  • Self-orienting buried marker
    Patent number: 10845504
    Abstract: A marker for burying adjacent an underground structure such that a location of the underground structure can be identified from above a ground surface. The marker comprises a housing, a gimbal beacon retention device pivotally disposed within the housing, and a beacon device carried by the gimbal beacon retention device. The gimbal beacon retention device is structured and operable to orient the beacon device in a desired orientation relative to a ground surface regardless of the orientation of the housing relative to the ground surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Self-orienting buried marker
    Patent number: 10557913
    Abstract: A marker for burying adjacent an underground structure such that a location of the underground structure can be identified from above a ground surface. The marker comprises a housing, a self-orienting beacon retention device disposed within the housing. The self-orienting beacon retention device comprises a coil bobbin, and an inductance-capacitance beacon device carried by the self-orienting beacon retention device. A coil of the LC beacon device is disposed around an exterior surface of the coil bobbin. The self-orienting beacon retention device is structured and operable to orient the coil bobbin and the inductor coil in a desired orientation relative to a ground surface regardless of the orientation of the housing relative to the ground surface.

  • APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A STRESS TEST TO ISOLATE AND MEASURE NOISE IN A PAIRED LINE AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING A STRESS TEST TO ISOLATE AND MEASURE NOISE IN A PAIRED LINE
    Publication number: 20090102490
    Abstract: The present invention provides a circuit for performing a stress test on a paired line. The circuit provides for first and second balanced outlet pathways for applying an AC signals to the paired line. Although each of these first and second balanced outlet pathways include balanced capacitors, the need to vet these capacitors in order to achieve proper operation of the circuit is eliminated.
