Abstract: A sensor 100 for sensing an electric field includes a movable sensor probe 110, 110' including one or more pair, typically three pair, of electrically conductive electrodes 110x, 110y, 110z, and may include one or more pair of selectively switchable auxiliary electrodes1110. The probe 100, 100' is movable and may be mounted on a vehicle or trailer150. A processor 200 may process electric field signals from the probe 110, 110' for providing a human perceivable indication of the electric field. The processor 200 may perform a Fast Fourier Transform 224 of the electric field signals to produce an indication of the magnitude of the electric field, and may perform unweighted and/or weighted averaging 228, 231 in relation to processing electric field data, setting a comparison threshold, providing a human perceivable indication, or a combination of the foregoing. A speed at which the sensor probe 110, 110' is moving may be utilized in processing the data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding a data sequence is disclosed. A data sequence is received. The data sequence is encoded such that the encoded data sequence comprises a plurality of data elements having assigned priorities. Data packets are generated using the encoded data sequence (220), where each data packet comprises only data elements of identical priority. The data packets are tagged with a priority descriptor indicating the priority of the data elements contained therein. Also disclosed is a method and apparatus for processing at least one packet. At least one packet is received, where each packet includes a priority descriptor that indicates a priority of at least one data element contained therein. Packets may then be selectively discarded based upon the priority descriptor.

Abstract: A mobile apparatus and method for monitoring and controlling the detection of stray voltage anomalies is provided. The mobile apparatus is comprised of a detection system unit and an imaging system unit that are configured, respectively, to provide streaming data of electric tield measurements and corresponding video image frames of a particular scene being patrolled and examined for anomalies. Data from both the detection system unit and the imagining system unit are synchronized and provided to a video based graphical user interface (VGUI) to enable an operator of the VGUI with a "moving chart" graphical display of electric field strength overlaid on video image frames of a particular location in the scene at the time of the measurement. The VGUI is additionally configured with an audio tone having a pitch that is proportional to the measured electric field strength to aiert the operator of a potential anomaly. Upon detection of an anomaly, the operator may employ the use of features av ailable on the VGUI to playback captured signal strength measurements and their corresponding video imagery for purposes of isolating the source of the anomaly.
