Patent number: 10527205Abstract: An integrated hose assembly, monitoring assembly, and method of use are disclosed. The integrated hose assembly includes a hose assembly including a hose having first and second conductive layers, the first conductive layer electrically connected to a nipple and the second conductive layer electrically connected to a socket. The first and second conductive layers are separated by an insulating layer. The integrated hose assembly further includes a monitoring assembly that includes a housing rotatably mounted around at least a portion of the hose assembly, a first wave contact seated within the housing and electrically contacting a first outer surface of the hose assembly that is electrically connected to the first conductive layer, and a second wave contact seated within the housing and electrically contacting a second outer surface of the hose assembly that is electrically connected to the second conductive layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Eaton Intelligent Power LimitedInventor: James Dean Betsinger

Patent number: 9535024Abstract: A monitoring circuit for detecting degradation of a hose assembly a hose assembly and a hose assembly incorporating such a monitoring circuit are disclosed. The monitoring circuit includes a voltage source connected to a first connection location of a hose assembly. A capacitor is electrically connected between the second connection location connected to the second conductive layer of a hose assembly and a ground. The capacitor is selected such that a change in resistance of the hose assembly changes a voltage carried by the capacitor. The monitoring circuit includes a voltage sampling circuit configured to periodically detect a voltage at the capacitor. Upon detecting a change in the voltage above a predetermined threshold, the voltage sampling circuit generates an alarm indicative of potential failure.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: James Dean Betsinger, Nicholas Adam Burtyk
