  • Patent number: 10168382
    Abstract: Electronic test set embodiments and related methods are provided that can include a variety of safety components and/or processes which permit expandable or scalable automated testing of different types of equipment with or without installed sensitive, dangerous, vulnerable or expendable equipment. Embodiments can programmably or interface share measuring systems using expandable programmable interface systems that can scalably test a large number of components or electrical channels or bus lines. Embodiments can include multiple circuit board slot connectors adapted to receive programmable relay circuit cards that can selectively couple individual pins on ETS interface structures (e.g., cable connectors) to selected test equipment. Programmable relay circuit cards can be added to the ETS based on how many channels or bus connections are needed to interface with a system under test.

  • Patent number: 9683521
    Abstract: A thermal abatement system comprises an axial inlet, radial outlet supercharger. A main case comprises at least two rotor bores, an inlet plane and an outlet plane. The inlet plane is perpendicular to the outlet plane. An inlet wall comprises an inner surface. Two rotor mounting recesses are in the inner surface, and the inlet wall is parallel to the inlet plane. An outlet is in the outlet plane. An inlet is in the inlet plane. At least two rotors are configured to move air from the inlet to the outlet. The main case comprises at least two backflow ports. An intercooler is connected to receive air expelled from the supercharger, to cool the received air, and to expel the cooled air to the at least two back flow ports.
