  • Capacitor discharge circuit
    Patent number: 11863062
    Abstract: A capacitor discharge circuit for discharging a capacitor to a discharge load. The discharge circuity includes current level sensing circuitry for producing a control signal circuity response to current passing to the discharge load. The discharge circuity modulates a level of current passing from the capacitor to the discharge load over time between predetermined ranges of current levels in response to the control signal.

  • Flange bolt cutter
    Patent number: 8667693
    Abstract: A flange bolt cutter for separating two connected flanges. The flange bolt cutter contains a circular saw blade pivotally connected to an adjustable flange band. The flange band contains an alignment ring for aligning the circular saw blade about the midpoint between two connected flanges. The flange bolt cutter is hydraulically operated. The adjustable flange band may be formed in two band sections hinged together and containing a rotatable bolt and handle for tightening and loosening the band sections around the flange connection.
