  • Oil quality sensor
    Patent number: 11982665
    Abstract: A sensor for monitoring the quality of oil in mechanical machinery is provided. The sensor includes a portion that is sealed from the oil which contains electric circuitry to process signals received from the sensing elements. Another portion of the sensor is exposed to the oil and contains one or more sensing elements to sense one or more properties of the oil. The sensed properties may include electrical properties, temperature properties and/or optical properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2024
    Assignee: Dodge Industrial, Inc.
    Inventors: Erald Pjetri, Stefan Pypec, Artur Rdzanek, Brandon LeRoy, Greg Hewitt, Isaac O'Brien-Herr
