Patent number: 10756777Abstract: A method for detecting an operational condition of a multi-conductor cable is described, and which includes generating a first, single ended, time domain reflectometer signal which is introduced into a multi-conductor cable; processing the first, single ended, time domain reflectometer signal so as to generate a first, differential time domain reflectometer signal; supplying the first, differential time domain reflectometer signal to the multi-conductor cable; converting a reflected, differential time domain reflectometer signal into a second, single ended, time domain reflectometer signal; numerically and/or graphically analyzing the second, single ended, time domain reflectometer signal; and identifying, by the numerical and/or graphical analysis, an operational condition of the multi-conductor cable undergoing the testing.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Mohr and Associates, Inc.Inventors: Charles L. Mohr, Brandt C. Mohr, Preston May, Tony Cottam, Erik Von Reis, Christopher Mulkey, Ryan Sams, Daniel Kenney, William Rausch, Kevin Dawes

Patent number: 7700537Abstract: A joint area formed by intersecting surfaces is provided with a caulk seal using a conventional caulking gun to apply an initial bead of silicone-based caulk to the joint. Thereafter, a spray of cleaning solvent is immediately applied to the caulk bead and the surrounding surfaces of the joint area to provide complete covering. Excess caulk is removed from the joint such as through finger wiping, to provide a smoothed caulk joint corner. A cloth fiber patch is soaked to saturation in cleaning solvent and is smoothly stroked across the smoothed joint surface to further finish the caulk material surface and to remove traces of excess caulk material from the adjoining or intersecting surfaces. In an exemplary embodiment, the cleaning solvent is used to caulk a tub and wall joint area of a typical bathroom facility and includes a formula of soft distilled water, glycol ether DPM, a surfactant and an antifoaming agent.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2007Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Inventors: Don Carlos Atkins, Jr., R.
