Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for calculating sheet conductivity with an absolute working distance measurement includes selecting a motor frequency f M for a motor having a first magnet disposed on a shaft, tuning a motor voltage V M for the motor, measuring a no-load power of the motor, inserting a material adjacent the first magnet, tuning the motor frequency to f M , measuring the on-load power of the motor, measuring the absolute working distance and calculating the sheet conductivity of the material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for performing a non-contact resistivity measurement of a sheet of material to be measured, the method comprising: moving, with a motor, a magnet in one of a linear direction and a rotational direction; determining, with a power measuring device, a first power value used by the motor in moving the magnet when in proximity to the sheet of material, and measuring a second power value used by the motor in moving the magnet when not in proximity to th…
