Patent number: 10116133Abstract: A system (116, 120) for electrically limiting leakage current in a patient-connected medical device (100). The system (116, 120) includes a first set (116) of one or more switching devices (118) that selectively connect a first power output (124) of a battery compartment (110) of the patient-connected medical device (100) with a first power input (126) of electronic components (102) of the patient-connected medical device (100) based on a first polarity of input voltage from the battery compartment (110). The system (116, 120) further includes a second set (120) of one or more switching devices (122) that selectively connect a second power output (128) of the battery compartment (110) of the patient-connected medical device (100) with a second power input (130) of the electronic components (102) based on a second polarity of the input voltage, wherein the first polarity is opposite the second polarity.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2012Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Dana Charles Finlayson, Andreas Richmond Knapp, Francis Kusti Makie

Patent number: 10056725Abstract: A wire harness adapter for use with an automotive throttle body wire harness system, the wire harness adapter including six wires spanning between a pair of wire terminals positioned in different ones of a pair of connectors, one male and one female. Viewed from the connector side where the pins are inserted to contact the wire terminal ends, the female connector includes a wire orientation whereby the wires proceed in F, D, E, C, B, and A order relative to a conventional A, B, C, D, E, and F order. The opposing male connector includes a wire orientation of A, B, C, D, E, and F. In this manner, the novel wire harness adapter can be plugged into the vehicle's original wire harness via one connector, and into a separate electronic component such as an electronic throttle body via the other connector to permit customization and personalization of vehicle performance characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Inventor: Darren L. Surratt
