West Valley City, Utah Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Zaxis Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its innovative volumetric detection system. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent Application No. 20240085266, titled ‘Systems and methods for providing a volumetric detection system’, introduces a leak testing device that operates without the need for an external compressed air source, enhancing precision and efficiency in quality control processes.
Traditional leak testers often rely on external air supplies, which can introduce variability and complexity. Zaxis’s system employs a programmable stepper motor to control a piston within a containment chamber, allowing for precise manipulation of internal volume. This design enables the device to generate consistent test conditions independently, improving reliability across various applications.
The system features a sensing unit that measures backpressure from the device under test, providing real-time data to a computational unit. This unit analyzes pressure changes over time, offering detailed insights into potential leaks or defects. The integration of these components allows for accurate detection of minute leaks, ensuring product integrity.
By eliminating dependence on external air sources and incorporating advanced control mechanisms, Zaxis’s volumetric detection system offers a streamlined solution for industries requiring stringent leak testing standards. Its adaptability makes it suitable for sectors such as medical device manufacturing, automotive, and consumer electronics, where precision and reliability are paramount.
This patent underscores Zaxis Inc.’s commitment to advancing leak detection technology, providing tools that enhance product quality and manufacturing efficiency.
