Abstract: Ground reference lead for measuring high frequency electrical signals using a probe head. The ground reference lead comprises a flexible body, a probe socket arranged on a probe end of the flexible body, a ground socket arranged on a ground end of the flexible body, an electrical contact pathway that electrically connects the probe socket and the ground socket and that extends at least partially within the flexible body, and a resistor that is electrically arranged in the electrical contact pathway.

Abstract: A probe head with a cylindrical portion and an oblique truncated portion angled downward toward a high-powered electronic device under testing. The probe head has a proximal end comprising an oblique truncated cone portion angled relative to the longitudinal axis at an input angle and has an analog signal input. The probe head has a digital signal output provided on the distal end of the housing.

Abstract: In order to control at least partially automated vehicles in a road danger zone, in particular road junctions in road traffic, in such a way that the vehicles can pass through the road danger zone in flowing traffic without stop/start interruptions, such as those caused e.g. by signalling equipment, traffic lights, the following proposes the following steps: a) each vehicle of the vehicles, on approaching the road danger zone, surrender the power to control the dynamic driving tasks of the vehicle in order to pass through said zone, b) when the vehicles have surrendered vehicle control power, a central control entity generates a digital road danger zone twin, and, as a result of the vehicles having surrendered vehicle control power, vehicle movements of the vehicle are automatically and dynamically controlled in a vehicle-coordinated and collision-free manner in order to pass through the road danger zone.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for socket interconnect structures and related methods. An example socket interconnect apparatus includes a housing defining a plurality of first openings and a plurality of second openings and a ground structure coupled to the housing. The ground structure defines a plurality of third openings. The third openings of the ground structure align with the second openings of the housing when the ground structure is coupled to the housing. A plurality of ground pins are located in respective ones of the second openings and third openings. The ground structure is to electrically couple the ground pins. A plurality of signal pins are located in respective ones of the first openings of the housing. The signal pins are electrically isolated from the ground structure.
