 Patent 4975686: Process and apparatus for detecting pulses due to electrostatic discharges from furniture or human
The process according to the invention aims at detecting brief pulses due to electrostatic discharges from furniture or human beings that are likely to occur in the environment of computer hardware in the general sense.
The appearance of such a warning signal makes it possible to identify a pulse due to a so-called furniture or human electrostatic discharge, which is determined by a rapid variation of the electrostatic field giving rise to the appearance of a pulse of which the electromagnetic field that it generates is simultaneously detected.
In fact, it must be considered that an electrostatic discharge from furniture or human beings can be compared to a discharge of a capacitor of which the rise time is of the order of 1 nanosecond and the width at halfheight of the order of 30 nanoseconds.
