Latest Patents
Swiger is credited with 1 patent, titled “System and Method for De-Icing a Communication Tower.” The invention uses a de-icing assembly attached to a tower component. A pneumatic tube affixed to a backing member is periodically inflated and deflated by an air supply, helping dislodge accumulated snow or ice. A controller monitors sensor signals and initiates the cycle when it determines that accumulation is present on the tower component or de-icing assembly.
Career Highlights
The patent reflects Swiger’s contribution to developing a sensor-guided approach to maintaining communication towers in snowy and icy conditions. By using pneumatic tubes to remove buildup, the system is designed to help protect tower components and support reliable infrastructure operation.
Collaborations
Swiger is associated with Smr Technologies, Inc. His listed coworkers include Dewayne Bowles and Dakota Montgomery.
Conclusion
Thomas Swiger’s patented de-icing system combines pneumatic components and sensor monitoring to address snow and ice accumulation on communication towers.
