Patent number: 5425867Abstract: A method for producing electrochemical impedance spectra. Spontaneously occuring coupling current noise between an array of electrodes which may be of substantially the same material is detected. A time domain record of the detected current noise is stored and the time domain record of the detected current noise is transformed to the frequency domain. Spontaneously occurring potential noise between the array of electrodes and a further electrode is detected. A time domain record of the detected potential noise is stored and the time domain record of the detected potential noise is transformed to the frequency domain. The frequency domain current noise and potential noise transformations are then transformed to the impedance domain to produce the required electrochemical impedance spectra.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1993Date of Patent: June 20, 1995Assignee: Capcis March LimitedInventors: John L. Dawson, David A. Eden, Richard N. Carr

Patent number: 5139627Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting and measuring localized corrosion of a metallic surface is described. An array of electrodes fabricated from the same material as the metallic surface is exposed to the same corrosion conditions as the metallic surface. The coupling current between two electrodes of the array is measured, and the electrochemical current noise originating in the electrode array is measured. The two measurements are compared, the electrochemical current noise increasing as compared to the coupling current as the degree to which corrosion is localized increases. The electrochemical current noise originating in the coupled array electrode and the associated electrochemical corrosion potential noise are produced by the natural corrosion processes.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 1990Date of Patent: August 18, 1992Assignee: Capcis LimitedInventors: David A. Eden, David G. John, John L. Dawson

Patent number: 5030045Abstract: A scored wall panel provides shallow grooves to simulate installed wall tile or the like. The shallow grooves are provided with an inner concave wall having a radius of curvature substantially exceeding the thickness of the panel and corners tangentially intersecting the inner wall having a radius of curvature substantially less than the thickness of the panel. The panel thickness varies from one location to another and the grooves are formed so that the variations in thickness of the panel do not cause variations in the width of the grooves. Further, the grooves are sufficiently shallow so that the material of the panel extending past the groove maintains necessary panel strength. The edges of the radiused corners remote from the inner surface of the grooves extend substantially perpendicular to the faces of the panel and are spaced from the rearward face of the panel by a distance substantially equal to the minimum thickness of the panel.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 1990Date of Patent: July 9, 1991Assignee: Commercial & Architectural Products, Inc.Inventors: John L. Dawson, David L. Bridges
