A safety interlock is a normally open valve that closes in the event of a process upset. Usually it is attached to electronics that perform logic operations on process conditions, and only trips (closes) in the event that exceeding those conditions will cause harm to equipment or personnel.

Can you describe shielding and grounding for electronic instrumentation?

The purpose of shielding is to reduce or eliminate noise currents from coupling into electrical measurements. It surrounds the electrostatic shield, protecting the instrument user from hazardous voltages. Instrumentation is safety grounded at the power inlet, ensuring that the metal instrument enclosure is always safe to touch.

How do you bypass the parking brake for an after-market in-dash DVD player?

Disabling the parking brake interlock for in-dash DVD players is against the law in many jurisdictions. The interlock is there as a safety feature and should not be adjusted in any way. The interlock is a safety feature to avoid distracting a driver while driving. However in some older vehicles it is necessary to attach the parking brake wire to a switch to ground. The switch is to maintain legality as one cannot watch a movie while driving.
