ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 5 -- United States Patent no. 12,699,117, issued on Aug. 4, was assigned to ATEQ (Les Clayes-sous-Bois, France).

"Active probe for measuring voltage at high impedances" was invented by Thierry May (Les Clayes-sous-Bois, France).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An active probe (1) for measuring a voltage across a high value impedance, the active probe (1) including: an impedance matching circuit (10) configured to have an input impedance at least 100 times higher than the impedance to be measured, and to deliver a low impedance signal at the output; a probe tip (6) configured to take a measurement and connected to the impedance matching circuit (10); a ground reference (G) c...
