20100295699 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND MONUMENT FOR LAND SURVEYING - A monument usable for locating stationary geographical positions and/or assets includes a housing, comprising a body and a cap; at least one permanent magnet mounted on or in the housing; and at least one electronic marker located on or in the housing. The magnet has a magnetic field of sufficient strength for its location to be readily identified from outside the housing using a portable magnetic locator and the electronic marker includes an electronic transceiver for receiving and/or transmitting electronic information unique to the geographical location and/or functional properties of the monument or an asset associated with the monument. | 11-25-2010 |
20110181289 | LOCATOR ASSEMBLY FOR DETECTING, LOCATING AND IDENTIFYING BURIED OBJECTS AND METHOD OF USE - A locator assembly for the detection, location and identification of a buried object is provided comprising a sensor portion adapted to detect and measure the magnetic field strength of a buried object. A control assembly is connected to the sensor portion, wherein the control assembly is adapted to receive and analyze the magnetic field strength provided by the sensor portion to ascertain the location of a buried object. An identification portion is connected to the control assembly and operates independent of the sensor portion, wherein the identification portion is adapted to communicate with the buried object to ascertain the identity of the buried object. A method for the detection, location and identification of a buried object is also provided. | 07-28-2011 |
20140125457 | Underground Asset Management System - A system for managing underground assets with RFID tags provides for expanded virtual storage by wirelessly linking the field RFID tag reader to a centralized database through a unique series code in the RFID tag. Real-time updating of information about underground assets coordination between multiple users may be accomplished through use of the central database as an information broker | 05-08-2014 |
20150076221 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND MONUMENT FOR LAND SURVEYING - A monument usable for locating stationary geographical positions and/or assets includes a housing, comprising a body and a cap; at least one permanent magnet mounted on or in the housing; and at least one electronic marker located on or in the housing. The magnet has a magnetic field of sufficient strength for its location to be readily identified from outside the housing using a portable magnetic locator and the electronic marker includes an electronic transceiver for receiving and/or transmitting electronic information unique to the geographical location and/or functional properties of the monument or an asset associated with the monument. | 03-19-2015 |
20150248569 | Advanced System for Navigating Between, Locating and Monitoring Underground Assets - A marker for underground assets employs a long life battery to provide an active mode for recording data from a sensor or the like and/or for boosting transmissions after being activated by an interrogation signal, the long life battery greatly increasing the range of such underground markers. In some embodiments, the marker antenna may be automatically tuned for different environmental conditions of the underground marker. A field unit for locating the marker may provide for dead reckoning ability in the absence of reliable radio location. | 09-03-2015 |
