TLDR
In this article, a system and method for filtering electric power system data communicated from faulted circuit indicators (FCIs) and at least one other source before the electric power systems data is further communicated to a monitoring system such as SCADA is presented.Abstract:
A system and method for filtering electric power system data communicated from faulted circuit indicators (FCIs) and at least one other source before the electric power system data is further communicated to a monitoring system such as SCADA The power system data from the FCIs may include an event such as a fault on the electric power system To avoid sending incorrect or excess information along to the monitoring system, the present disclosure describes a system and method for comparing data from the FCIs against electric power system data gathered either directly from the electric power system or from an intelligent electronic device (IED) If the two sets of data agree, then the information is passed on to the monitoring system The FCIs may communicate to a transceiver interface periodically, upon detection of an event, and/or upon interrogation by the transceiver interfaceread more

Method and apparatus for coupling an antenna to a device
Paul Shala Henry,Donald J. Barnickel,Farhad Barzegar,Robert Bennett,Irwin Gerszberg,Thomas M. Willis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a system that receives, by a feed point of a dielectric antenna, electromagnetic waves from a core coupled to the feed point without an electrical return path, and radiates a wireless signal responsive to the electromagnetic waves being received at the aperture.
