  • Patent number: 9107057
    Abstract: In locating a transmitter, a central processor calculates a matched filter detector output for each of one or more candidate transmitter locations by applying a linear filter to low frequency magnetic field measurements obtained at a plurality of receiver locations. The central processor then determines the location of the transmitter based on the one or more calculated matched filter detector outputs. The linear filter is derived for the one or more candidate transmitter locations.

  • Publication number: 20100160537
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a sealer/primer that is generally cured at low bake temperatures. The composition utilizes a resin system to provide both conductivity and adhesion of the coating onto plastic substrates. The present invention uses a polyester, such as one that includes unsaturated polyester, in combination with other resins, including an acrylic, crosslinking agent and conductive pigment to create a conductive primer that can be cured at low temperatures. The composition can be applied through traditional application equipment, seals the surface of the substrate to which it is applied, and cures to an acceptable surface for further processing, such as painting.
