Patents by Inventor James Edward Tillman

James Edward Tillman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20100030475
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for source area contamination data acquisition, analysis and processing. The present invention leverages and expands direct sensing technology, knowledge and experience to provide detailed, real-time images of subsurface conditions. The latest technologies in sensors, digital processing, computation and 3D visualization are used to enable clients to work with a single contractor who can perform data acquisition, processing and analysis necessary to produce quantifiable, user-friendly 3D maps on a daily basis which can be delivered via the Internet and/or to mobile devices. This allows the owner and site project manager to make timely decisions as they guide investigation, remediation and monitoring efforts.

  • Patent number: 7425307
    Abstract: An enhanced scanning solutions module is disclosed including a flow control subsystem; a detector subsystem coupled to the flow control subsystem; a dryer/moisture separator subsystem coupled to the flow control subsystem; a sampling subsystem coupled to the flow control subsystem; and a software control subsystem coupled to the flow control subsystem, the detector subsystem, the dryer/moisture separator subsystem, or the sampling subsystem. The module can include a sampling subsystem having: a sample loop; an absorbent trap; or a gas chromatography injection port. The module can further include an exhaust; a pneumatic supply; a power supply; a bypass module; a feedback signal; or a pressure control subsystem.

  • Patent number: 7221171
    Abstract: An enhanced membrane interface probe (MIP) is disclosed including: a modular membrane interface probe (MIP) sensor constructed from a plurality of modular components allowing field serviceable replacement of any malfunctioning components of the plurality of modular components. The modular MIP can include: an external barrel having a cavity; or (or throughout means and/or, i.e., a logical or operation) an inner core barrel assembly field-insertable into the cavity having a heater cavity, where the heater cavity is adapted to receive a field-insertable removable cartridge heating element. The modular MIP can include a removable conductivity nose assembly, a field-insertable removable cartridge heating element, or a waterproof electrical connector and/or an o-ring seal.
