Assignee:

General Electric Company - Schenectady NY

International Classification:

H02B 120

US Classification:

361652

Abstract:

A multiple pole sub-feed for a panel board is disclosed. The sub-feed of the present invention includes extension bus bars which connect to the bus bars of the panel board and preferably linearly extend the length of the sub-feed. The sub-feed further includes bus connectors supported generally perpendicular to the extension bus bars and preferably extending the width of the sub-feed. The design allows for a plurality of poles of sub-feed to be accommodated by adding bus connectors to the end of the sub-feed, where each bus connector includes an opening for electrically connecting to one of the extension bus bars. Current passes from the extension bus bars to a metal retainer connecting the bus connector to the extension bus bars, to a current carrying strap in the bus connectors, to a current carrying spool located in a turret on the bus connectors, and then to a circuit breaker positioned above the bus connector about the turret.

Assignee:

Binj Laboratories, Inc. - Scituate MA

International Classification:

H04W 24/00

US Classification:

4554561, 4554562, 4554566, 455457

Abstract:

In embodiments, a method of detecting a transmitting device within an obstruction rich environment is disclosed. The method may involve detecting the transmitting device with a wireless transmission detection facility; communicating signal information relating to the detected transmitting device from the wireless transmission detection facility to a central unit; determining the location of the transmitting device; displaying information of the detection and location of the transmitting device through a user interface; and providing an action facility for causing actions related to the detected transmitting device.

US Classification:

4554561, 4554564, 4554565, 340 561

Abstract:

A method of detecting, controlling and managing transmission of a transmitting device within a facility is disclosed. The method involves transmitting information to the transmission device, detecting a response transmission from the transmission device by a least one transmission detection facility, extracting identification information associated with the transmission device in response to the transmitted information; and determining a location of the transmission device based on the response transmission received by the at least one received transmission detection facility, wherein the response transmissions are sorted by the identification information, determining an allowability of the located transmission device with the set area and interacting and manipulating transmission of the detected transmitting device.

International Classification:

G06K 9/34

US Classification:

382176, 382173, 382181

Abstract:

A system that extracts text from an image includes a capture device that captures the image having a low resolution. An image segmentation subsystem partitions the image into image segments. An image restoration subsystem generates a resolution-expanded image from the image segments and negates degradation effects of the low-resolution image by transforming the image segments from a first domain to a second domain and deconvolving the transformed image segments in the second domain to determine parameters of the low-resolution image. A text recognition subsystem transforms the restored image data into computer readable text data based on the determined parameters.
