In November 2008, the enterprise standard for DEAN Technology's continuous distributed all-fiber temperature sensing instrument was revised and filed.
The 2008 enterprise standard revision provides documented evidence of DEAN Technology's early development activities in distributed fiber optic temperature sensing.
Distributed fiber optic temperature sensing uses optical fiber as a continuous sensing medium, enabling temperature measurements to be obtained at multiple locations along the monitored fiber.
This approach is particularly suitable for applications requiring continuous temperature monitoring over extended distances or across large infrastructure assets.
The word “revised” in the original 2008 record indicates that an enterprise standard for the instrument already existed at that time. However, the available historical record does not specify when the original standard was first established.
A later company record shows that a new enterprise standard for DEAN Technology's distributed fiber optic temperature sensing instrument was filed on November 14, 2012.
Together, these records provide a documented history of DEAN Technology's work in distributed fiber optic temperature sensing dating back to at least 2008.
DEAN Technology has continued to develop distributed fiber optic sensing and monitoring technologies since these early milestones.
Today, distributed temperature sensing technology is used for continuous temperature monitoring across industrial and critical infrastructure applications where temperature conditions need to be monitored over extended distances.
The 2008 enterprise standard revision therefore represents an important early milestone in DEAN Technology's documented development of distributed fiber optic temperature sensing technology.
