Inventor: MINER MARK CHARLES
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2001-10-09
Abstract: A communication system includes a network control facility (205), two downstream channels (212, 213), at least one remote interface unit (209, 210), and at least one communication device (201, 202) associated with each remote interface unit (RIU). Each RIU operates in one of two operating modes: a low power, standby mode and a high power, active mode. The wake-up command instructs the RIU to transition from standby mode to active mode in order to receive user or control information over the primary downstream channel. The secondary downstream channel utilizes a substantially slower transmission speed (e.g., a lower order modulation) than does the primary downstream channel, thereby enabling the RIU to consume substantially less power when in standby mode than when in active mode, without adversely impacting the throughput rate of the primary downstream channel.

Title: Line differential protection system for a power transmission line
Inventor: FOLKERS RALPH
IPC: H02H3/30
Filed: 2001-10-15
Abstract: In a power line current differential protection system, all three phase current values (IA, IB, and IC) are obtained from both the local end and the remote end of a power transmission line (12). The magnitude of the ratio of the remote current values to the local current values are calculated. Also, the angle difference between the local and the remote current values for each phase are calculated. Comparison elements (40, 42) then compare the ratio and angle values against preselected values which establish a restrain region in the current ratio plane. Current values which result in the ratio being within the region do not result in a tripping signal for the circuit breaker on the power transmission line (12), while current values which result in a ratio outside of the region result in a tripping of the circuit breaker. Similar circuitry is used for negative sequence current quantities, with the negative sequence preselected values being set substantially lower to produce a more sensitive response to possible faults in the line.
