  • CHASSIS MOUNT MULTI-INPUT H-BRIDGE ELECTRICAL HARNESS
    Publication number: 20140000576
    Abstract: An integrated H-bridge electrical harness for controlling an actuator, such as a stepper motor, where the harness includes a signal converter in electrical communication with an ECU, a driver in electrical communication with the signal converter, and a plurality of connectors. At least one of the connectors provides a connection with the ECU, and another of the connectors provides a connection with an actuator. The signal converter receives a first type of signal (such as a pulse width modulated signal) from the ECU, and converts the first type of signal to a second type of signal, and the signal converter sends the second type of signal to the driver. The driver sends a third type of signal (such as a double square wave signal) to the actuator to control the actuator.

  • Device for measuring the surface energy of materials
    Publication number: 20130247683
    Abstract: The present invention is a device for measuring the surface energy of a material. The device includes a pulling mechanism and a clamp. A film, including an adhesive side, is attached to a surface to be measured. The film is clamped to surface energy measuring device. The device is placed flush on the surface. A pulling mechanism is pulled until a triangular piece of film tears and is removed from the surface. The device is then lifted off of the surface and a measurement is made at the pre-calibrated marking nearest the tip of the triangle torn into film.
