  • Patent number: 7402933
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention there is provided a brush holder for use with an electric motor, generator, or actuating device. The brush holder includes a body having an upper portion and a lower portion. A pair of flanges separately extends from opposing sides of the lower portion. Each flange includes a channel to provide a method of adjustably attaching the body to the device. A pair of members separately extends from opposing sides of the upper portion and each member includes a curved surface to accommodate coil ends of a constant force spring. A lateral bore is positioned through the body with openings to the bore being positioned about the pair of members. The bore is sized to accommodate a middle section of a constant force spring. An anterior bore positioned through the body transverses the lateral bore and sized to accommodate a carbon brush.

  • Patent number: 5412664
    Abstract: An improved integrated circuit (IC) comprises test logic circuitry operably coupled to a serial port, multiplexing circuitry coupled to the output of the IC and a data bus, and gating circuitry coupled to logic sections of the IC and the data bus. The IC may be tested by providing test parameters to the IC which includes identification of a particular logic circuit to be tested and test vectors for the particular logic circuit. Next, access is provided to the data bus for the particular logic circuit based on the test parameters. Finally, external test equipment is provided access to part of the data bus based on the test parameters such that the external testing equipment monitors data placed on the data bus by the particular logic section.
