DETECTION APPARATUS AND STORAGE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18463577 titled 'DETECTION APPARATUS AND STORAGE APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The detection apparatus is designed to monitor corrosion in a target apparatus by measuring changes in voltage caused by exposure to the surrounding atmosphere.
- The detection apparatus includes a first resistance element connected to a power supply.
- A second resistance element is connected in series to the first resistance element.
- A detection unit acquires an intermediate voltage between the first and second resistance elements.
- The second resistance element is exposed to the surrounding atmosphere of the target apparatus.
- The detection unit detects signs of corrosion in the target apparatus based on changes in the intermediate voltage.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Monitoring corrosion in a target apparatus.
- Measuring changes in voltage to detect corrosion.
