Load-bearing apparatus/systems for location in the vicinity of energized power lines are provided. The apparatus includes a base member. The base member has an upper layer and a backing surface layer. An uppermost surface of the upper layer is adapted to support on it at least power line workers and/or related stringing equipment. At least the uppermost surface of the upper layer is adapted to be electrically conductive. Methods for forming the apparatus are also provided.

A fracturing well site system includes an electric-driven apparatus, a fuel-driven apparatus, an electric-power supply apparatus and a grounding system. The grounding system includes a first grounding terminal which is spaced from each of the electric-driven apparatus, the fuel-driven apparatus and the electric-power supply apparatus by a preset distance. The fuel-driven apparatus and at least one of the electric-driven apparatus and the electric-power supply apparatus are connected to the first grounding terminal, and the first grounding terminal is configured to ground the fuel-driven apparatus and the at least one of the electric-driven apparatus and the electric-power supply apparatus.

A structure for grounding an extreme ultraviolet mask (EUV mask) is provided to discharge the EUV mask during the inspection by an electron beam inspection tool. The structure for grounding an EUV mask includes at least one grounding pin to contact conductive areas on the EUV mask, wherein the EUV mask may have further conductive layer on sidewalls or/and back side. The inspection quality of the EU mask is enhanced by using the electron beam inspection system because the accumulated charging on the EUV mask is grounded. The reflective surface of the EUV mask on a continuously moving stage is scanned by using the electron beam simultaneously. The moving direction of the stage is perpendicular to the scanning direction of the electron beam.

An antistatic structure includes a casing, an element disposed in the casing, and a first conductive member disposed on an inner face of the casing and configured to send static electricity to a ground. The first conductive member is at least partially disposed around a region opposite the element in the casing.

A system may comprise a printed circuit board (PCB) including a top surface, and a bracket including a top surface configured to receive and couple to a key switch and a bottom surface including at least two protrusions that extend normal to the bottom surface of the bracket. The bracket can be configured to mount to the PCB such that the bottom surface of the bracket is coupled to the top surface of the PCB, and the at least two protrusions may each include conductive leads that couple to the top surface of the PCB. The bracket is configured to only cover a portion of a bottom surface of the key switch when coupled to the key switch. An LED can be mounted to the top surface of the PCB, laterally adjacent to the bracket, and under the key switch at a location not covered by the bracket.

A cosmetic handy ink-jet printer including an ink-jet head for ejecting an ink containing an inorganic pigment, an ink circulation device for circulating the ink, and a body deelectrification device for removing static electricity from a body of the printer. The ink circulation device includes an ink receptacle in which the ink is accommodated, and an ink circulation path through which the ink is circulated. The body deelectrification device is a capacitor or a grounded circuit.

A ground contact and a method for conducting electric currents from a rotor part of a machine to a stationary stator part of the machine, the rotor part having an axis or shaft, the ground contact comprising a holder device connected to the stationary stator part of the machine in an electrically conductive manner and a contact realized as a flexible conductor having a free end disposed on a circumference of the rotor part and an end fastened on the holder device, the conductor being inherently stable such that a contact force can be applied to a contact surface for establishing an electrically conductive sliding contact between a sliding contact surface of the conductor and the circumference of the rotor part. The conductor is bendable such that the free end extends in the direction of a rotational axis of the rotor part when disposing the ground contact on the rotor part.
