  • Patent number: 7488939
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for inspection of molded closures that would measure specific parameters of the closure on an on-line basis as they are ejected from an associated compression molding apparatus. Measuring specific parameters of the closure on an on-line basis identifies problems with specific tool sets, sub-systems, and process settings of the molding apparatus, thus substantially reducing the amount of scrap that is produced.

  • Patent number: 7415379
    Abstract: A testing device and method for testing a printed circuit board (PCB) for a remote keyless entry fob includes a battery simulator cell to simulate the effects of a remote keyless entry fob battery. The battery simulator cell is located in an upper portion of a testing device housing and is preferably a brass or copper mass of the same size, shape and mass of a typical battery. The lower portion of the housing has a mount for the PCB. At least one circuit board locator is mounted to the upper portion of the housing to apply pressure to the PCB to retain the PCB in the correct position during testing, and to ensure the proper distance between the PCB and the battery simulator cell. A receiving antenna is located proximate the test device for receiving a signal.
