  • Method and apparatus for measuring a transfer impedance of shielded devices and common mode currents in shieldings
    Patent number: 6140823
    Abstract: A method for measuring a common mode current (Icm) in an outer conductor of a shielded electrical connector comprising also at least one inner conductor which includes the steps of interconnecting the one inner conductor and the outer conductor at a junction point to a power source and supplying a current (Icm) to the junction point draining substantially all common mode current (Icm) from the outer conductor at the opposite side of the connector by means of a low impedance drain; and sensing the drained common mode current (Icm) with a current sensing device.

    Assignee: Berg Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Pieter Cornelis Tobias Van Der Laan, Alexander Petrus Johannes Van Deursen, Franciscus Bernardus Marie Van Horck, Bernardus Lambertus Franciscus Paagman
  • System for treating gases or fluids with pulsed corona discharges
    Patent number: 6033565
    Abstract: System for treating gases or liquids by corona discharge, comprising: a) a corona discharge space through which the gases or fluids to be treated are guided; b) a corona wire inside the corona discharge space; c) a source for supplying high voltage pulses, whereby the output of the source is connected to the corona wire; d) sensors for measuring the power dissipated in the corona discharge space; e) an electromagnetically compatible case.
