Title: The Innovations of Simon Higgins
Introduction
Simon Higgins is a notable inventor based in Johannesburg, South Africa. He has made significant contributions to the field of electromagnetic interference monitoring and fault location detection. With a total of 6 patents to his name, Higgins continues to push the boundaries of technology and innovation.
Latest Patents
Higgins' latest patents include a fault location detection system and method. This invention involves detecting an electromagnetic interference (EMI) signal and analyzing the spectral content of the electrical signal to identify faults. A location recorder captures the system's location when EMI signals are detected, while a processor analyzes these signals to determine the fault's location. Additionally, the system includes a memory that contains an aerial photograph of the geographic area where faults are to be detected, allowing the processor to overlay the fault positions on the photograph. A transparent intensity map is also superimposed onto a satellite photo, which is displayed to the user.
Another significant patent is the time domain electromagnetic interference monitoring method and system. This invention relates to a method and system for monitoring electromagnetic interference by capturing multiple time domain waveforms and scatter plots. The method involves applying a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to each waveform, storing the outputs in a database, and generating a statistically representative spectrograph or spectrogram. This process emulates the results produced by an EMI receiver or spectrum analyzer, ultimately combining outputs from several iterations to produce a final EMI spectrum.
