  • Publication number: 20240019299
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a UV radiometer is provided. The UV radiometer includes a sensor assembly and a sensor controller. The sensor assembly includes a UV sensor element and a temperature sensing component configured to perform a thermal adjustment of a sensed UV input from the UV sensor element to produce a compensated UV signal. The sensor controller includes a signal conditioning circuit configured to receive the compensated UV signal from the sensor assembly and produce a conditioned and compensated UV signal. The sensor controller also includes a communication interface configured to transmit the conditioned and compensated UV signal to a UV process controller.

  • Patent number: 10546676
    Abstract: An improved solenoid having an enhanced magnetic field and failsafe operation is provided, wherein a primary winding and a secondary winding are constructed such that the combined force imparted on a plunger by both windings energized together is greater than the sum of the forces imparted by the primary and secondary windings energized separately, resulting in a smaller solenoid capable of providing a predetermined force, and providing a solenoid capable of tripping a circuit interrupting latch even if one of the windings is broken.

  • Patent number: 10290455
    Abstract: A self-testing circuit interrupting device including Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter protection, the circuit interrupting device usable with single phase power where a test pulse is injected into a falling edge of the electrical signal at a point greater than 54.2% of the maximum amplitude of the electrical signal. The circuit interrupting device usable with dual phase power where the test pulse is injected into a falling edge of the electrical signal at 0.879 ms from a minimum amplitude of the electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 10236678
    Abstract: A GFCI includes a latch assembly provided with a rigid electrically conducting bar connected thereto such that when a user presses a reset button the latch assembly is moved toward a pair of contacts provided as part of a reset circuit to initiate a reset operation. When the electrically conducting bar on the latch assembly connects the pair of contacts, the reset circuit is closed and an actuator is activated to place the GFCI device in the latched, reset, condition. If the GFCI device is correctly wired, the latch assembly enters the latched state. If the device is not properly wired no power is provided to the actuator and the device remains in the tripped, or open, state.
