Title: Howard B. Kroymann and His Patent Contributions.

Introduction

Howard B. Kroymann is an inventor associated with Menlo Park, California. His work includes inventions for monitoring physical parameters and detecting and locating temperature excursions. He is credited with 2 patents and worked at Raychem Limited.

Latest Patents

Kroymann’s patent portfolio includes two monitoring technologies.

“Cascade Monitoring Apparatus” describes a system of physical monitoring modules connected to master electronics. Each module combines a logic section and a transducer section. Clock pulses from the master electronics coordinate the passage of logic signals between modules, while activated transducers sense physical parameters and send electrical signals to the master electronics for monitoring.

“Bi-Directional Temperature Excursion Sensing and Locating Apparatus” uses a temperature-sensitive cable with three electrical conductors, including a linear strip capacitor and serially connected thermostatic devices. Under normal conditions, the system measures cable continuity and capacitance. When a temperature excursion causes one or more thermostatic devices to become non-conductive, the resulting change in continuity and capacitance allows control electronics to detect the event and estimate its location from either end of the cable.

Career Highlights

Kroymann’s listed inventions address practical monitoring challenges: tracking physical parameters across connected modules and identifying both the presence and location of temperature excursions along a cable. His work is associated with Raychem Limited.
