  • Heat detecting apparatus and method
    Patent number: 4091657
    Abstract: Apparatus and a method are disclosed for localizing excessive temperature occurring at any point along a path. In particular, a substantially constant pressure gas is applied via an orifice to a closed tubing which extends along the path. The tubing is selected to rupture at the predetermined excessive temperature. The approximate location of the rupture is determined by measuring the differential pressure across the orifice after a rupture occurs.

  • Gas detecting apparatus and methods
    Patent number: 3964292
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for detecting a particular gas occurring at any point along a path through a given environment. A tubing having a wall through which the particular gas readily permeates is provided for placement along the path of interest. This tubing is structured so that the particular gas can enter the tubing only by permeating the tubing wall. Detection of the gas and the approximate location of permeation is achieved by withdrawing gases from within the tubing while monitoring both the withdrawn gases and the elapsed time.
