Latest Patents
One of Ellingson's latest patents is the Gel-based marking system. This invention involves an apparatus and process for marking a surface with a highly visible and substantive mark. The system comprises mixing a dry granular, free-flowing superabsorbent polymer powder with liquid, preferably water, and dye to form a semi-solid gel. The gel is then deposited onto the surface to be marked. The marking apparatus includes a chamber for mixing the gel and a ram used to eject the gel from the chamber without excess mechanical agitation, ensuring minimal breakdown of the gel. The dye enhances the visibility of the gel, while its bulk makes it more noticeable. Importantly, the nature of the gel allows it to be temporary, as it can be easily dispersed over time with sunlight or water.
Another significant invention by Ellingson is the Multisensor vehicle-mounted mine detector. This device features one or more sensors that lead the vehicle to detect objects in the ground while in motion. A navigational system tracks the coordinates of the detected objects and performs data fusion to determine if the object is a target worthy of interest. If so, the vehicle stops, and a trailing thermal neutron activator sensor (TNA) is used to interrogate the object with slow neutrons to confirm whether it contains sufficient nitrogen to be classified as a mine. The TNA confirmation process is brief, utilizing a strong source coupled with means for analyzing resultant pulses and rejecting piled-up pulses. If a mine is confirmed, it is temporarily marked with a mixture of a dry granular, free-flowing superabsorbent polymer and dyed liquid to form a voluminous semi-solid gel.
