The thermocouple input module can be adapted to apply the calibration factors to an incoming thermocouple voltage value to obtain an adjusted thermocouple voltage value.
Abstract:
A power delivery system includes a group of removable power cells. Each power cell includes a water cooled heat sink, an air intake, and an air output. The system also includes a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger draws air from the cells, cools it, and recirculates the cooled air to the cells via each cell's air intake. The cell may be designed so that components that are not near the heat sink are cooled by air from the intake before that air reaches the heat sink.
Abstract:
A multipole switching device selectively switches electrical power from an electrical power source to a load circuit. A first control device (llOM-1) comprises a housing mountable in a panel, an electromechanical actuator in the housing including a movable plunger, and an electrical switch in the housing operated by the plunger. A second control device (110M-2) comprises a housing mountable in a panel, adjacent the first control device, a mechanical actuator in the housing including a movable link, and an electrical switch in the housing operated by the movable link. A third control device (110M-3) comprises a housing mountable in a panel, adjacent the second control device, an electromechanical actuator in the housing including a movable plunger, and an electrical switch in the housing operated by the plunger. A tie linkage (130, 132, 134, 136) mechanically ties the first control device plunger and the third control device plunger to the movable link.
Abstract:
A method of monitoring, in real time, process data of a printed circuit board assembly line includes monitoring status or data from machines (11 ) in the assembly line. Based on the monitoring step, an order of events to be performed on the assembly line is determined. The determined order identifies a priority event. A user is notified of at least the priority event via at least one hand held device (12) carried by the user. The priority event is then attended to on the assembly line.
Abstract:
Certain exemplary embodiments comprise a retainer (2000) adapted to restrain a plurality of electrical conductors (1900). The electrical conductors can be operably connectable to one or more circuit breakers. The retainer can be adapted to define a plurality of through-holes (2100). Each of the plurality of through-holes can be adapted to nondestructively receive therethrough a conductor from the plurality of electrical conductors.
Abstract:
A system, method, and device for generating a signal processing network for deployment on a motion control system are disclosed. The exemplary system may have a module that supplies one or more signal processing units represented in data format using existing compiled and linked code. Another module provides a dedicated interface with the motion control system. The system may also have a module that supplies each signal processing unit with multiple inputs and multiple outputs and a module that routes the inputs and the outputs between the one or more signal processing units.
Abstract:
An electronic module. The electronic module includes a chassis (10), a plurality of capacitors (36), a plurality of bus bars (30), and a heat sink (38). The chassis includes a first end (14) and a second end (16). The first end is opposite the second end. The capacitors are positioned within the chassis, and at least one of the capacitors is proximate the first end. The bus bars are positioned within the chassis proximate the second end. The heat sink is positioned between the capacitors and the bus bars. The capacitors, the heat sink and the bus bars are positioned such that when an airflow enters the chassis at the first end (14), a portion of the airflow sequentially comes in contact with the capacitors, the heat sink, and the bus bars before exiting at the second end.
Abstract:
Certain exemplary embodiments can comprise a system, which can comprise a module communicatively coupled to a programmable logic controller (PLC). The module can comprise a transmission circuit and/or a receiving circuit. The module can be adapted to communicate with the PLC via 8B/10B encoded frames. A frame of the 8B/10B encoded frames can comprise a plurality of ordered fields.
Abstract:
A power cell system includes a structure (510) that provides multiple power cell locations (650). The system also includes at least one regenerative power cell, and at least one non-regenerative power cell. The cell locations and power cells are sized and positioned so that each cell location may interchangeably accept either a regenerative power cell or a non-regenerative power cell.
Abstract:
A power delivery system, and a method for operating it includes a plurality of power cells that are electrically connected to a multi-winding machine comprising one or more primary windings and a plurality of secondary windings such that each cell is electrically connected to one of the secondary windings and a plurality of the secondary windings are phase-shifted with respect to the primary windings. The method includes determining, for each cell in a set of the power cells, a carrier offset angle, and synchronizing, by the each cell in the set, a carrier signal to the secondary voltage for the cell based on the carrier offset angle determined for the cell. The carrier signal for each cell controls the timing of operation of switching devices within the cell.
