Abstract:
A circuit comprising a differential transmission line and eight switches provides non- reciprocal signal flow. In some embodiments, the circuit can be driven by four local oscillator signals. The circuit can be used to form a gyrator. The circuit can be used to form a circulator. The circuit can be used to form three-port circulator than can provide direction signal flow between a transmitter and an antenna and from the antenna to a receiver. The three-port circulator can be used to implement a full duplex transceiver that uses a single antenna for transmitting and receiving.

An electrical distribution panel for controlling the distribution of electrical power to a plurality of loads includes a plurality of solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs), each including a thermally conductive heatspreader and one or more power semiconductor devices that control whether electrical current is able to flow to an attached load; a distribution panel heatsink configured in thermal contact with the SSCB heatspreaders; one or more cooling fans that blow air onto the distribution panel heatsink; a stacked bus bar with quick-fit pin-mount receptacles for receiving mating/matching press-fit connection pins located on line-side terminals of the SSCBs; a communications and control (comm/control) bus communicatively coupled to the plurality of SSCBs; and a head-end interface and gateway to which an external computer can connect, to, among other things, set and alter trip settings of the plurality of SSCBs via the comm/control bus.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an overload detection device (1) for detecting an overload condition in a DC system (5) comprising a DC voltage source (4) and several electrical devices (8, 9, 10) electrically connected to the DC voltage source. The overload detection device comprises an overload detection unit for detecting the overload condition and a reducing unit for reducing the power consumed by an electrical device of the several electrical devices, if the overload detection unit detects the overload condition. Since the overload detection device reduces the power consumed by an electrical device of the several electrical devices, if the overload detection unit detects the overload condition, the overload condition may be removed, without requiring manual intervention. This allows for an improved recovery of the DC system.

Abstract:
The invention relates to, in particular, an electric domestic appliance (1) and to a method for supplying an electric domestic appliance (1) comprising a circuit device (8) for supplying internal consumers (11) from a low voltage supply network (5) which is supplied in particular by a photovoltaic power station or wind power station (6), a programme control arrangement (10) and measurement sensors (12), and a circuit arrangement (15) for an energy management system which classifies the internal consumers (11) according to energy requirements and energy supply. The aim of the invention is to provide a domestic appliance (1) and a method such that, in particular, electric low voltages sources (6), which provide, for example protection against low voltage are protected against excessive electric loads but above all, treatment programmes of programme controlled electric appliances (1) are protected against partial interruption when the low voltage supply (5) is interrupted due to temporary overload. The supply of the internal consumers (11) can for example be interrupted in a staggered manner in accordance with their energy requirements and their consumption profile when the energy supply of the low voltage supply network (5) is too low, and the re-connection is also staggered in accordance with the energy requirements and the energy supply.

Abstract:
A circuit interrupter device for selectively connecting a source of AC power from a line side to a load side of the circuit interrupter device includes a controller powered from a source of AC power from a line side. The controller initializes a self-test and determines whether the self-test was successful. The controller outputs a self-test result signal. An electrically-held relay of the device, which is in communication with the controller and is powered from the line side, stays in an OFF state until the self-test result signal indicates the self-test was successful, and enters an ON state if the self-test was successful. When in the OFF state, a load side of the circuit interrupter device is not in electrical communication with the source of AC power, and when in the ON state, the load side is in electrical communication with the source of AC power.
