  • Publication number: 20230110695
    Abstract: A system for monitoring a circuit, comprising a device under test, such as a power field effect transistor or capacitor, coupled to a power source and a signal source and configured to generate a power output using the signal source, a current output, a voltage output and an end of life detector coupled to the current output and the voltage output and configured to generate a first impedance as a function of the current output and the voltage output, to compare the first impedance to a second impedance and to generate an indicator if the first impedance exceeds the second impedance.

  • Publication number: 20190049508
    Abstract: The methods and apparatus described herein are designed and configured to allow one user to test cable continuity using a wire-configurable directional connector. The methods and apparatus may transmit a first and second voltage pulse through a first and second wire of a cable under test, respectively, having a wire-configurable directional connector attached. Both voltage pulses travel through the wire-configurable directional connector. The first voltage pulse selectively leaves at least one of the second wire and a third wire of the cable under test and the second voltage pulse selectively leaves the third wire. The methods and apparatus may store a pre-determined pattern of a returning voltage pulse specific to the cable under test, and determine a state of the first, second, and third wires in response to receiving the first and second voltage pulses.

  • Publication number: 20180053132
    Abstract: Plan of action and milestones (POA&M) automated generation engine (PAGE) systems are provided along with related methods. A number of distributed tamper protected configuration scanning systems configured to scan computer files in selected target systems across a network and generate target system configuration scan results files. The PAGE system also includes a number of POA&M configuration selection user interfaces and visualization systems enabling users to select, inform, and customize POA&M outputs based on POA&M configuration files that include POA&M library files that are associated with different types of plans or actions (e.g., cyber security configuration for networked computers). An expert system is also provided for receiving a plurality of configuration file inputs (e.g., configuration scan results file and various baseline files, e.g.
