Abstract: An apparatus for detecting printed circuit board (“PCB”) design violations includes an analysis module that analyzes a position of a trace on a PCB design to determine conductivity of a design material over which the trace is being added and/or an electrical property of the trace at the position. The apparatus further includes an identification module that identifies, in real time, a void violation on the PCB design in response to the design material including a non-conductive material and/or a reference voltage violation on the PCB design in response to the position including a voltage and a notification module that notifies a user of the void violation and/or the reference voltage violation. At least a portion of said modules include hardware circuits, a programmable hardware device, and/or executable code stored on one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media.

Abstract: A portable electrical testing device is disclosed. The portable electrical testing device includes an electrical probe and a laser soldering device. The electrical probe is configured to be placed in contact with an electrical circuit element and to receive electrical signals from the circuit element. The laser soldering device is configured to apply laser radiation to the electrical probe while the probe is in contact with the electrical circuit element to heat the electrical probe and to thereby enable soldering of the electrical probe to the electrical circuit element. The electrical probe further includes a replaceable probe lead having a surface coating of an electrically conductive fusible metal alloy that melts, when heated by laser radiation from the laser soldering device, and forms a mechanical bond with the circuit element upon cooling. The electrical probe and laser soldering device are configured to be adjustably positioned relative to a mechanical housing.

Abstract: An electromagnetic induction air heater system (10) includes a conductive element (1), a driver (4) coupled to the conductive element (1), an induction element (2) positioned close to the conductive element (1), and a power supply (3) coupled to the induction element (2) and the driver (4). Specifically, the driver (4) applies an angular velocity to the rotate the conductive element (1) about a rotational axis (5). The power supply (3) provides electric current to the induction element (2) to generate a magnetic field about the induction element (2) such that the conductive element (3) heats as it rotates within the magnetic field to transfer heat to warm the cold air flow streams (7). The cold air flow streams (7) are circulated about the surface of the conductive element (1) and directed by the moving conductive element (1) to generate warm air flow streams (8) from the conductive element (1).

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a method of using a pod to rapidly deploy defensive countermeasures from a wide variety of manned aircraft. The method includes using a configurable pod for dispensing different types of infrared countermeasure (IRCM) devices and different types of radio frequency countermeasure (RFCM) devices at a rapid rate. The primary purpose of this method is to rapidly dispense IRCMs and RFCMs is to protect the host aircraft while ingress and egress maneuvers are performed in a hostile area. A secondary use of the method is for use in defending commercial aircraft from missile threats.
