REDUNDANT VALVE POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18537996 titled 'REDUNDANT VALVE POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a device for determining the position of a valve using a current profile and an analysis module.

  • The device determines the position of a valve by analyzing the magnitude of current.
  • The device includes an analysis module that uses the current profile and the state of the valve to perform actions.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in industries where precise valve positioning is crucial, such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and water treatment.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately determining the position of a valve without the need for manual intervention or complex sensors.

Benefits

The device offers a more efficient and reliable way to monitor valve positions, leading to improved process control and reduced downtime.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Valve Positioning Device for Industrial Applications"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to valve position monitoring systems using different methods such as sensors or manual inspection.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device handle variations in current profiles?

The device may need to be calibrated or adjusted to account for different current profiles in various valve systems.

What is the impact of environmental factors on the device's performance?

Factors such as temperature, humidity, and electromagnetic interference could potentially affect the device's accuracy and reliability.


Original Abstract Submitted

One implementation is a device for determining the position of a valve. The device uses a current profile including at least the magnitude of current, and an analysis module for using the current profile and the state of the valve to perform at least one action.
