Patents by Inventor Mark Wallbom

Mark Wallbom has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • System, apparatus, and method for utilizing geographic information systems
    Patent number: 9552669
    Abstract: One or more geographic limits of a view of a digital display device are determined based on a location and orientation of the digital display device. A least a location of a subsurface object within the view is determined, and a multi-dimensional first representation of the subsurface object is rendered in the view based on the location and depth such that the first representation indicates an actual location of the subsurface object within the view.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 2, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 24, 2017
    Assignee: UNDERGROUND IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES, LLC
    Inventors: Mark Wallbom, Gary Young
  • Detection of cross bores involving buried utilities
    Patent number: 8988969
    Abstract: Evaluating utilities involves generating an acoustic or seismic source signal, communicating the source signal to a first underground utility, moving a receiver through a second underground utility situated in proximity to the first utility, and monitoring for a cross bore involving the first and second utilities in response to receiving the source signal emanating from the first utility as the receiver progresses through the second utility. Utility evaluation may further involve detecting a cross bore involving the first and second utilities using monitoring data acquired by the receiver.
