Latest Patents
Jeffrey Collette holds a patent for a "Test system for determining the orientation of components on a circuit." This invention is a tester that utilizes a capacitive probe to verify whether components with multiple power and/or ground pins are correctly oriented in relation to the signal-pin tracks on a circuit board. The tester connects to the signal-pin track, supplying a high-voltage test signal to the pin under test. It actively guards the pin by applying a signal to the remaining component pins, allowing for accurate detection of misorientation. The tester can also determine the degree of misorientation by comparing measured voltages with established rotation patterns.
