Granted: 2008-12-23
Abstract: The systems and methods of the present invention provide a circuit for controlling the magnitude of the main and pilot arc current provided to an arc cutting or welding machine. In one embodiment, the circuit allows the user to set the pilot arc current such that it automatically tracks the main arc current setting. The pilot arc current is set to a value that is proportional to the main arc current, such that the pilot arc current value is tailored to the specific cutting operation to be performed and/or the specific nozzle and electrode being used. In an alternative embodiment, the circuit allows the user to select from different pilot arc current levels; such as low, medium:, and high current levels. This allows the user to override the pilot arc control in instances where the plasma arc cutting or welding machine is operated under conditions not optimal for the selected nozzle and electrode.

Abstract: A credential is translated with one of different credential provider modules each translating a corresponding different type of credential into a common protocol. The translated credential is communicated through an API to a logon UI module to an operating system (OS) of a local machine. An OS logon module is called by the logon UI module to authenticate the translated credential against a credential database. A user identified by the translated credential is logged on to access the local machine when the authentication is successful. The credential can also be used with a selection received from the logon UI module via a corresponding one of different pre-log access provider (PLAP) modules that each communicate with the API. The API establishes a network session with an access service specified by the selected PLAP module when the credential is authenticated with the credential database.
