Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Man-portable locator systems for locating buried or otherwise inaccessible pipes, conduits, cables, wires and inserted transmitters using detector arrays and stochastic signal processing and similar techniques to analyze and display multiple target objects at differing frequencies in a layered user interface (UI) are disclosed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1 . A locator device, comprising: a sensor array for detecting a magnetic field from the buried object; a circuit for processing the received magnetic field to generate an output signal; a processor for receiving the output signal and determining information associated with the buried object based at least in part on the output signal; and a display for providing an output of the determined information associated with the buried object.
