    Abstract: An electrical protection system which uses a ground fault interrupter (GFI) to protect a circuit from (A) ground faults and (B) overcurrents and/or overvoltages. For overcurrent protection, a control element may be coupled in series with the line or return input to the GFI, and a bypass element may be coupled in parallel with the control element and the GFI. In case of an overcurrent, the control element causes current to be diverted through the bypass element, thereby creating a current imbalance in the GFI circuitry causing the GFI to open the circuit. For overvoltage protection, a bypass element (e.g. a varistor) may be coupled between, e.g., the line sense input of the GFI and the return sense input of the GFI. In case of an overvoltage, the bypass element conducts current, thereby creating a current imbalance in the GFI circuitry causing the GFI to open the circuit.

    Abstract: A conventional ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is modified to provide frequency-selective current protection. A control element is connected in series with the line path (or return path) of the GFCI, and a bypass element is connected in parallel with the combination of the control element and the line path (or return path) of the GFCI. Under normal conditions, little or no current flows through the bypass element. However, frequency response characteristics of the control and/or bypass elements are such that a frequency-selective component of the current (i.e. high-pass, low-pass or band-pass) is diverted through the bypass element. When the magnitude of the frequency-selective component reaches a predetermined value, the bypass current flow causes sensing of a resulting current imbalance and tripping of the GFCI.

    Abstract translation: 传统的接地故障电路断续器（GFCI）被修改以提供频率选择电流保护。 控制元件与GFCI的线路（或返回路径）串联连接，并且旁路元件与控制元件和GFCI的线路径（或返回路径）的组合并联连接。 在正常条件下，很少或没有电流流经旁路元件。 然而，控制和/或旁路元件的频率响应特性使得电流（即，高通，低通或带通）的频率选择分量被转移通过旁路元件。 当频率选择分量的幅度达到预定值时，旁路电流将导致感测到的电流不平衡和GFCI的跳闸。

    Abstract: An overcurrent protection system which will give a rapid response to overcurrents which cause a reduction in the voltage across the load, e.g. a partial or complete short across the load, and is particularly suitable for protecting circuits against relatively small overcurrents, comprising: a circuit interruption element which, in the operating circuit, is connected in series between the electrical power supply and the electrical load, and which has (1) a closed state which permits the flow of a normal current, I.sub.NORMAL, through the circuit interruption element, and (2) an open state which permits the flow of at most a reduced current, substantially less than I.sub.NORMAL, through the circuit interruption element; a control element which, in the operating circuit, is connected in parallel with the load, and which has (1)(i) an on state, when the voltage across the control element is a normal voltage, V.sub.NORMAL, and (ii) is converted to an off state, when the voltage across the control element falls to a value V.sub.FAULT, or less, and (2) is functionally linked to the circuit interruption element so that when the control element is in the on state, the circuit interruption element is in the closed state, and when the control element is in the off state, the circuit interruption element is in the open state; and a bypass element which (1) is connected in parallel with the circuit interruption element, and (2) has (i) a start-up state such that, if the circuit interruption element is in the fault state and a current I.sub.NORMAL is passed through the bypass element, the voltage across the control element is greater than V.sub.FAULT, and (ii) a stopped state such that if the circuit interruption element is in the fault state as a result of the voltage across the control element having fallen to a value V.sub.FAULT or less, the current through the bypass element is such that the voltage across the control element remains at a value of V.sub.FAULT or less.

    Abstract: The method and system of the present invention provides an improved technique for replacing, implementing and managing computer-related assets. A technician accesses the World Wide Web through a user's computer. The information resident on the computer, including information regarding the computer and the user's preferences, are downloaded to a remote storage medium through the World Wide Web. Once downloaded, all information may be removed from the user's computer. Subsequently, the technician accesses another computer such as, for example, a new computer that has been assigned to the same user. The technician accesses the World Wide Web through the new computer and downloads the information previously stored on the remote storage medium. This information can then be used to install the user's prior applications, settings and preferences on the new computer.
