摘要： A system is provided which comprises a power converter circuit, a plurality of DC-DC converter circuits, and a controller. The power converter circuit is configured to convert an AC voltage to a DC voltage. The DC-DC converter circuits are configured to convert the DC voltage output from the power converter circuit into respective regulated DC voltages. The controller is configured to control and program operations of the DC-DC converter circuits.

摘要： A circuit breaker comprises a solid-state bidirectional switch, a switch control circuit, current and voltage sensors, and a processor. The solid-state bidirectional switch is connected between a line input terminal and a load output terminal of the circuit breaker, and configured to be placed in a switched-on state and a switched-off state. The switch control circuit control operation of the bidirectional switch. The current sensor is configured to sense a magnitude of current flowing in an electrical path between the line input and load output terminals and generate a current sense signal. The voltage sensor is configured to sense a magnitude of voltage on the electrical path and generate a voltage sense signal. The processor is configured to process the current and voltage sense signals to determine operational status information of the circuit breaker, a fault event, and power usage information of a load connected to the load output terminal.

摘要： Ground-fault circuit interrupter positioned between energy controlled supply circuit and load circuit which includes fault detection circuit that senses ground path current leakage to the load circuit, fault processing circuit that detects presence of fault and generates fault output signal when fault detected, and control circuit switch connected to fault processing signal output, wherein control circuit switch is opened by presence of fault output signal, thus isolating load circuit from supply circuit. Preferably fault processing circuit and control circuit are optically linked, such that when fault is detected, control circuit switch is opened by optical fault output signal, thus isolating load circuit from the supply circuit. Circuit interrupter may couple another circuit interrupter via power distribution control unit, optionally manageable remotely via automated control interface.

摘要： An apparatus in an illustrative embodiment comprises at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory. The processing device is configured to receive sensor data from one or more nodes of a node network, to compute predicate data based at least in part on the received sensor data, to transmit at least a portion of the received sensor data and the computed predicate data to a third party application, to receive additional data from the third party application responsive to the transmitted portion of the received sensor data and the computed predicate data, to generate a control signal based at least in part on the received sensor data, the computed predicate data, and the received additional data from the third party application, and to transmit the control signal to at least one of the nodes of the node network. Other illustrative embodiments include methods and computer program products.

摘要： An apparatus comprises at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory. The processing device is configured to receive from a requester a request to modify a parameter of an access-controlled account associated with a set of sensor devices. Responsive to receipt of the request, the processing device initiates at least one instance of a proof of physical presence protocol, the proof of physical presence protocol requiring performance by the requester of at least one action involving at least one sensor device of the set of sensor devices associated with the access-controlled account. Responsive to successful completion of at least one instance of the proof of physical presence protocol, the processing device sends at least one notification to each of one or more registered users of the access-controlled account. The processing device approves or rejects the request based at least in part on at least one of a number and a type of responses to the one or more notifications.
