PROTECTING INSTRUMENTS USING MULTILAYERED PROCESS AND IR4 TECHNOLOGIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18085693 titled 'PROTECTING INSTRUMENTS USING MULTILAYERED PROCESS AND IR4 TECHNOLOGIES
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a computer-implemented method for inspecting and reporting water infiltration in conduit systems remotely.
- Visual readings of fittings inspected by a source at a remote location are captured and sent to a central site.
- One or more processors evaluate the visual readings to determine if infiltration by foreign matter has occurred.
- The cause of the infiltration is identified based on the visual readings.
- Infiltration information, including the cause, is generated and displayed in a graphical user interface.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Remote inspection and reporting of water infiltration in conduit systems.
- Use of visual readings to detect foreign matter infiltration.
- Centralized processing to identify the cause of infiltration.
- Generation of infiltration information for display in a graphical user interface.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries such as plumbing, construction, and infrastructure maintenance to detect and address water infiltration issues in conduit systems.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient detection of water infiltration in conduit systems.
- Identification of the cause of infiltration for timely repairs.
- Centralized monitoring and reporting of infiltration issues.
Benefits:
- Early detection of water infiltration to prevent damage.
- Improved maintenance of conduit systems.
- Enhanced efficiency in addressing infiltration issues.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be used by plumbing companies, construction firms, and facility management companies to offer remote water infiltration inspection services, improving maintenance practices and reducing potential damage.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on remote monitoring systems for infrastructure maintenance and water leakage detection.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in remote monitoring technologies, visual inspection tools, and water infiltration detection methods to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the system.
Questions about Water Infiltration Detection: 1. How does the system differentiate between normal water flow and infiltration by foreign matter? 2. What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the visual readings for detecting water infiltration?
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for inspecting and reporting water infiltration. A visual reading of a fitting inspected by the source at a remote location is received at a central site from a source. The visual reading is captured by the source, and the fitting is operable to monitor a conduit system at the remote location. A determination is made, by one or more processors at the central site based on evaluating the visual reading, that an infiltration by foreign matter has occurred in the conduit system. A cause of the infiltration is identified by the one or more processors based on the visual reading. Infiltration information is generated for the infiltration and the cause of the infiltration. The infiltration information is provided for display in a graphical user interface.
