    摘要: The invention relates to a mobile detection device (1) for an evaluation of a distance value from the device to an occluded ac-current carrying structure according to its emanated magnetic field, like a location of underground services. The device comprises multiple detection coils (2a,2b) arranged with a spacing (3) with respect to one another and an electronic signal evaluation unit for detecting the structure according to an electrical signal induced in the detection coils (2a,2b) by the magnetic field and to evaluate the distance value according to a difference of the electrical signal in-between at least two of the detection coils (2a,2b).
    According to the invention, the device (1) comprises a calibration unit built to configure one of the detection coils (2a,2b) as transmitter for a calibration field (At,Bt) by applying an electrical excitation signal, which calibration field (At,Bt) is detected by the remaining of the detection coils (2a,2b) and whereof calibration parameters for the detection coils (2a,2b) are determined.

    摘要: Disclosed is a measurement system for measuring subsurface resistivity. The surfaces of interest are, for example, engineered surfaces such as roads and dams, and non-engineered surfaces such as greenfield sites. The measurement system may also be used on biological materials. The system (10) includes signal input electrodes (16a, 16b) for inputting an input signal into subsurface material by capacitive coupling. Pairs of signal detection electrodes (24a, 24b; 26a, 26b) allow capacitive coupling detection of a detectable signal caused by the input signal in at least some of the subsurface material. A phase-sensitive meter (30; 34) such as a lock-in amplifier is provided to measure the amplitude and phase of the detectable signal.

    摘要: In order to locate an electrically conductive object (2), such as a buried cable or pipe, the electromagnetic field generated by a current in the object (2) is detected by a detector having a plurality of spaced apart antennae (3, 4, 5). Those antennae (3, 4, 5) have aerial arrangements which are not all identical. In order for the location of the object (2) to be derivable by measurements by the antennae (3, 4, 5), two or more of the antennae together have at least four aerials (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15), with first and second aerials (11, 13, 14) measuring field components in a direction perpendicular to the direction of separation of the antennae, the third aerial (10, 12) measuring field components parallel to the direction of separation, and the fourth aerial (15) measuring the field components in a direction mutually perpendicular to the directions of the field component measured by the first, second and third aerials. Moreover, at least one antennae (3, 4, 5) measures a component in a direction not measured by at least one other antennae (3, 4, 5).

    摘要: A transmission enhancement system is used for strengthening low frequency cable locating signals on the metallic shields of long underground cables. The system includes equalization circuits on the cable armour or shield (10) at regular intervals, for example at splice locations. The equalization circuits includes an inductor (20) that significantly reduces the rate of attenuation of the low frequency tone signal and greatly enhances the strength of the signal at distances where the signal would otherwise be very weak or unusable. The equalization circuit may be a resonant circuit having a capacitor (24) connected in parallel with the inductor. The capacitor compensates for the inductor's attenuation of high frequency tones for local location purposes. The preferred embodiments of the equalization circuit include a surge arrestor (26) coupled in parallel with the inductor and capacitor.

    摘要: A system for detecting faults in the insulation layer surrounding a concealed conducting pipe (10) includes a signal generator (12) for applying an alternating current with a frequency of around 4Hz to the pipe, a magnetometer (102) for detecting the alternating current from the pipe (10) and a CPU (115) for identifying changes in the gradient of the detected current along the length of the concealed conducting pipe (10) which are caused by the faults in the insulation layer. The magnetometer (102) is used in connection with a locator(100) which detects a second alternatinq current applied to the pipe (10) by the singal generator (12), this second alternating current having a frequency of around 128Hz. The system can also use both these signals to determine the direction of the signals emulating from the pipe (10).
