  • Automatic hi-pot, megohmeter and continuity, circuit tester
    Patent number: 6815956
    Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method used to perform automatic high potential (hi-pot), megohmeter and continuity, circuit test which includes a power source connected to a central processing unit (cpu) having a floppy drive, a hard drive, an analog to digital (A/D) printed circuit board (pcb), and a predetermined number of digital I/O pcb's, a hi-pot device, and a power supply. A data entry device is connected to the cpu for providing input thereto. A display device is provided for displaying data. A hi-pot device is connected to the A/D pcb and to a digital I/O pcb for providing an input voltage of a predetermined magnitude. A multiplexer is connected to the power supply and to a digital I/O pcb and the hi-pot device for communicating the input voltage to a predetermined number of external circuits to provide testing of the external circuits.

  • Conduit compression fixture
    Patent number: 5974960
    Abstract: A fixture for axially compressing an axially compressible tube. The fixture comprises two, spaced apart clamp blocks for receiving and clamping the tube against relative movement in the blocks, and a base structure for supporting such blocks, with at least one of the blocks being slideable thereon. A device is provided for effecting relative translation of the blocks on the base structure to longitudinally compress and shorten the tube.
