  • System and methods for ensuring proper use of personal protective equipment for work site hazards
    Patent number: 8384548
    Abstract: Electronic monitoring systems and methods for detecting and verifying the adequacy of personal protective equipment needed by a person to complete a potentially hazardous task. Items providing different predetermined levels of protection may be identified and evaluated in light of specific risk potentials posed at specific locations, such as different portions of energized electrical circuitry presenting different arc flash hazard risks. Individuals may also be identified and determined to be authorized or unauthorized to perform a potentially hazardous task at a specific location. Confirmation features, alarm features, and event logs may be provided, and the monitoring systems and methods may be integrated with circuit protector monitoring systems and functionality.

  • Methods, systems and user interface for evaluating product designs in light of promulgated standards
    Patent number: 8095908
    Abstract: Interactive, computer implemented systems and methods for analyzing issues raised by promulgated industry standards for complex electrical product and system design. Data and information related to the electrical system and to the promulgated standards of interest are archived in the system databases, and with an intuitive menu driven user interface and graphic displays, interested users may rather quickly evaluate complex product designs for certification with desired promulgated standards applicable to the product and system design.
