Latest Patents
Christopher M Condon holds a patent for a "Capacitance probe for detection of anomalies in non-metallic plastic pipe." This invention relates to the analysis of materials using a capacitive sensor to detect anomalies through the comparison of measured capacitances. The capacitive sensor is employed alongside a capacitance measurement device, a location device, and a processor to generate a capacitance versus location output. This output can be inspected for the detection and localization of anomalies within the material under test. The components of this system can be carried as payload on an inspection vehicle that traverses through the interior of pipes, allowing for the evaluation of non-metallic or plastic pipes when the exterior is not accessible. In one embodiment, the supporting components are solid-state devices powered by a low voltage on-board power supply, making them suitable for use in environments where voltage levels may be restricted.
