  • Patent number: 7965764
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for capturing an analog waveform on a serial bus. The method comprises the steps of designating a predetermined digital data sequence, decoding a serial data signal carried on a serial data bus, and comparing the decoded serial data signal to the predetermined digital data sequence. When it is determined that a portion of the decoded serial data matches the predetermined digital data sequence, the portion of the serial data signal corresponding to the matching portion of the decoded serial data signal is marked.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6980015
    Abstract: An interface board for probing a device under test having a having an array of connection points on a back side of a board to which the device under test is attached. The interface board is constructed upon a stiff layer having a plurality of pass throughs from a first side to a second side in a pattern matching the array of connection points on the board to which the device under test is attached. An array of pads are formed on a first side of the interface board, each pad having a controlled surface associated with one of the pass throughs.

  • Patent number: 3986693
    Abstract: A mounting bracket for assembling an auxiliary shock absorber to a vehicle chassis. In use, it is bolted to the underside of the chassis I-beam. The bracket has a mounting plate, a part of the upper surface thereof confronting the underside of the I-beam. An upstanding flange abuts the I-beam and aligns the bracket with respect to the I-beam and also divides the mounting plate between its confronting and non-confronting surfaces. A pair of support plates accommodate an auxiliary shock mounting boss. A bolt is inserted through the support plates and the mounting boss. A pair of flanges are mounted edgewise to the mounting plate and extend below the mounting plate, providing structural reinforcement for the bracket.
