MARKET ANALYSIS FOR THE MICOZED TIMEKEEPING AND GEOLOCATION SENSOR (TGS)

Strigel, Brian R

Abstract Details

2019, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Physics.
This paper presents a survey of possible applications for the MicroZed Timekeeping and Geolocating Sensor (TGS) developed by Professor Corbin Covault of Case Western Reserve University and his team. Professor Covault prototyped the device in 1996 at the Pierre Auger Observatory as a tool to count cosmic rays in his research and he has continued to develop the device. The paper investigates possible current markets for the device and considers its patentability. Markets considered include Box Synchronization for usage in Travelling Wave (TW) Fault Detection, electric trading markets, the Smart Grid, Microgrids, potential defense applications, Aviation and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology, Internet of Things, Geofencing, Microlocation, and Microlocation of Live Rescue Personnel. Although the author concludes that the device may not be patentable, the paper offers insight and a recommended path for the professor to take should he decide to commercialize the device for use in any of the mentioned applications.
