Title: Apparatus having vacuum applying facilities and method of using vacuum to bend and/or shape one or more sheets
Inventor: SISKOS WILLIAM R
IPC: C03B23/035
Filed: 2005-04-19
Abstract: One or more sheets, e.g. two glass sheets heated to their deformation temperature are shaped by positioning the sheets on a sheet supporting surface of an outline mold. The outline mold and press face of a shaping member are moved relative to one another to bias the marginal edge portions of the upper sheet against the press face to establish an enclosure around the peripheral edges of the sheets. Vacuum is applied to the peripheral edges of the sheets to pull the air from between the sheets, and from between the press face and adjacent sheet surface as positive or atmospheric pressure is applied to bottom sheet to move the sheets against the press face. Optionally a vacuum can be pulled through passageways in the press face during the shaping of the sheets and pressurized air moved through the passageways after the sheets are shaped to move the sheets away from the press face.

Title: Interlock assembly for sequentially actuating power supply switches including a neutrally connected switch
Inventor: FLEGEL DAVID D
IPC: H02J3/06
Filed: 2007-03-06
Abstract: An interlock assembly for use with a pair of aligned multiple switch assemblies configured to control the supply of electrical power to an electrical panel.  Each multiple switch assembly includes a two-pole transfer switch for a pair of "hot"  conductors, and a single-pole transfer switch for a neutral connection. The interlock assembly is movably mounted relative to both of the multiple switch assemblies, and is configured to control a sequence of connection and interruption of each neutral connection relative to switching the hot conductors associated with switching each multiple switch assembly. The interlock assembly prevents the "hot" conductors of each multiple switch assembly from being connected without the associated respective neutral connection having been made in advance. The interlock assembly also ensures that the neutral connection of each multiple switch assembly is interrupted without previous interruption of the connection of the respective "hot" conductors.

Abstract: Selon l'invention, un détecteur de défauts d'arc analyse des modèles dans une séquence de comptage de hausses ou de baisses d'intervalle en intervalle, dans un courant intégré, pour déterminer des caractéristiques de formes de défauts d'arc. Dans des systèmes CA, l'intervalle peut être un cycle complet ou, en variante, les changements intervenus dans un courant intégré pour des demi-cycles positifs ou négatifs sont déterminés séparément puis entrelacés avant que les comptages de changements ne soient calculés. La séquence de comptage est réinitialisée quand des caractéristiques de formes de phénomènes autres qu'un défaut d'arc sont détectées, ce qui permet d'éviter des déclenchements intempestifs.
