Patent number: 11353369Abstract: Examples of a optoelectronic transducer module with integrated signal processing for use in thermographic temperature measurement are disclosed. The module includes a light source, an optical element to couple the light to an optical port, a connector configured to connect the optoelectronic transducer module to a fiber optic sensor, a detector to detect an emitted light from the fiber optic sensor and convert the detected emitted light into an electrical signal and a module processing unit coupled to the light source and the detector configured to convert the electrical signal into a set of digital results. The optoelectronic module is in communication with an external processing unit using a high speed circuitry for data aggregation and a low speed circuitry for configuration and firmware upgrade in the module. The opto-electronic module is replaceable during operation to avoid big downtime.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2021Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: Accelovant Technologies CorporationInventors: Ondrej Mecl, Noah John Joe Johnson, Kevin Matthew Weiss

Patent number: 11236267Abstract: Examples of a monolithic phosphor composite for measuring a parameter of an object are disclosed. The ceramic metal oxide phosphor composite is used in an optical device for measuring the parameter of the measuring object. The device comprises a fiber optic probe with a light guide, a light source operatively coupled to the fiber optic probe to provide excitation light into the light guide, a monolithic ceramic metal oxide phosphor composite functionally coupled to a tip of the fiber optic probe, a sensor operatively coupled to the fiber optic probe to detect the emitted light and a processing unit functionally coupled to the sensor to process the emitted light. The monolithic ceramic metal oxide phosphor composite can be embedded in a notch made into the object or can be adhered to a surface of the object with a binder.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: ACCELOVANT TECHNOLOGiES CORPORATiONInventors: Noah John Joe Johnson, Ondrej Mecl, Michael William Goldstein

Patent number: 10996117Abstract: Examples of an integrated active fiber optic temperature measuring device are disclosed. The integrated temperature measuring device comprises a fiber optic probe and an optoelectronic circuitry integrated into a single device which is then individually calibrated. The fiber optic probe has a fiber bundle with an active material at the tip of the probe. The optoelectronic circuitry is connected to the fiber optic probe. The optoelectronic circuitry includes a light source configured to provide an excitation light to the active material, a detector to detect the emitted light, a processing unit configured to determine a temperature based on a change in an emission intensity at a single wavelength range or the change in intensity ratio of two or more wavelength ranges, a lifetime decay, or a shift in emission wavelength peak of the emitted light, and a calibration means configured to calibrate the integrated active fiber optic temperature sensor.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2021Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: ACCELOVANT TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATIONInventors: Ondrej Mecl, Noah John Joe Johnson, James William Wiltshire Garrow, Michael William Goldstein
