To be "Kelvined" means to use one pair of leads to supply the current
and another pair of leads to sense the voltage. Google "Kelvin four
point probe" and you will find several articles. This looked pretty
good when I gave it a quick scan.
Two-Point and Four-Point Methods for Measuring Small Resistances The
four-point resistance measurement method eliminates lead resistance or
... Special connecting clips called Kelvin clips are made to facilitate
this kind ...

This brings up a term for which I was looking for more information, but
couldn't find anything. I have an AppNote that says:
The traces to and from the FET's source and the VDDEXT supply pin on the
Blackfin processor should, if possible, be Kelvined to their power
supply to avoid transient effects on other devices connected to the same
supply.
What exactly does it mean to be "Kelvined" to their power supply?
