Title: Innovations of Steven Perry Sturm
Introduction
Steven Perry Sturm is an accomplished inventor based in Dublin, Ohio. He holds a total of 5 patents that showcase his expertise in web measurement systems and related technologies. His innovative contributions have significantly impacted the field of manufacturing and measurement.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method and apparatus for on-line web property measurement. This web measurement system monitors properties of a web during manufacture without chopping measuring radiation during web measurement. A single chop is performed at each sheet edge or every n sheet edge to measure edge temperature and edge thermal radiation for correction for Planckian radiation. Correction factors, including Planckian radiation correction factors, are derived for each point in a web profile. The measuring system also enables derivation of correction factors during operation in a single point and similar machine operating modes. Another notable patent is a measuring apparatus that includes an illumination unit with a source of electromagnetic radiation, fiber optic apparatus, and sensing apparatus. The fiber optic apparatus consists of a first fiber optic structure for receiving electromagnetic radiation emitted from the radiation source and directing it to a web of material, and a second fiber optic structure for receiving radiation reflected from the web and directing it to the sensing apparatus. The sensing apparatus includes detectors for sensing electromagnetic radiation of different wavelength bands and generating corresponding output signals indicative of properties to be measured of the web of material.
