VISUAL SONIC CONDUIT LOCATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044697 titled 'VISUAL SONIC CONDUIT LOCATOR
Simplified Explanation
The visual sonic conduit locator is a device that helps locate conduits by using visual and audio indicators. It includes a conduit size audio filter control, sensitivity control, and visual indicators.
- The conduit size audio filter control optimizes the device for the size of the conduit being searched for.
- The sensitivity control detects a target sound and adjusts the visual display level accordingly.
- Visual indicators visually display the received audio level detected by the locator.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Construction and engineering: The visual sonic conduit locator can be used to locate underground conduits during construction projects, preventing damage to existing infrastructure.
- Maintenance and repair: It can be used to locate and inspect conduits for maintenance and repair purposes, saving time and effort.
- Utilities: Utility companies can use this technology to locate and map their underground conduits, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of accidents.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accidental damage: The visual sonic conduit locator helps prevent accidental damage to underground conduits by providing accurate and reliable location information.
- Time and cost savings: By quickly and accurately locating conduits, this technology saves time and reduces the cost of manual search methods.
- Safety: It improves safety by reducing the need for manual excavation and potential accidents associated with hitting underground conduits.
Benefits of this technology:
- Accuracy: The visual sonic conduit locator provides precise location information, minimizing the risk of errors and damage.
- Efficiency: It speeds up the process of locating conduits, allowing for faster project completion.
- Versatility: The device can be adjusted to optimize for different conduit sizes, making it suitable for various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
a visual sonic conduit locator includes a conduit size audio filter control, sensitivity control, and one or more visual indicators. the conduit size audio filter control is configured to optimize to the size of the conduit of interest. the sensitivity control is configured to detect a target sound and alter the amount of the target sound to that of a visual display level. the visual display level is represented by visual indicators. the visual indicators are configured to visually display a received audio level detected by the locator.
