Patent number: 6639769Abstract: An arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) device functions to provide protection from potentially dangerous arc faults. The arc fault detector can be used stand alone or in combination with circuit interrupting devices such as IDCIs and ALCIs. The AFCI device detects both AC line frequencies and high frequencies associated with arcing. Both average and instantaneous values of both AC line frequency and high frequency arcing signals are processed to generate an arc fault signal. The trip mechanism of the device trips on the occurrence of either an arc fault or a ground fault. The device allows the arc detector to differentiate between destructive high level arcing and low level arcing such as generated by typical household appliances and equipment. This serves to decrease the occurrence of false tripping.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2002Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Benjamin B. Neiger, Roger M. Bradley, James N. Pearse, William J. Rose, Steve Campolo

Patent number: 6407893Abstract: An arc fault detector comprised as a stand alone unit and in combination with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) functions to provide protection from potentially dangerous arc fault conditions. When combined with a GFCI, the combination arc fault/ground fault circuit interrupter (AFCI/GFCI) provides protection from both arc fault and ground fault conditions. A single transformer is used to detect faults between neutral and ground and arc faults. An impedance splits the current flow into two portions so as to generate differential current proportional to the current flowing through the conductors. An early arcing detector periodically tests the AC line for high impedance between the device and a main breaker panel. The AFCI/GFCI device detects both AC line frequencies and high frequencies associated with arcing. Both average and instantaneous values of both AC line frequency and high frequency arcing signals are processed to generate an arc fault signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2000Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Benjamin B.

Patent number: 6339525Abstract: An arc fault detector, as a stand alone device or in combination with a circuit interrupting device such as a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), protects from potentially dangerous arc fault conditions. The device utilizes line side and load side pickup coils to distinguish between arc faults occurring on the line or load side. An arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) circuitry portion of the device shares components from the GFCI circuitry portion, and utilizes the electromechanical power carrying portion of the GFCI, including AC line disconnect circuitry and a power supply. The AFCI employs quantitative detection using variable gain control in combination with either a load disconnect or audible/visual alarm indication. The device also includes a timer circuit, which permits the user to temporarily inhibit or disable the arc detection, and selective frequency filtering permitting arc detection in the presence of power line carrier communications.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1999Date of Patent: January 15, 2002Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Benjamin B.

Patent number: 5967840Abstract: A combined power and fiber optic cable can be terminated and connected to a second such cable. The male plug, in addition to its two male blades and hollow ground pin, carries a fiber optic conductor spring mounted to the plug. The receptacle has the normal female contact and ground pin contact to receive the blades and ground pin, respectively. The receptacle further carries a fiber optic conductor. When the male plug and receptacle are joined the electrical circuit between electrical conductors joined to the plug and receptacle are closed. In addition the end faces of the fiber optic conductors within the plug and receptacle are joined. The spring allows the fiber optic conductor of the plug to stay in intimate contact with the fiber optic conductor of the receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1998Date of Patent: October 19, 1999Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: William J.

Patent number: 5459358Abstract: An automotive battery charger or other electrical device which draws substantial amounts of power is provided with a variable delay mechanism which prevents turn on of the device when power is applied. The duration of the delay is determined by a random or pseudorandom number generator, so that a plurality of different electrical devices will, in effect, be turned on at random times following application of power. The maximum turn on delay could be conveniently limited to a specific period of time, so that critical operating times of the device, such as the charging cycle of a battery charger, are not shortened excessively.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1992Date of Patent: October 17, 1995Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventor: William J.

Patent number: 5023727Abstract: This invention relates to methods for forming a substantially continuous composite video signal. A method for forming a composite signal comprises providing a video signal preprogrammed with data, reading or decoding and storing the data, determining where to combine a video field assembled from the data with the video signal, and combining the video field with the video signal by switching between the two. A method for forming a substantially continuous video signal comprises providing a video signal preprogrammed with data, reading or decoding and storing the data, receiving input indicating a desired video signal segment, determining the gap before locating the desired video signal segment, and filling the gap with a video segment assembled from the data. In another aspect, this invention also relates to a device for carrying out the methods of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 1989Date of Patent: June 11, 1991Assignee: Ian A. R.

Patent number: 4840602Abstract: A doll cooperates with a remote signal source which provides a narration with which the doll interacts, and it has a vocabulary stored in digital data in a memory which may be accessed to cause a speech synthesizer in the doll to simulate speech. The doll has a radio frequency receiver which receives encoded data from the remote signal source, and a central processing unit which accesses the memory for selected speech data to simulate the doll's response to portions of the narration from the remote signal source. The remote source provides a narrative and substantially simultaneously transmits a radio frequency signal providing binary coded data which, when analyzed by the logic of the doll, elicits an intelligent or responsive statement from the doll. In one embodiment, the remote source includes a cassette tape player for providing the narration and the encoded signals.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 1987Date of Patent: June 20, 1989Assignee: Coleco Industries, Inc.Inventor: William J.
