  • Device for detecting an electrically conductive particle
    Patent number: 6859024
    Abstract: A device (10) for detecting the presence of an airborne, electrically conductive particle, the device including spaced conductors (24,26) and a circuit (12) for detecting when the electrically conductive particle forms a conducting path between the spaced conductors (24,26). The conductors (24,26) are provided in a grid (14) of alternate elongate conductors, and the circuit (12) applies a voltage to one set (24) of conductors sufficient to detect and destroy the particle when it creates a conductive path to the alternate set (26) of conductors.
    Type: Grant
