| 5989979 | Method for controlling the silicon nitride profile during patterning using a novel plasma etch process A novel anisotropic plasma etching process for forming patterned silicon nitride (Si3 N4) layers with improved critical dimension (CD) control while minimizing the Si3 N4 footing at the bottom edge of the Si | 11/23/1999 |
| 5925863 | Power breaker The power breaker is provided with a contact arrangement which is equipped with erosion-resistant contact members and has a stationary contact member (4), a contact member (4) which can move along a central axis (6) and an insulating nozzle (6) which conc... | 07/20/1999 |
| 5654532 | Moving interrupter gap shield The movable nozzle of a puffer circuit interrupter has a coaxial cylindrical shield connected to its downstream end and the main movable contacts connected to its upstream end. The shield is electrically connected to the stationary contact terminal. The m... | 08/05/1997 |
| 5453591 | Sensing structure for component wear in high voltage circuit interrupters A vaporizable material, for example, a silicone, that is buried beneath the surface of a Teflon nozzle for a sulfur hexafluoride power circuit breaker in an area of the nozzle which is exposed to abrasion and wear due to arc products. In a similar manner,... | 09/26/1995 |
| 4791256 | Insulated nozzle for use in an interrupter In an interrupter, an insulated nozzle is disposed in the vicinity between a pair of contact elements and is adapted to extinguish an arc occurring between the contact elements by blowing an insulating gas thereto. This insulated nozzle is formed from a f... | 12/13/1988 |
| 4420662 | Compressed-gas circuit breaker A compressed-gas circuit breaker possesses two contact members (1, 2), which move relative to one another, and a nozzle (7), which is made of dielectric material and is attached to a first (2) member of the two contact members. The constriction (8) of the... | 12/13/1983 |
| 3956605 | Fluid blast circuit interrupter with a compact nozzle structure and versatile operating mechanism A fluid blast circuit interrupter is provided having a pair of compact toroidal-shaped nozzles, steady-state current-carrying contacts, arc-establishing contacts, and a blast valve. A rotatable cam plate provides independent actuation of the steady-state ... | 05/11/1976 |
