The "Stab-Lok” circuit breaker and panel produced by Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) installed in hundreds of thousands of homes in the Bay Area may cause house fires, according decades of documentation and electrical experts interviewed by the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit.
General Electric and GENICOM manufactured circuit boards on site using a plating and etching processes that generated waste solvents. These solvents and other wastes contributed to groundwater contamination. General Electric assumed environmental responsibility for the contamination and operates a pump-and-treat system.

GE-400 systems featured a "variable length, relocatable accumulator" [5] which could be set programmatically to a length of one to four words and relocated to overlay any four adjacent locations in memory (modulo four). "The accumulator can be moved to the data to be processed, rather than moving the data."

The GE-215 (1963) [3] [8] was a scaled-down version of the GE-225, including only six I/O channels and only 4 kilowords or 8 kilowords of core. The GE-205 (1964). [2] The GE-235 (1964) [3] was a re-implementation of the GE-225 with three times faster memory than the original. [9] The GE-235 consisted of several major components and options ...
Automotive fuses are typically housed inside one or more fuse boxes (also called an integrated power module (IPM)) within the vehicle, typically on one side of the engine compartment and/or under the dash near the steering wheel.
