US Patent:

52259960, Jul 6, 1993

Filed:

Mar 23, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/854729

Inventors:

Eugene H. Weber - Long Beach CA

Assignee:

Fugitive Emissions Control, Inc. - Long Beach CA

International Classification:

G06F 1520

US Classification:

364550

Abstract:

A portable subsystem carried by the inspector includes an identification scanner, an emissions sensor and a portable data collector. An inspector identifies the release point by use of a portable scanner and then tests the release point for leaks. The portable data collector stores the identification along with the emissions test data. At periodic intervals the portable data collector is connected to a main computer and the stored data is uploaded. The main computer analyzes the uploaded data for a pass or fail of the release point of the emissions test and issues the appropriate comparison results. Additionally, the severity of the leak is determined and remedial action is specified. This remedial action includes issuance of a repair report and updating the repair schedule, updating the inspection schedule for reinspection after repairs are completed and updating the inspection history. The computer maintains data sufficient to generate reports tailored to the requirements of government agencies.
