Latest Patents

Palma’s listed invention, “Power pole system,” describes an energy transmission system built around a pole and one or more wires. Its sensing system monitors pole temperature, dynamic loading, external impacts, vibration, and downed wires. Line sensors and a powered data integrator are also included.

The system uses at least one dynamic pole loading sensor and a three-dimensional accelerometer. A loading sensor may be installed on the lower portion of the pole, above ground and no more than 10 feet high. An optional configuration uses two loading sensors: one aligned parallel to the pole’s longitudinal axis and another aligned perpendicular to it.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects an engineering focus on gathering information about the condition of utility poles and their attached wires. By combining pole and line sensors with data integration, the system is designed to support monitoring of transmission infrastructure.

Collaborations

The supplied information lists Bryan H. Pham and Viet Quoc Tran as Palma’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or the invention.

Conclusion

James Palma’s “Power pole system” brings together sensors and data integration to monitor important conditions affecting energy transmission poles and wires.
