Abstract: A portable intermittent fault detector includes an enclosure that carries electronics and a display. The electronics are selected, arranged, and connected in a manner that minimizes noise, including noise that could interfere with an ability of the portable intermittent fault detector to detect intermittent faults in complex electrical systems. The portable intermittent fault detector also includes a passive heat management system hat conveys heat away from the electronics. In addition, a test module assembly of the portable intermittent fault detector includes an inner assembly with test module boards that are rigidly secured to one another and an outer support that carries the inner assembly in a manner that absorbs impacts and other forces on the portable intermittent fault detector.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing connections in a system has a plurality of inputs each adapted to couple to a test point in the system under test and a switching module. The switching module includes a first output selectively coupled to receive a first group of one or more of the inputs and a set of outputs corresponding in number to the plurality of inputs, each being selectively coupled to receive a corresponding one of the plurality of inputs. The apparatus may also include a meter coupled to the first switching module output and an array of nodes coupled to the set of switching module outputs, where each node couples a signal to a row sense line and a column sense line.

Abstract: A non-invasive method of treating, controlling or preventing medical, psychiatric or neurological disorders is provided using transcutaneous electrical stimulation. A plurality of stimulation frequency parameters are used ranging from a relatively high frequency, for example about 40,000 Hertz, to a relatively low frequency, for example about 250 Hertz. The entirety of frequency parameters may be administered at each of a plurality of stimulation intensity levels. In particular, stimulating may begin at a first highest frequency parameter and a first lowest intensity parameter with the stimulation frequency parameter incrementally decreasing to the lowest frequency parameter. Then the frequency parameter is returned to the highest frequency parameter, and the intensity parameter increased to a next higher intensity parameter, and again stimulating through the plurality of frequency parameters from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency.

In particular, the method involves stimulating at a first highest frequency parameter and a first lowest intensity parameter, incrementally decreasing the stimulation frequency parameter a lowest frequency parameter, increasing the frequency parameter to the highest frequency parameter and increasing the intensity parameter to a next highest intensity parameter, and again stimulating through the plurality of frequency parameters from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency.

Abstract: An MOS current mirror includes a floating node onto which and from which electrons may be transported by control signals and electrical semiconductor structures in order to adapt the current mirror to supply a desired output current when a particular input calibration current is present.

Abstract: An integrating photosensor includes an NPN phototransistor having its collector connected to a source of positive voltage, a P-channel MOS transistor having its gate connected to row-select line, its source connected to the emitter of the phototransistor, and its drain connected to a column sense line.
