LIQUID DETECTION AND CORROSION MITIGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18141907 titled 'LIQUID DETECTION AND CORROSION MITIGATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, structures, and apparatus for detecting liquid, moisture, or contaminants in a connector.
- The innovation includes a connector with a dedicated liquid-detect contact that is not present in the corresponding connector.
- The liquid-detect circuitry in the connector can use the liquid-detect contact to determine if there is liquid on or in the connector.
- The circuitry can also perform self-diagnostic tests like continuity checks and calibration.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, structures, and apparatus that are able to detect the presence of liquid, moisture, or other contaminants in or on a connector. Examples provide a connector having a dedicated liquid-detect contact that does not have a corresponding contact in a corresponding connector. Examples provide liquid-detect circuitry that can use the liquid-detect contact to determine the presence of a liquid on or in the connector and can perform self-diagnostic tests such as continuity checks and calibration.
