An apparatus includes a memory and a hardware processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The hardware processor receives, from a plurality of power supplies, a plurality of indications of electrical power disturbances detected by the plurality of power supplies and determines locations of the plurality of power supplies based on the plurality of indications. The hardware processor also determines, based on the plurality of locations, an event that caused the electrical power disturbances and classifies the event based on the location of the plurality of power supplies.

Detecting electrical power line disturbances

A device having an upper plate comprising a top face and a bottom face with an opening. A lower plate comprising a top face and a bottom face substantially parallel to the upper plate, with an opening. A middle plate between and substantially parallel to the upper plate and lower plate, capable of moving with respect to the upper plate and lower plate, and having a top face a bottom face and at least one opening. A plurality of gaskets configured to electrically connect the upper plate, the middle, plate, and the lower plate and provide an interface that is designed to allow the middle plate to slide substantially parallel to the upper plate and the lower plate. At least one waveguide through the at least one opening of the middle plate.

Movable shielded cable egress

A first planar prong adjacent to and parallel with, an exterior of the side of the enclosure. A second planar prong parallel to and spaced from an interior of the side of the enclosure and compress a first compressible gasket against the side of the enclosure. Furthermore, the second planar prong forms a first compartment between a first side of the second planar prong and the interior of the side of the enclosure, parallel to and spaced from an interior of the side of the enclosure. A planar base of the first planar prong and the second planar prong, adjacent to a cover of the enclosure. A first planar member having one end coupled perpendicular to a second side of the second planar prong and support a second compressible gasket in a second compartment formed between the planar member and the cover.

Device for attenuating propagation of electromagnetic emissions from an enclosure

Provided is a via for use in a printed circuit board or integrated circuit having first, second, third, and fourth layers. The via includes a first path capable of transmitting a forward current from the first to the second layer and a second path capable of transmitting a return current resulting from the forward current from the third to the fourth layer to return to a source of the forward current.
