Patents by Inventor Gary R. Miscikowski

Gary R. Miscikowski has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • High voltage protection resistor
    Patent number: 5229743
    Abstract: A protection arrangement for a high voltage tube includes a low inductance disk resistor connected in series with the anode of the tube. When an electrical discharge occurs within the tube, the increased anode current flows through the resistor which absorbs much of the potentially harmful energy surge. The resistor is a disk resistor having two counter-wound planar spirals of resistance wire electrically connected in parallel and counter-wound with respect to one another. Connection arrangements are provided to both electrically and mechanically connect the resistor to the high voltage tube.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 25, 1991
    Date of Patent: July 20, 1993
    Assignee: Maxwell Laboratories, Inc.
