  • Patent number: 9514628
    Abstract: A computer implemented method performed by a composite electrical load monitoring system includes determining, at a first time instant during a duration, a first margin between a first reading of a first electrical parameter and a first electrical parameter limit for a first power source, and determining, at the first time instant during the duration, a second margin between a second reading of a second electrical parameter and a second electrical parameter limit for a second power source. The method further includes determining, after the first time instant, that the first margin is less than the second margin in response to determining the first margin and the second margin, and displaying, in a display device and within the duration, an identifier for the first power source in response to determining that the first margin is less than the second margin.

  • Publication number: 20070249778
    Abstract: A cost effective, two component, high-solids elastomeric coating. The coating is comprised of a chemically cross-linked resin for the purpose of substrate corrosion control, and chemical containment service. This invention may be applied by conventional application techniques including, but not limited to: brush applied, squeegee applied, roller applied, trowel applied, and both single and plural component spray applied. The coating may be optionally reinforced with fabric or fiber reinforcement layers, and the system components of the elastomeric coating to provide an engineered composite coating. The coating imparts excellent adhesive properties, in particular to: oil-contaminated substrates, a variety of low surface energy substrates, and on a variety of electronegative substrates. The invention's specific chemical resistive properties are designed such: for exposure to boiling water, resistance to brines, and resistance to a broad spectrum of solid and aqueous acids and caustics.
