Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate a testing of an unknown USB supply that is connected to a CPE (customer premise equipment) device to determine a current draw capacity of the USB supply. The CPE device may test the USB supply to determine whether the USB supply is capable of supplying a predetermined current. If the determination is made that the USB supply is not able to supply the predetermined current, an end-user may be instructed to plug an alternative PSU (power supply unit) into the CPE device, wherein the alternative PSU is capable of supplying the predetermined current to the CPE device. The CPE device may output an indication that an alternative PSU should be used via a graphics output to a display device through an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connection or via an LED indication using one or more LEDs at the CPE device.

Abstract: A testing table that allows testing lights along its length. The testing table can be used to convey lights along the direction, and to test the lights at different locations along the direction along the conveying. The lights can be cleaned and tested. Empty tubs can be returned.

Abstract: A method of measuring an anode current in an electron-multiplier device having an anode, a cathode, dynodes and a voltage divider network for applying voltages to the dynodes, which method includes applying an HV positive voltage to the anode and intermediate voltages to the dynodes, the cathode being at or near circuit ground potential, conducting dynode currents through or in parallel to the voltage divider to a point substantially at cathode potential, and deriving from those currents a current representative of the anode current.

Abstract: A monitor includes a display panel, a displaying circuit, a connector and a self testing circuit. The self testing circuit has a testing signal generator, a switch circuit and a detecting circuit. When the detecting circuit detects the video signals transmitted from the computer, the detecting circuit switches off the switch circuit so as to avoid the testing signal generated from the testing signal generator being transmitted to the input port of the displaying circuit. When no video signals transmitted from the computer are detected, the detecting circuit switches on the switch circuit to allow the testing signal generated from the testing signal generator to be transmitted to the displaying circuit.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for testing the video subsystem of a PC in a manufacturing environment. Hsync and Vsync signals from a VGA connector of the PC are input to first and second trigger inputs, respectively, of a monostable multivibrator (“MM”) of the test device to drive respective outputs thereof. In particular, the presence of Hsync at the first trigger input triggers the MM to output a positive pulse at a first output thereof; similarly, the presence of Vsync at the second trigger input triggers the MM to output a positive pulse at a second output thereof. Each of the first and second outputs is used to drive an LED, such that the presence of Hsync and/or Vsync results in the illumination of a corresponding LED.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous gel comprising a polymer of (meth)acrylamide or particular (meth)acrylamide derivative(s), particulate metal oxide(s) and an aqueous medium, a process for producing said gel, and products utilizing said gel.This aqueous gel can be produced so as to have transparency, has fire resistance and can prevent the spreading of flames, and is highly elastic. The aqueous gel, when produced as a transparent gel, becomes cloudy when heated or cooled and is useful for the shielding of heat rays or cold radiation.

Abstract: A circuit for measuring anode current in an X-ray tube having an anode and a heater electrode both operable at high voltage, includes a heater transformer generating current pulses with a timewise constant first pulse repetition frequency and an adjustable duty cycle, a first frequency separator connected in series with the heater transformer for receiving the output thereof, a high voltage-proof transformer having a primary winding connected in series with the first frequency separator, and separate first and second secondary windings, the first secondary winding being connected to the heater for supplying heater current for the X-ray tube, an anode circuit connected to the anode of the X-ray tube including a current/duty cycle converter generating a current with a constant second pulse repetition frequency different from the first pulse repetition frequency, the first secondary winding being connected to the current/duty cycle converter for supplying voltage from the high voltage-proof transformer, a second

Abstract: A television receiver and test set voltage analyzer includes a set of parallel connected switches which individually apply the various operating voltages to a readout device. The analyzer replaces a television picture tube so that the verification of the presence of all operating voltages indicates a failed tube while the absence of an operating voltage indicates a receiver or test set failure.
