Introduction

Ross Edgar is an inventor associated with Overland Park, Kansas, and Fike Corporation. His patent work addresses pressure-relief safety and the detection of operating conditions in over-pressure relief devices.

Latest Patents

The provided information identifies one patent associated with Edgar: “Pressure relief device having conductive trace sensor formed thereon.” The invention combines a pressure-relief member with a rupture indicator. The relief member has a central rupturable section surrounded by an outer flange. The indicator uses an electrically nonconductive substrate with a cantilevered tab positioned above the central section, along with a conductive trace extending onto the tab. The trace forms an electrical circuit that can conduct a signal and detect a process condition associated with the device. Edgar is credited with 1 patent in the information provided.

Career Highlights

Edgar’s listed invention focuses on integrating sensing capability into a pressure-relief device. By placing a conductive trace on a substrate positioned near the rupturable section, the design provides a way to monitor a condition associated with the device’s operation.

Collaborations

The provided information lists Jason Gruner and Dean Miller as Edgar’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in developing the patent or whether they were collaborators on the invention.

Conclusion

Ross Edgar’s listed patent reflects an approach to pressure-relief safety that combines a rupture indicator with an electrical sensing circuit, and his work is associated with Fike Corporation.
