  • CURRENT SHUNT WITH CANCELING MUTUAL INDUCTANCE
    Publication number: 20240087776
    Abstract: A shunt resistor has a substrate having electrically conductive structures to carry current in a current path, a resistive portion in electrical contact with the electrically conductive structures, and one or more canceling inductance leads electrically connected to the electrically conductive structures and the resistive portion, the one or more canceling inductance configured to cancel inductive effects in a voltage measurement across the resistive portion. A modular tip interconnect has a connector at a first end of the interconnect configured to connect to a probe tip of a test and measurement instrument, and the above shunt resistor located at a second end of the interconnect configured to connect to a device under test (DUT).

  • Methods for the electrolytic production of xylo-pent-1,5-diose
    Patent number: 9169571
    Abstract: Method and electrochemical cells for producing xylo-pent-1,5-diose are provided. The xylo-pent-1,5-diose may be formed in a solution initially comprising D-glucuronic acid or D-glucuronic acid glycoside. The xylo-pent-1,5-diose may be formed by electrochemical oxidative decarboxylation of the D-glucuronic acid or D-glucuronic acid glycoside in the solution in the presence of a graphite foil electrode with improved current efficiency and/or current density.

  • Methods for the electrolytic production of erythritol
    Patent number: 9133554
    Abstract: Methods for the production of erythrose and/or erythritol are provided herein. Preferably, the method of producing erythritol includes the step of electrolytic decarboxylation of a ribonic acid or arabinonic acid reactant to produce erythrose and the step of electrolytic reduction or erythrose to produce erythritol. Optionally, the reactant can be obtained from a suitable hexose sugar, such as allose, altrose, glucose, fructose or mannose.
