    Abstract: An integrally formed interface seal, including a base including a sidewall configured to surround at least a portion of a disconnector switch housing configured to house an interface pad, a first lip extending inward relative to the sidewall, and a second lip from the first lip and away from the first lip parallel to the sidewall. The second lip is configured to be compressed against the disconnector switch housing to hermetically seal a conductor secured to the interface pad from an external environment.

    Abstract: A saturable-core inductor includes a magnetic core structure having a non-saturable part and a saturable part. The non-saturable core part includes at least one core body arranged to form a closed magnetic circuit with at least one air gap. The saturable core part includes a core bridge element inserted into each of the at least one air gap to form a magnetic bridge across the air gap for the closed magnetic circuit. Each bridge element and the core bodies are configured to be unsaturated at predetermined low current levels to provide a low-current high inductance. Each bridge element is configured to saturate fully first with increasing current levels and to quickly drop the inductance from the low-current high inductance to a low inductance, while the air gap is configured to prevent the core bodies from a full saturation.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for measuring absorption of a liquid at several highly resolved wavelengths in the ultraviolet light spectrum with additional wavelengths or wavelength groups in the visible and/or near infrared light spectrum is provided. The apparatus includes a submersible housing that incorporates a broad band light source that emits ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared light, optical windows defining a measurement region of the liquid, an optical chopper unit to alternate between reference and measured light beams, an optical sensor to detect a specific wavelength or group of wavelengths in the visible or near infrared light spectrum from the broadband light source, a slit to define the broadband light geometry onto a diffraction grating, the diffraction grating to modify the broad band light beam into highly wavelength resolved ultraviolet wavelengths, and a line sensor to detect the highly wavelength resolved ultraviolet light.

    Abstract: A laser spectroscopy assembly for gas measurement is provided. The assembly includes a gas cell. The cell body includes an input optic. The assembly also includes a light source configured to emit laser light into the gas cell. The assembly further includes an optical mask positioned in an optical path of the laser light and positioned between the gas cell and the light source. The optical mask includes a surface forming an angle with the input optic, the angle unequal to zero or 90°. The optical mask also includes an entry defined in the surface and sized to admit the laser light therethrough. The entry is positioned in the optical path. The optical mask is configured to reduce noise from etalons caused by parallel surfaces and/or quasi-parallel surfaces in the optical path.

    Abstract: A method for an auxiliary device of an auxiliary resonant commutated pole inverter (ARCPI) to determine a boosting time of the ARCPI is provided. The auxiliary device includes an auxiliary switch path that uses a resonant inductor with at least one saturable inductor. The method includes: calculating, by a processor of the auxiliary device, a first boosting time in the auxiliary switch path based on a theoretical resonance inductance and a voltage that are applied to the resonant inductor; determining, by the processor, a second boosting time in the auxiliary switch path based on a look-up table; and determining, by the processor, the boosting time in the auxiliary switch path based on the first boosting time and the second boosting time. The method further includes controlling, by the processor, boosting current of the ARCPI based on the boosting time in the auxiliary switch path.

    Abstract: An industrial automation system comprises multiple process components, each categorizable into a cohort corresponding to a cohorting criterion. Some process components are configured to perform a machine learning (ML) process. A process component hosts at least a part of an ML model per cohort and communicates the ML model parameters among the multiple process components. The system assigns one or more of the process components to one of the cohorts according to the cohorting criterion; attributes the ML model parameters of a process component in a selected one of the cohorts to the ML model belonging to the selected cohort; determines a proximity value of each pair of cohorts; assigns a pair of cohorts to a respective neighboring cohort group when the proximity value meets a predetermined proximity criterion; and shares the ML model related data between process components belonging to the same neighboring cohort group.
