| 20120109588 | MANUFACTURE OF HEAT TRACE CABLE, DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND MANAGEMENT, AND METHOD THEREOF - The manufacture and installation of heat trace systems, particularly cables, are controlled from comprehensive controls in the design and management of the heat trace systems. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120018421 | MINERAL INSULATED SKIN EFFECT HEATING CABLE - A skin-effect heater cable has inorganic ceramic insulation. The heater cable has at least one core conductor wire within a sheath. Electricity is directed through the core conductor in an outward path and returns along a surface “skin” of the sheath in a return path for generating heat. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110202292 | SENSOR-POWERED WIRELESS CABLE LEAK DETECTION - Techniques for leak detection are described. A leak detection module may include a plurality of wires comprising one or more collection points. The leak detection module may further include a capacitor configured to store a charge for powering the module during a power-off state and a plurality of switches to be controlled by a processor. The processor may initiate a predetermined switching sequence when a power-off state has been detected. During the switching sequence, leak detection data may be collected at the one or more collection points. The collected leak detection data may be stored in a set of registers. The leak detection module may transmit the stored leak detection data. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20100269917 | FLEXIBLE HEATED HOSE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A heated hose includes an inner hose ( | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100219849 | Sensor for Detecting Organic Liquids - A sensor for detecting the presence of an organic liquid. The sensor includes an a elongate substrate having a first and second opposed surface, and a first sensor surface disposed on at least a portion of the first surface of the substrate and a second sensor surface disposed on at least a portion of the second surface of the substrate. The sensor also includes a bridging electrode electrically coupling the first and second sensor surfaces, a first electrode disposed on the first surface of the substrate and electrically coupled to the first sensor surface, and a second electrode disposed the second surface of the substrate and electrically coupled to the second sensor surface. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100218597 | SENSING CABLE - A covered cable suitable for detecting the presence of corrosive liquids is disclosed. In an embodiment the cable includes two sensing wires wrapped around a core member, at least one of the sensing wires being surrounded by a non-conductive surface layer. In an alternate embodiment the cable includes two sensing wires wrapped around a core member, the sensing wires and core member being encapsulated by a non-conductive surface layer. Preferably, the cable includes insulating wires for detecting the location of a leak. When a corrosive liquid contacts the sensing wires of the cable an electrical connection is created between them. An interrupted covering covers the sensor cable. The resulting covered sensor cable is useful in wicking applications, and/or providing enhanced UV radiation resistance. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100084393 | AUTOMATIC HEAT TRACING CONTROL PROCESS - A method for controlling a heat tracing circuit automatically determines power off time durations. The method calculates the off time duration based on the temperature of a process pipe measured at the end of an initial predetermined power off time interval together with a particular process pipe set point temperature as well as a dead band temperature that is greater than the set point temperature. The set point temperature is based on the process media, heating cable parameters and installation environment of the process pipe. The power off cycle time duration is limited to the time it takes the process pipe temperature to reach the set point temperature, thus limiting the number of on/off cycles of the heat tracing circuit and consequently the life of the circuit components. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20090217999 | MULTILAYER HEAT TRACING INSULATION DEVICE AND METHOD - A heat tracing device has one or more heating elements positioned adjacent to a heatable surface, an aerogel high temperature insulation layer adjacent to the one or more heating elements, a low temperature insulation layer adjacent to the aerogel high temperature insulation layer and a locking mechanism effective to fix the position of the low temperature insulation layer to the aerogel high temperature insulation layer. | 09-03-2009 |
