Patent number: 11768177Abstract: A sensor is provided for detecting small concentrations of volatile organic compounds in ambient air. The sensor has a lamp assembly and a gas sampling chamber assembly which are operatively associated. The gas sampling chamber assembly has an ionization chamber and an electrode assembly. The electrode assembly has sensing, counter and auxiliary electrodes and circuitry. The electrodes are positioned within the ionization chamber and are separated from one another.

Publication number: 20230064270Abstract: This disclosure relates to the monitoring and detection of corrosion and/or erosion of pipes, vessels, and other components in an industrial facility. The monitoring system may comprise of an arrangement of guided wave (GW) transducers and a longitudinal wave (LW) transducer affixed to the piping component to collectively measure for localized corrosion of the piping component without necessarily requiring a thickness map. The monitoring system may use an intelligent amplified multiplexer/switch to control the operation of the transducers that may be controlled and operated to generate waves in the kilohertz range and megahertz range with the same hardware.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2021Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: Molex, LLCInventors: Sascha SCHIEKE, Alexander S.

Publication number: 20210348919Abstract: A system for monitoring a thickness of an asset includes an ultrasonic measurement system and a multiplexer switch module connected by a primary two-conductor connection. The multiplexer switch module includes one or more individual switches that are connected to one or more secondary connections that each terminate in an ultrasonic sensing element. The ultrasonic measurement system includes a controller configured to send a switching command signal to the multiplexer switch module to selectively close an individual switch of the individual switches to connect the primary two-conductor connection with a respective one of the secondary connections. The ultrasonic measurement system is configured to send an electrical pulse through the primary two-conductor connection across the closed individual switch and through the respective secondary connection to cause the associated ultrasonic transducer to generate an ultrasonic wave.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2019Publication date: November 11, 2021Applicant: Molex, LLCInventors: Mariusz KLOZA, Raymundo VELARDE, Alexander S.

Patent number: 7359039Abstract: An electronic method for distance measurement based on pulsed laser time-of-flight is provided. The method comprises generating a wave of outgoing radiant energy pulses having a substantially stable period for providing a wave of pulses reflected from a target object and then measuring reflected energy from the pulse wave over a scanning time window. The scanning time window is shorter than the laser pulse time-of-flight to and from the measurement target. An offset between outgoing pulses and the scanning window is adjusted to capture reflected pulses at desired positions within the scanning window for selected conditions including when the outgoing wave is reflected from a reference surface and when the outgoing wave is reflected from the distance target. Distance is then calculated according to the offset and reflected energy data recorded for the selected conditions.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2005Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Inventor: Mariusz Kloza
