  • Battery testing apparatus that controls a switch to allow current to flow from the battery to a utility power source
    Patent number: 7635983
    Abstract: A battery testing apparatus including battery charger/tester and a controller having battery charge mode and a battery test mode. In the battery charge mode, the controller causes a utility power source to be connected to the battery charger/tester, and the battery charger/tester allows electrical current to flow from the utility power source to the battery. In the battery test mode, the battery charger/tester allows current to flow to the utility power source so as to provide a consistently repeatable power draw from the battery reducing the error in detection of a weakened battery.

  • Temperature control of electronic components
    Patent number: 6041850
    Abstract: A system for temperature control of an electronic component includes a heat plate supporting the component; a heat plate temperature sensor; a fan capable of providing air for cooling the heat plate; and a fan control for using the heat plate temperature to control the operation of the fan to provide a substantially constant heat plate temperature. The system can further include a heat pipe assembly having fins and coupled to the heat plate with the fan capable of providing air to the fins. The heat pipe assembly can include at least two heat pipes each having first ends coupled to the heat plate and second ends situated in a condensation section where at least one of the heat pipes has a different working fluid than an other.
