  • Publication number: 20240293927
    Abstract: A hot stick protection assembly for protection of upper and lower ends of an electrician's hot stick when being stowed or transported, the protection assembly, including a first protection guard having a generally ring-shaped configuration that includes an inner surface that defines a central bore for selectively mating with the upper end of the hot stick. I the first protection guard includes an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The first protection guard includes a holder portion extending laterally away from the outer surface and that defines an inset channel having an upstanding configuration. Further, the hot stick protection assembly includes a second protection guard comprising a tube cap defining an open top and configured to selectively engage a lower end of the electrician's hot stick in a friction fit attachment.

  • Patent number: 11618590
    Abstract: A support frame is provided that includes an upper plate, a lower plate, side support members, an upper support structure, and a lower support structure. The upper plate defines a first inner surface and an opposed first outer surface. The lower plate defines a second inner surface and an opposed second outer surface. A TEM test space is defined between the first inner surface and the second inner surface. The side support members are disposed between the upper plate and the lower plate proximate a periphery of the test space. The upper support structure is coupled to and supports the upper plate. The upper support structure extends from the first outer surface of the upper plate. The lower support structure is coupled to and supports the lower plate. The lower support structure extends from the second outer surface of the lower plate.

  • Patent number: 10870499
    Abstract: A source assembly is provided for a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) system. The source assembly includes a first guide and a second guide. The first guide is configured to receive a signal from a supply, and includes a first shell defining a first cavity. The first guide is configured to extend proximate an upper plate of the TEM system. The second guide is configured to receive a reference signal from the supply. The second guide includes a second shell defining a second cavity. The second guide is configured to extend proximate a lower plate of the TEM system, and is spaced a distance from the first guide to define a gap having a gap width. At least one of the first guide or second guide includes an access opening configured to provide access to at least one of the first cavity or the second cavity.

  • Patent number: 10782332
    Abstract: An assembly is provided for a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) system. The assembly includes a support frame and at least one resistive sheet. The support frame includes an upper plate and a lower plate. The upper plate defines a first inner surface and an opposed first outer surface. The lower plate defines a second inner surface and an opposed second outer surface. The at least one resistive sheet is coupled to at least one of the upper plate or the lower plate, and extends parallel to the upper plate and lower plate from an exterior of the support frame. The resistive sheet has an inner end disposed proximate the at least one of the upper plate or lower plate and an outer end disposed opposite the inner end, and has a variable resistance that is greater at the outer end than at the inner end.
