    Abstract: An apparatus for identification of a plumbing product includes a communication interface and a controller. The communication interface is configured to receive a raw image of the plumbing product. A first model is configured to analyze the raw image of the plumbing product. A second model is configured to analyze the raw image of the plumbing product in combination with supplemental information for the plumbing product. A third model is configured to analyze a cropped image of the plumbing product. The controller is configured to perform analysis using the models, such that the second model and the third model are performed in series when the first model indicates an object match for the plumbing product in the raw image, and the second model and third model are performed in parallel when the first model lacks the object match for the plumbing product in the raw image.

    Abstract: A circuit for minimizing energy provided to a ground fault includes a source, a multiple switches, an output filter, and a controller. The switches include a first side pair of switches and a second side pair of switches configured to provide an output signal based on the source. The output filter includes one or more energy storage elements coupled to the first side pair of switches or the second side pair of switches. The controller is configured to receive a ground fault signal that indicates a fault has occurred and configured to generate a switch signal for the switches for a minimum energy state of the output filter and in response to the ground fault signal.
