  • Mineral insulated metal sheathed cable connector and method of forming the connector
    Patent number: 7622677
    Abstract: A connection for a mineral insulated metal sheathed cable, wherein the connection employs a compression fitting. The connection may make up two or more mineral insulated metal sheathed cables wherein one or more of the cables may be secured with a compression fitting. The connection may splice together two individual cables, or a cable to an electrical element.
    Type: Grant

  • Self-verifying temperature sensor
    Patent number: 5887978
    Abstract: A self-verifying temperature sensor and method for measuring and verifying the true thermodynamic temperature of a system. The sensor is constructed of various combinations of the following temperature-dependent elements: thermoelements, resistive elements, capacitive elements and other inductive elements. In the preferred embodiment, the sensor is constructed of resistive element connected between four thermoelement wires. A fifth thermoelement wire is connected to the resistive element. The sensor produces a data signature from various voltage, resistance, inductance, and capacitance measurements. Measurement electronics collect and condition the data signature. A computer analyzes the data signature and provides the system operator with a verified sensor temperature, thus, allowing the system operator to recognize and account for drift or decalibration of the sensor.
