  • Patent number: 6618265
    Abstract: All-or-none operation of a series of modular load elements is ensured by routing high and low voltage lines from a power source through opposite nodes positioned at either end of the series of load elements. This arrangement prevents activation of only a portion of the load elements where electrical connection between them is not successfully established.
    Type: Grant
