Appeal No. 1998-3076
Application 08/303,046
disclosed and claimed invention, discloses a myriad of nodes
in his electrical distribution system. Bilas discloses at
least two different types of modules, i.e., an interface
module 24 and a circuit breaker module 20 (Figures 1a and 1b).
The circuit breakers plug into sockets on the bus
boards 16 and 18 (column 3, lines 46 through 55). The
interface module is coupled to the same bus boards. The
interface module houses an interface driver board 34, a power
supply board 44 and a termination board 38 (Figure 2; column
4, lines 36 through 41). The interface driver board 34 is in
turn coupled to the bus boards 16 and 18 via a pair of ribbon
cables 30 and associated DB25-type connectors, and to the
power supply board 44 and the termination board 38 via
interconnect board 31 (Figure 3; column 4, lines 41 through
49). A programmable controller 32 is secured to the front
panel of the interface module 24 using DB-9 connectors (column
4, lines 51 through 53; column 6, lines 8 through 16). Input
power to the electrical distribution system is via input power
lines 12, and output power from the system to loads is via
exit power lines 14 (Figure 1a).
