  • Automatic board probing station
    Patent number: 12625177
    Abstract: Systems and methods herein are for an automatic board probing station in which a plurality of probe tips are associated with a plurality of probe arms and with a plurality of motorized connectors, where the plurality of motorized connectors is to cause individual ones of the plurality of probe tips and individual ones of the plurality of probe arms to be movable independently, and where the plurality of probe tips is to communicate probe signals with a circuit analysis system and is to concurrently probe a plurality of probe points of a circuit board.

  • Short circuit tester for high power DC circuits
    Patent number: 12504444
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein provide for a short circuit testing fixture in which a switch arm is associated with a switch bridge and with a trigger mechanism to enable testing of electrical shorts in high powered DC circuits. The trigger mechanism causes the switch arm to contact the switch bridge and close an energized circuit to cause a short. The switch arm maintains the closed energized circuit after the short until the circuit is deenergized.
