Publication number: 20140115883Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous chemical leak detection cables that provide protection to sensor wires by using a conductive polymer coating that is resistant to corrosion by aqueous chemicals. In addition, non-conductive, liquid pervious layers may surround one or more of the sensor wires to assist in preventing false detection of an aqueous chemical leak as a result of various non-liquid contaminants. The non-conductive, liquid pervious layer may comprise spirally wrapped or braided, non-hygroscopic, non-conductive monofilament fibers, or a continuous, non-conductive pervious coating.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2014Publication date: May 1, 2014Applicant: RAYMOND & LAE ENGINEERING, INC.Inventor: Donald M.

Patent number: 8601679Abstract: Disclosed is a leak detection cable that has an outer jacket layer and a four wire construction in a flat wire configuration that is twisted in a helix. Detection cables are disposed on the exterior surface adjacent openings of the jacket to allow for detection of aqueous fluids. The wire is twisted in a helix to allow adjacent detector wires to easily detect aqueous fluids. Disparate materials are used for the jacket and the coatings of the wires, to allow the jacket to be easily removed from the wires without affecting the integrity of the coatings of the wires. The four flat wire configuration is sized and spaced for easy connection to an insulation displacement connector.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2011Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Raymond & Lae Engineering, Inc.Inventor: Donald M.

Publication number: 20130311634Abstract: Disclosed is a facilities management system that utilizes embedded maps in nested facilities management devices. The facilities management devices are connected to a network and are linked in map images that indicate the location of the facilities management devices, as well as the locations of sensors. In addition, the links indicate the existence of an alarm condition, so that users can drill down on the links to locate a sensor that has created the alarm condition. The facilities management system utilizes various management systems and various protocols to provide a wide range of options for facilities managers.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2013Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: Raymond & Lae Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Donald M.

Publication number: 20120098555Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid detection cable that is capable of quickly detecting the presence of liquid and resetting, so that the liquid detection cable can be reused after removal from the presence of a liquid. The liquid detection cable uses a reactive layer that has not been doped with a conductive material, rather, a conductive layer is used adjacent the reactive layer, which allows the reactive layer to react quickly and reset after removal from the presence of the liquid. A braided binder is also provided between sensor wires and the conductive layer to provide a layer of insulation, so that the liquid detection cable does not provide false alarms when an external force is applied to the cable.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2011Publication date: April 26, 2012Inventor: Donald M.

Patent number: 7212009Abstract: A fluid detection cable is described for use in detecting the presence of leaks in areas where a particular fluid is not desired. Sensing leads in the fluid detection cable have a center conductor that may be surrounded with a non-porous conductive polymer coating that protects the conductors from corrosive fluids. A non-conductive polymer at least partially surrounds the sensing leads so that a fluid transmission path allows fluid to contact the conductive polymer. The non-conductive polymer may be porous to provide a fluid transmission path. Fluid transmission paths may also be structurally formed in the non-conductive polymer. The non-conductive polymer protects the sensing leads from false alarms that would occur if the conductive polymer were to be in contact with non-fluid conductive surfaces. The cable may also include monitor leads that are conductors coated with, or embedded in, non-conductive non-porous polymers.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2006Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Raymond & Lae Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Donald M.

Patent number: 6144209Abstract: An elongated fluid detection cable is described for use in detecting the presence of fluid (e.g. water) in areas where fluid is not desired. The cable includes a non-conductive base and at least two conductive members (such as wires). The base is twisted about its longitudinal axis, and the two conductive members are protected from touching conductive surfaces. The cable is connected to a control system which will activate an alarm when fluid contacts the conductive members of the cable. In one system, the cable includes four conductive members.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1999Date of Patent: November 7, 2000Assignee: Raymond & Lae Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Donald A.
