20090061664 | GROUNDING ONE OR MORE CABLES - An apparatus is for grounding one or more cables, each cable having a cable jacket surrounding an electrically conductive layer that includes an exposed portion not covered by the cable jacket. The apparatus includes an electrically conductive enclosure coupled to a ground potential and having an opening therethrough, a plurality of electrical conductors disposed across the opening to form a lattice, and an electrically conductive connection. The lattice is configured to receive the one or more cables therethrough such that the exposed portion of the electrically conductive layer of each cable makes electrical contact with at least one of the electrical conductors. The connection is electrical coupled to the lattice and the enclosure such that the electrically conductive layer of each cable received through the lattice is electrically coupled to the ground potential through the lattice, the connection, and the enclosure. | 03-05-2009 |
20090108860 | VERSATILE MATERIALS PROBE - Disclosed is an electrical measurement probe including two probe blocks, each probe block having a connection face and a measurement face. Each probe block also includes a plurality of spring loaded pogo pins. Each pogo pin has a first end that extends to the connection face and a second end that protrudes from the measurement face. The two probe blocks are attached to a top plate. The top plate is attached to a face of each probe block opposite to the measurement face of the probe block. | 04-30-2009 |
20100277182 | Implementing A Coded Time Domain Transmission Distance Meter - A method and circuit for implementing a coded time domain transmission distance meter, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. A first transmitter module connected to a cable at a first point or power outlet, generates and sends a testing coded pulse onto the power cable. A second receiver module connected to the cable at a second point, receives the testing coded pulse, and returns a receiver response coded pulse to the transmitter module. The first transmitter module determines the round-trip elapsed time, subtracts a receiver latency time, and calculates a distance to the second receiver module. Encoded in the testing coded pulse are data representing the last calculated distance. Both the first transmitter module and the second receiver module include a display for displaying the calculated distance. | 11-04-2010 |
20100311275 | IMPLEMENTING ADAPTABLE THREE PHASE MODULAR LINE FILTERING - A modular line filter connector is provided for implementing adaptable three-phase power filtering. A plurality of selected modular components defines the modular line filter connector. The modular line filter connector includes a pair of outer cylinders providing power filtering connections including, for example, line-to-line connections, line-to-common connections, common-to-protective earth connections, and line-to-protective earth connections. The selected modular components are mounted between the pair of outer cylinders and disposed along the length of the modular line filter connector. Different modular components are selected to adapt the modular line filter connector for different filtering applications. | 12-09-2010 |
