Product Development and Project Management
Telecommunications
- Fiber Optic Sheath Removal Tool
IPEG developed the SRT-100.
It is a high-speed, battery-operated
tool that enables the technician rapid
entry into fiber optic cables. The
unit precisely cuts through the
plastic and armored metallic sheath
with speed, precision and
repeatability.
- Fiber Optic Acoustic Sensing System
Research study to review the
feasibility of employing optical
interferometric technology to provide
threat recognition and identification.
- Handheld RF-ID Unit for Cable Route Identification
Developed feature
specification, user documentation and
interactive training CD-ROM for a
portable hand-held device used by
telecom industry to track and maintain
knowledge base in outside plant
environment.
- Communication and Database Application
Managed the development of Win
NT software application that enables
centralized monitoring and management
of remote terminal units over the
public telephone network.
Pipeline
- Cast Iron Joint Locator Development
Supported distribution gas
company in the evaluation and
practical application of new
technology to detected buried cast
iron joints.
- Remote Corrosion Detector
IPEG provided customer to
developer project management and
product specification assistance for
the commercialization of a system to
identify active corrosion, disbonded
coating and provide corrosion rate
indication without the need for
excavation. Partners include U.S and
European gas companies.
- Remote, Above Surface Mapping of Pipeline Currents
IPEG managed key areas of a
development effort to commercialize
instruments that, without contact to a
pipeline, can determine the amplitude
and direction of currents plus
identify sections of pipeline effected
by stray currents.
- Non-Intrusive Pressure Monitoring System
Negotiating technology
transfer from leading pipeline company
to develop a system that will
non-intrusively measure pressure and
flow direction in gas transmission lines without hot tapping.
- Pipeline Valve Leakage Detection System
Involved in the technology
transfer from a leading pipeline
company to develop a system that will
non-intrusively identify leaking gas
transmission valves and determines
leak magnitude by using acoustic
sensing techniques.
