Abstract: A circuit breaker 1 comprises a live line 2 and a neutral line 5 respectively connected between a live/neutral supply connecting terminal 3,6 and a live/neutral load connecting terminal 4,7, and a semiconductor switching unit 14 located in the live line. A bypass line 10 is connected in parallel to the semiconductor switching unit and comprises a first and second mechanical switch 8,11 connected in series. The semiconductor switching unit and mechanical switches are controlled by a processor 9. In case of a short-circuit or over-current detection, the processing unit sends an opening command to the second mechanical switch a time delay after sending an opening command to the first mechanical switch. This allows no arc to form between the contacts of the second mechanical switch and a reduced current conduction time of the semiconductor switching unit, reducing thermal and electrical stress. The first and second mechanical switches may be identical. The time delay may be a predefined constant time delay or a variable time delay. The variable time delay may be the period for a predefined level of current commutation from the bypass line to the semiconductor switching unit to be detected, or the expected commutation time minus a reaction time of the second mechanical switch.

Title: Measuring electrophoretic mobility
Inventor: JOHN F MILLER
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 2019-08-15
Abstract: The ELS detection signal data may be analysed in a temporal ordering other than chronological. Electrochemical phenomena, e.g. electrode polarization and electrolysis, can be detected and corrections applied to the measured electrophoretic mobility values. Corrections may be determined by determining particle motion which deviates from an assumption that the strength of the electric field is not reduced due to electrochemical phenomena. Both laser Doppler electrophoresis (LDE) and phase analysis light scattering data analysis (PAL) methods may be applied to the same scattered light signal. A Doppler shift frequency distribution of the scatter light may be calculated using a modified Fourier transformation without resolution limit imposed by the electric field frequency. A reference beam configuration may employ acousto-optic modulators 514,540 as attenuator. A cross-beam configuration may have the detector placed out of the plane of the beams. Electrophoretic mobilities may be measured in low polarity / high ionic strength media, and of particles with low surface charge.

Title: Bypassing memory access for a load instruction using instruction address mapping
Inventor: BRIAN ROBERT PRASKY
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2018-02-20
Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for executing a predicted load that bypasses memory access for a load instruction. A first physical register that is predicted as storing a value to be loaded by the load instruction is identified and the value stored in the first physical register is copied to a second physical register for use by a consumer operation. A predicted store instruction corresponding to the load instruction is identified and a mapping table is accessed to obtain data associated with the predicted store instruction. The data is evaluated to determine whether the predicted load meets dependency constraints. As a result of execution of the predicted load, the consumer operation can utilize the data stored in the first physical register directly and bypass the cache memory access that would otherwise be required to execute the load instruction.
