More Information
Summary:A sensor array system capable of using electrical means to detect primarily the presence of, but not limited to, defects and leaks present in a structure and allowing for the localization thereof. The system is comprised of two networks of conductors separated by a composite, multipurpose interlayer, which is supported by a grid substructure. These components are arranged to form a grid of intersecting conductive elements where intersections between said elements from separate networks contain portions of the functional interlayer, whose electrical properties change upon exposure to a predetermined effect. Detection of such changes is enabled as the networks of elements are affixed to signal processing devices.
