Latest Patents
One of his notable patents is a circuit protection device. This invention includes multiple embodiments of a device designed to protect components in a circuit. Each embodiment features a temperature-responsive electrical regulating component made from conductive polymer or ceramic material. This material has an electrical regulating capability that depends on temperature, along with at least one series-connected switch that includes trip means responsive to temperature for reliable circuit operation. The device is adaptable for connection in the circuit to be protected, with various arrangements of the temperature-responsive component and the switch.
Another significant patent is the conformable electromagnetic shield. This invention consists of a sleeve designed for installation on an electrical conductor to shield it from electromagnetic interference (EMI). The sleeve is made from a heat-recoverable tubular member with a large central opening for the conductor. The interior is lined with conductive leaves or pellicles, which are adhered at one margin and remain overlapping. When energy is applied, the sleeve shrinks to uniformly encircle the conductor, creating an electrically conductive shield. A fusible coating on the pellicles enhances the structural and electrical continuity of the shield.
