SEAL-INTEGRITY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240295457 titled 'SEAL-INTEGRITY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
The patent application describes an apparatus with sensors and a processor to determine the seal-quality metric of a housing based on internal and external pressure measurements.
- The apparatus includes a housing, a first sensor for internal pressure measurement, an optional second sensor for external pressure measurement, and a processor for seal-quality metric determination.
- The first sensor is an internal pressure sensor inside the housing, measuring the internal pressure.
- The second sensor is an external pressure sensor located at an outside wall of the housing, measuring the external pressure.
Potential Applications: - Quality control in manufacturing processes - Monitoring of sealed containers in various industries - Leak detection in pipelines and storage tanks
Problems Solved: - Ensuring the integrity of seals in housings - Preventing leaks and contamination in sealed environments
Benefits: - Early detection of seal defects - Improved product quality and safety - Cost savings through efficient maintenance
Commercial Applications: Title: "Seal Quality Monitoring System for Industrial Applications" This technology can be used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and automotive for quality assurance and compliance with safety regulations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus differentiate between internal and external pressure measurements? - The internal pressure sensor is located inside the housing, while the external pressure sensor is placed outside the housing, allowing for accurate measurements of both pressures. 2. What are the main advantages of using both internal and external pressure sensors in determining seal quality? - By comparing internal and external pressure measurements, the apparatus can accurately assess the integrity of the seal and detect any potential leaks.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus of the subject technology includes a housing, a first sensor to obtain a first measurement, an optional second sensor to obtain a second measurement, and a processor to determine a seal-quality metric of the housing based on the first measurement and the second measurement. the first sensor can include an internal pressure sensor disposed inside the housing, and the first measurement can include measurement of an internal pressure of the housing. the second sensor can include an external pressure sensor disposed at an outside wall of the housing, and the second measurement can include measurement of an external pressure.
