A magnetic ribbon or sheet is coated with an electrical insulator prior to formation of a magnetic implement. Manufacture of the magnetic implement is accomplished in a single process without need for co-winding magnetic and insulator ribbons. Thermal property differences between the magnetic material and the insulator operate during heat treatment to enhance magnetic property modification of the implement.

A magnetomechanical resonance element or marker strip with facilitated performance based on an amorphous magnetostrictive alloy ribbon is utilized in an electronic article surveillance marker. A curvature along the element's length direction is introduced during ribbon fabrication with a different radius of curvature, which increases the resonance performance with minimal loss in the magneto-mechanical circuit, and more particularly, in a marker utilizing a plurality of resonating elements or marker strips. A marker is fabricated utilizing the resonance element or elements and is utilized in an electronic article surveillance system.

A cradle and a method for adapting a circuit breaker for mounting in a switchgear cabinet having a bus bar system. The cradle includes a frame to which a racking apparatus and a locking apparatus are mounted. The racking apparatus is operable to move the cradle into and out of electrical connection with the bus bar system. The locking apparatus has a first operating state, wherein the locking apparatus prevents the circuit breaker from being disposed in the frame and allows the racking apparatus to operate, and a second operating state, wherein the locking apparatus allows the circuit breaker to be disposed in the frame and prevents the racking apparatus from operating.

A MOC operator structure for a circuit breaker includes linkage structure coupled between the operating mechanism and an interface structure. An armature is associated with the linkage structure. Permanent magnet structure is associated with the circuit breaker and is disposed generally adjacent to the armature. Wherein, when the operating mechanism is coupled with the linkage structure and the operating mechanism moves in a first direction, a portion of the linkage structure moves in a first direction and moves the MOC operator structure to an open position, with the armature being magnetically engaged with permanent magnet structure to maintain the MOC operator structure in the open position. When the portion of the operating mechanism moves in a second direction, the portion of the linkage structure moves in a second direction and moves the MOC operator structure to a closed position, with the armature magnetically disengaging from the permanent magnet structure.

A MOC operator structure for a vacuum circuit breaker includes a cam coupled to an operating shaft of the circuit breaker, a follower in engagement with the cam, a first lever coupled with the follower, free-floating spring structure associated with the first lever, a second lever, a linkage structure coupled with the second lever and constructed and arranged to be associated with a breaker-panel interface for moving auxiliary switches, and movable cable structure operatively coupled between the first and second levers. The first lever and spring structure are configured such that when the contacts are closed, movement of the cam via the operating shaft drives the first lever to a maximum position compressing the spring structure, prior to any movement of the cable structure, and wherein force of the spring structure moves the cable structure and thus the second lever, causing movement of the linkage structure.

A training cartridge projectile includes a cylindrical base member, a cupaped plastic ogive member having its open end attached to the front end of the base member to form a color cavity and having an annular weakening groove; at least one leaf spring resiliently interposed between the ogive member and the front end of the base member; and a mass of aerosol-producing color material in the color cavity. On impact with a target, the ogive member breaks at the weak area, releasing the leaf spring, which snaps back to its original shape and thereby disseminates the color material into the air, thus producing an easily visible aerosol color signal in the region of impact.
