Latest Patents
One of Jonathan Knoll's notable patents is for a "Resistor shield to minimize crosstalk and power supply interference." This invention addresses the challenges posed by electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in power meters. The shield is designed to protect high-value input resistors from unwanted effects, ensuring that measurements remain accurate. The design includes multiple printed circuit board (PCB) shields arranged strategically between input resistors. Each PCB shield features a conductive layer that effectively shields against unwanted energy. The arrangement of resistors in a diagonal or parallel manner between the PCB shields prevents movement, thereby reducing pin fatigue and stabilizing parasitic capacitance. In another configuration, the PCB shield is flexible and snakes around the resistors, providing comprehensive protection from interference. This innovative approach contributes to achieving an overall accuracy of less than 0.1% in power meter measurements.
