Solar augmenter
This invention presents an electronically configurable architecture where the plurality of photovoltaic panels can be connected to deliver the maximum power output. This architecture provides maximum power point to the maximum number of photovoltaic panels by connecting them in parallel. Under-rated panels are dynamically coupled with over-rated or maximum-rated panels in a series-connected architecture to utilize the under rated power in the final delivery. Notable efficiency improvements may be observed in contrast to the prevailing optimization with minimum power drop out architecture. The architectural modifications are proposed with bi-stable electromagnetic changeover contacts to minimize the power dissipation in control side. Moreover the rearrangement in connection architecture is proposed to be communicated on instance and regular basis through SMS and SPI protocol for easy fault diagnosis by the service personnel from the proposed data mining firmware.
DOME-SHAPED PUSH SWITCH
A dome-shaped push switch includes a sheet and a conducting layer disposed at a low surface of the sheet. The sheet has a pressing portion arching upward. The conducting layer is disposed at a lower surface of the sheet. The conductivity of the sheet is greater than that of the sheet. The pressing portion includes at least one through hole penetrating through the pressing portion. The through hole has a side wall, the side wall sequentially has a shear surface and a tear surface from bottom up, and a fillet is provided between the shear surface and a lower surface of the pressing portion.

Electric switch
Provided is an electric switch, including a casing, an actuator, a movable contact frame, a snap-action resilient member, a lock mechanism, a signal switch and a contact switch. The actuator is capable of reciprocating along a first direction. The movable contact frame is provided with a retaining portion. The snap-action resilient member is arranged in the movable contact frame and is compressed by the actuator when the actuator moves. The lock mechanism includes two lock members which are capable of reciprocating in the mounting cavity along a second direction with the movement of the actuator, so as to lock or unlock the retaining portion. A brush of the electric switch is arranged on the movable contact frame. A movable contact of the contact switch is arranged on the movable contact frame.
CONTROL ELEMENT WITH BUCKLED MEMBER
A control element having a beam member divided into an actuation section and a valve section positioned on opposing sides of a pivot member, in which active control of the actuation section causes buckling of the valve section to bring the valve section from a closed state to an open state or causes relaxing of the valve section to bring the valve section from an open state to a closed state.
SWITCHING DEVICE WITH JUMP-ON MECHANISM
A switch device includes a lock component and a crossbar. The crossbar is configured to open or close electric contacts. The crossbar includes a lock receiving section for receiving the lock component after the switch device is turned to an ON position for a period of time. The lock component is disengaged from the lock receiving section after the period of time to allow the crossbar jump upwards to close the electric contacts quickly.

Electronic switch for electronic fuse
In accordance with one example, the electronic switch has a load current path operably coupled to a load via a wire; the electronic switch is configured to connect or disconnect a load current supply node and the load via the wire dependent on a drive signal. Further, the electronic fuse circuit includes a monitoring circuit configured to receive a current sense signal representing the load current passing through the wire and to determine a first protection signal based on the current sense signal and at least one wire parameter. The first protection signal is indicative of whether to disconnect the load current supply node from the load. Moreover, the electronic fuse circuit includes a logic circuit configured to receive at least one selection signal and to set the at least one wire parameter based on the at least one selection signal.
