  • Burnishing head
    Patent number: 7314404
    Abstract: A burnishing head comprises at least two rails, each rail having an inner wall and an outer wall. The outer walls are at an angle relative to one another and relative to a central axis of the burnishing head. This angle permits the burnishing head to exhibit improved recovery time if it contacts a disk being burnished. The rail walls are vertical, and the corner between the rail walls and the top surface of the rails is sharp.
    Type: Grant

  • Voltage measurement instrument having transient overvoltage input protection
    Patent number: 5920188
    Abstract: A voltage measurement instrument such as a digital multimeter is provided with transient overvoltage input protection. Internal walls are integrally molded with the instrument case and disposed in close proximity to the input receptacles and terminals to separate conductive surfaces and provide transient overvoltage barriers. Top and bottom wall portions are fitted together in tongue-and-groove fashion to increase the creepage and clearance path without increasing the linear distance between conductive surfaces. This arrangement also allows the instrument to maintain a low profile.
