==ASSEMBLIES, CIRCUITS, AND METHODS OF TRANSMITTERS BETWEEN DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT PROTECTION LEVELS IN A HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17792324 titled 'ASSEMBLIES, CIRCUITS, AND METHODS OF TRANSMITTERS BETWEEN DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT PROTECTION LEVELS IN A HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT

==Simplified Explanation==

The disclosure is about a transmitter assembly designed for use in hazardous environments. The assembly includes a transmitter with a transmitting unit and a probe, where the transmitting unit has an intrinsically safe circuit and is placed in a less hazardous area, while the probe is positioned in a more hazardous area with a higher equipment protection level. A separation assembly with a hermetic seal and a nut is placed between the transmitting unit and the probe to ensure electrical connection.

* Transmitter assembly for hazardous environments:
    - Includes a transmitter with a transmitting unit and a probe
    - Transmitting unit has an intrinsically safe circuit
    - Probe is placed in a more hazardous area with a higher equipment protection level
    - Separation assembly with hermetic seal and nut ensures electrical connection

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining where hazardous environments are common.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Ensures safe and reliable communication in hazardous environments
2. Protects equipment from potential damage in high-risk areas

== Benefits ==
1. Increased safety for workers in hazardous environments
2. Enhanced efficiency and accuracy in data transmission
3. Compliance with safety regulations in high-risk industries

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Enhanced safety and reliability make this technology valuable for companies operating in hazardous environments. A potential title for this section could be "Safety Solutions for Hazardous Industries."

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be similar transmitter assemblies designed for hazardous environments in industries like petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

== How does the separation assembly ensure electrical connection between the transmitting unit and the probe? ==
The separation assembly includes a hermetic seal and a nut that are electrically connected to both the transmitting unit and the probe, ensuring a secure connection.

== What are the specific industries that could benefit the most from this technology? ==
Industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and mining could benefit the most from this technology due to their high-risk environments and need for reliable communication systems.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

The disclosure relates to a transmitter assembly for a hazardous environment. The transmitter assembly includes a transmitter that includes a transmitting unit and a probe. The transmitting unit is configured to be positioned in a first area and includes an intrinsically safe circuit. The probe is configured to be positioned in a second area that is more hazardous and has a higher equipment protection level than the first area. The probe is electrically connected directly or indirectly to the intrinsically safe circuit. The transmitter assembly also includes a separation assembly positioned between the transmitting unit and the probe and including a hermetic seal configured to be electrically connected to the transmitting unit and the probe and a nut defining a tunnel sized to receive the hermetic seal therein. The exterior threads of the nut are complementary to threads on a partition wall positioned between the transmitting unit and the probe.
