    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to conductive cooling of a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver. For example, an SFP transceiver assembly may include a cooling block and a thermally conductive pad having a thermally conductive material. The SFP transceiver assembly may include a spring finger that contacts the thermally conductive pad while the SFP transceiver is inserted into the SFP transceiver assembly to allow heat to be conducted from the SFP transceiver to the cooling block via the thermally conductive pad to conductively cool the SFP transceiver.

    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for improving security and simplifying authentication in a software defined network (“SDN”). In various embodiments, the systems and methods disclosed herein may be applied in operational technology networks, such as those used in electrical power systems. In one embodiment, a device to be authenticated may be in communication with a network device. The network device may receive authentication credentials from the device to be authenticated and may communicate the authentication credentials to an authenticator. The authenticator may assess and approve the authentication credentials and communicate approval of the authentication credentials to the network device. The network device may implement a plurality of communication flows associated with the device to be authenticated.

    Abstract: A transformer system including a transformer including a set of wye windings, a three-phase current transformer, a neutral-current transformer, and a controller. The three-phase current transformer outputs a first signal indicative of a three-phase current conducting through the set of wye windings and the three-phase current transformer. The neutral-current transformer couples the current flowing from the ground to the neutral node of the transformer, and outputs a second signal indicative of a neutral current conducting from the ground node to the neutral node of the transformer. The controller receives the first signal and the second signal, determines whether an external ground fault condition or an internal ground fault condition is present based on the three-phase current and the neutral current, and determines whether a wiring error is present for the three-phase current transformer or the neutral-current transformer based on the three-phase current and the neutral current.

    Abstract: In-phase transfer of an electric power source to a load bus from a first feeder to a second feeder is disclosed herein. Voltage phase difference, voltage frequency difference, and voltage rate-of-change of frequency difference, between the second feeder and the load bus are used along with a breaker delay time to determine whether the breaker will close while the phase of the second feeder and the load bus are within an acceptable range. One or more breaker close time checks may be performed, including a breaker close time consistency check and a breaker close time uncertainty check.

    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods of restricting access to devices utilizing tokens. In some embodiments, a system may include a user requesting a token, ensuring the user requesting a token has the permission to request the token and is not the user approving the token. In some embodiments, the system may include the user granting the token, wherein the user granting the token is not the user receiving the token. The system ensures that the user accessing the device has the permission to access the device. Additionally, the system decreases the opportunities for insider attacks and increases the resistance to credential theft attacks. Further, the system increases the accountability for changes and the ability to review changes.
