In a similar vein to the metal chains, some trucks may use static discharge strips. These are similar in concept to the chain, hanging off the back of the truck and dragging slightly along the ground.

So, how is a plane supposed to protect itself from the threat of static discharge all the way up in the sky? As we mentioned, nature throws problems at us, but we've always managed to find solutions.

Dr. Buhler has experience working with electrostatic discharge & ESD safety for the Space Shuttle Program, the International Space Station Program and the Hubble Space Telescope Program. He was also a ...

He quickly felt the expected pinch of static discharge. Next came a far more severe shock. Every LED on every switch in the rack changed from green, to orange, to black. "I think I went pale at the ...

Therefore, manufacturers of semiconductors have instituted static discharge ratings that range from 3000V to 5000V. Handlers of MOSFET semiconductors use grounding straps and conductive surfaces ...

With superior Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Electro Static Discharge (ESD) protection, the transceiver ensures stable and reliable data communication even in electrically noisy environments ...
