a voltage indication, the logic control circuit deenergizes a relay, thereby connecting a charged capacitor to the tripping coil of the circuit breaker to cause the breaker to be tripped-off even when the voltage to the circuit breaker drops to zero volts. Other signals provided to the control logic circuit also cause the deenergizing of the relay controlling the circuit breaker tripping capacitor.
