Sandia National Laboratories (Albuquerque, NM) has patented a product that can find potentially dangerous short circuits hidden in the miles of wiring behind the panels of aging commerical airliners. The Pulsed Arrested Spark Discharge (PASD) system sends a nanosecond pulse of electricity, fiercely propelled by a high voltage, along airplane wiring bundles. The tiny pulse is powerfully driven so that it can jump gaps in slightly frayed insulation but has so little energy that it is harmless.
