Latest Patents
Hsiu Han holds a patent for a "Real time asphalt pavement quality sensor using a differential approach." This invention is designed to measure asphalt density in real time by utilizing a differential method. The system employs two sensors, one positioned in front of a roller and another behind it, to measure reflected signals from the asphalt. The difference in these reflected signals indicates the optimal compaction and density of the asphalt pavement. By analyzing the change in variance over successive passes, the invention determines when the optimal level of compaction has been achieved.
