Patent number: 9395399Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for analyzing at least one characteristic of a test signal coupled out from one of a plurality of cable lines by a coupling unit to determine whether that test signal has propagated directly to the coupling unit via a single cable line or has propagated indirectly to the coupling unit via one or more coupling paths between different cable lines. The determination of whether the test signal has propagated directly to the coupling unit via a single cable line or has propagated indirectly to the coupling unit via one or more coupling paths between different cable lines, may advantageously be used for operational or diagnostic purposes, e.g. to identify interconnections between ports in a network.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2012Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: CABLE SENSE LIMITEDInventors: Anthony Peyton, John Kelly

Patent number: 9124530Abstract: An apparatus for identifying interconnections in a network. The apparatus comprises a plurality of transmitter coupling units, a plurality of receiver coupling units, and an interconnection identification means configured to identify interconnections between the transmitter coupling units and the receiver coupling units by cable lines in the network. In some embodiments, the interconnection identification means is configured to, if any one of the transmitter coupling units is coupled to the same cable line as a selected one of the receiver coupling units, identify the interconnection between the transmitter coupling unit and the selected receiver coupling unit according to by a binary tree search algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2011Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: Cable Sense LimitedInventors: Anthony Peyton, John Kelly

Patent number: 8217734Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for coupling a signal to and from a twisted pair cable by non-contact coupling with twisted pairs in the twisted pair cable, such that the signal propagates along the cable between at least two of the twisted pairs. In particular, a coupling unit for coupling a voltage signal to and/or from such a cable, the coupling unit having a first electrode and a second electrode. The electrodes may be electrically isolated from a voltage signal generator and/or a voltage signal processor.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2011Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Cable Sense LimitedInventors: Anthony Peyton, John Kelly

Publication number: 20110209540Abstract: A method of testing the through cut of a pipeline comprising at least the steps of: (a) transmitting an electromagnetic signal through the pipeline; (b) monitoring any reflected signal(s); and (c) interpreting the or each reflected signal to test for the through cut of the pipeline. In this way, a non-invasive electromagnetic signal can be passed through, along, across or otherwise within the pipeline, and any reflected signal(s) can be interpreted and analysed based on one or more characteristics of the received signal(s) to ascertain the change in the conductivity of the pipeline due to the cutting thereof, in particular when or whether the cutting of the pipeline is complete or has been completed such that there is a through cut.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2009Publication date: September 1, 2011Applicant: GENESIS OIL & GAS CONSULTANTS LIMITEDInventors: Steve Banks, Peter Robinson, Anthony Peyton, David Armitage
