Publication number: 20230288457Abstract: Circuit test devices and methods are provided. The method includes measuring a voltage between first and second conductor points (CPs) of a circuit under test (CUT), and determining if the measured voltage is less than a low voltage threshold value (LVTV) indicative of electrical continuity (EC) between the first and second CPs. In response to determining that the measured voltage is less than the LVTV, the method includes: transmitting a test signal (TS) to the first or second CP, and determining if the test signal is received after being transmitted. In response to determining that the TS is received, a presence of EC between the first and second conductor points is reported, and in response to determining that the TS is not received, absence of EC between the first and second CPs, or a lack of electrical contact between the VMC and the first and/or second CP(s), is reported.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2022Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: The United States of America as represented by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Dept. of JusticeInventors: Ian B.

Publication number: 20170002505Abstract: A technique for minimising “blooming” or “frosting” that may occur when bonding sub-components of an article together to form a composite component with an adhesive such as cyanoacrylate. Opposed bonding regions on surfaces of first and second sub-components are bonded by the adhesive and at least one of the opposed bonding regions is provided with a depression in its surface which is capable of receiving and containing an amount of uncured/curing adhesive. The depression is preferably shaped and dimensioned so as to contain the uncured adhesive while minimising the adhesive's surface area exposed to the atmosphere. The depression may be shaped as an elongate groove along at least a part of a bonding region, such as along at least a part of the periphery of a bonding region.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Inventors: Marco Braida, Jess Michael Malone
