  • Acoustic detection in process environments
    Patent number: 10228351
    Abstract: An acoustic measurement system for an industrial process asset includes a process measurement device providing a value representative of an acoustic signal near the industrial process asset based in part on a signal from an acoustic sensor positioned near the industrial process asset. A second acoustic sensor provides an acoustic value and a noise reduction component uses the acoustic value from the second acoustic sensor to affect the value provided by the process measurement device so that the value provided by the process measurement device is more representative of an acoustic signal generated by the industrial process asset.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 24, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2019
    Assignee: ROSEMOUNT INC.

  • System for terminating optical cables
    Publication number: 20030209330
    Abstract: An integrated, automated system for terminating an optical fiber with an optical connector which includes an apparatus for preparing adhesive for injection into an optical connector, an apparatus for injecting adhesive into an optical connector, an apparatus for inserting a fiber optic cable into an optical connector, and an apparatus for curing an adhesive following insertion of optical fiber into the optical connector. Devices that utilize vibratory or wave energy throughout the assembly process are also provided, as are feedback modules that enhance the accuracy and efficiency of the system.
