An intelligent electronic device (IED) includes memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to establish, over a communication network of a power system, a communication link according to a media access control security (MACsec) Key Agreement (MKA). The TED receives a plurality of access control secure association keys (SAKs) via the communication link. The TED receives one or more checked-out SAKs indicating a request to access the TED The TED allows access based on the one or more checked-out access control SAKs matching at least one of the plurality of access control SAKs.

A rotator is disclosed. The rotator includes a base and a mounting ring supported by the base. The rotator further includes a plurality of rollers on which the mounting ring rests when the rotator is fully assembled. The rotator is configured to support a steel column and allow rotation of the steel column to facilitate fabrication of the steel column.

Methods and systems are provided for improving air intake system hydrocarbon trap purging during engine-off time in a hybrid electric vehicle. One method includes opening the throttle during vehicle motion under battery operation and allowing airflow through the trap to purge its contents into the fuel canister via the canister purge valve. Upon transition into the engine-on mode, fuel vapors are released from the canister into the engine intake.

A manufactured article comprising a upper lid attachment piece (,), protruding member (,), housing unit (,), forward assist springs (,), slide-bolt (,) and handle (,) which is disposed on a toilet bowl, toilet lid and hinge connection points utilizing existing holes and fasteners whereby the user pulls a handle to the rear then lifts the toilet lid to gain access and closes the lid to automatically engage the system, thereby denying access of small children into the toilet bowl.

Side bolt toilet lid locking system

A casing attached to or made part of a standard windshield wiper assembly that extends a scraper blade to the surface of a vehicle windshield to dislodge insect remains and debris, with the aid of the wiper motion and a vehicle mist system. Once the desired cleaning effect is accomplished, the scraper is then retracted into the casing to allow normal operation of the vehicle's windshield wipers.
