Title: Innovations by Gordon L Hayward

Introduction

Gordon L Hayward is an accomplished inventor based in Kitchener, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the field of cooking oil quality measurement. His innovative approach combines advanced technology with practical applications in the culinary industry.

Latest Patents

Gordon L Hayward holds a patent for a "Method and apparatus for measuring quality of frying/cooking oil/fat." This invention provides a method and apparatus for measuring the quality of cooking or frying oil in situ. The oil quality sensor apparatus utilizes simultaneous monitoring of changes in capacitance and optical transmission of the oil within the cooking or frying temperature range. The sensor monitors both the chemical degradation and sensory acceptance of the oil. A large, high surface area, and multi-plated parallel plate capacitor is employed to measure capacitance, providing a reliable measure of the concentration of total polar materials in the high polar region. Additionally, a diode laser operating at a wavelength of 675 nm and a photodetector are used to measure the transmittance of the oil in situ, with a microprocessor processing the transmittance and capacitance data. The sensor is programmed to indicate when the oil should be replaced if either a preset minimum safe percent transmittance threshold is exceeded or a change in capacitance exceeds a preset threshold value.

Career Highlights

Throughout his career, Gordon has demonstrated a commitment to innovation and quality in the culinary field. His work has not only advanced the technology used in cooking oil measurement but has also contributed to safer cooking practices.
