Abstract: A linear-thermal-sensor testing system has a signal generator and a reflection analyzer. The signal generator generates a series of damped sinusoidal impulse signals each of a different frequency, and transmits the damped sinusoidal impulse signals to a first end of the linear thermal sensor. The linear thermal sensor generates a reflection signal corresponding to each of series the damped sinusoidal impulse signals at a plurality of electrical discontinuities in the linear thermal sensing array. The reflection analyzer receives a reflection signal from the first end of the linear thermal sensor. The reflection signal has indicia of electrical properties and locations within the linear thermal sensor for each of the plurality of electrical discontinuities. The reflection analyzer calculates the electrical properties and the locations within the linear thermal sensor based on the indicia of the received reflection signal.

Abstract: An embodiment of a cable assembly includes a cable including at least a shielded conductor, a mating connector mounted to a first assembly end, and an elongated strain relief grommet disposed longitudinally between the cable and the mating connector. The strain relief grommet includes a grommet body formed from a compressible material. The body includes a first grommet end portion disposed proximate to the mating connector, and a second grommet end portion disposed distal to the mating connector.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems for improved relative location identification for overheat, short circuit, and open circuit events. The systems accomplish the improvements by utilizing any, or a combination, of implementing a novel calculation formula, determining and implementing an external offset value, and determining and implementing an internal offset value.
