en.Wedoany.com Reported - Microwave Techniques, through its wholly owned parent company The Elmet Group Co., announced that it has signed a final licensing agreement with Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) for the ARC Sentry arc detection technology. Brookhaven Science Associates operates Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).
The agreement grants Microwave Techniques a non-exclusive copyright license to manufacture and commercialize the ARC Sentry system. ARC Sentry is an arc detection platform designed to protect critical radio frequency infrastructure from damage caused by arcing in high-power environments. Originally developed for the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II), the system detects optical evidence during arc propagation and issues an interlock signal before hardware damage occurs, preventing further arc spread.
Henry Fries, Vice President of Engineering at Microwave Techniques, stated that integrating ARC Sentry technology into existing products enhances the company's ability to provide comprehensive RF protection and monitoring solutions for industrial, scientific, and medical applications. The agreement enables the company to leverage innovative R&D results to deliver next-generation high-speed protection devices to global customers.
Key technical features of the ARC Sentry platform include: a scalable architecture supporting up to 24 channels for comprehensive monitoring of waveguide and coaxial systems; SMA fiber optic pickups suitable for small-sized waveguides and confined spaces; detection speed optimized to identify arcs and trigger protective shutdowns within 3 microseconds; reduced false alarms through high sampling rates, processing events continuously before triggering an alarm; and an integrated proprietary graphical user interface (GUI) and control software for real-time system configuration and signal evaluation.
Under the terms of the agreement, Microwave Techniques will be responsible for the engineering, manufacturing, and global sales of the licensed product.
