  • Patent number: 8351213
    Abstract: An electrical assembly including a substantially planar substrate having at least one recess therein and a plurality of electrical components. The electrical components are positioned in the at least one recess and include a first electrical component and a second electrical component. Each of the electrical components has a body and an electrical connection. The electrical connection of the first electrical component and the electrical connection of the second electrical component are aligned with each other when the body of the first electrical component is in a recess and the body of the second electrical component is in a recess.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050136733
    Abstract: A distribution device is provided for distributing high magnitude electrical potential from an input port of the distribution device to a plurality of output ports thereof. The distribution device includes a first portion and a second portion adapted for engagement. At least one of the first and second portions includes cooperating couplers providing electrical continuity between the distribution device input port and the plurality of distribution device output ports. The distribution device can be incorporated into a high magnitude potential supply system including a high magnitude potential supply having an output port at which a high magnitude potential is provided. The system further includes utilization devices. The output port of the high magnitude potential supply is coupled to the distribution device input port. Respective output ports of the distribution device are coupled to respective utilization devices.

  • Patent number: 6078182
    Abstract: An instrument for measuring the resistance of liquid paints and the surface resistance of articles to be coated electrostatically, includes a voltage multiplier circuit that multiplies a periodic low voltage signal to generate a resistance measuring voltage applied to first and second electrodes for resistance measurements. The electrodes are coupled to differential inputs of an A/D converter having an oscillator output for supplying the periodic low voltage signal to the multiplier circuit. Resistance, voltage and current measuring circuits are alternately switchable between the electrodes and the differential inputs of the A/D converter for measuring resistance, voltage and current, the results of which are displayed visually.
