The objective of the invention is a bi-level method for modeling geometric tolerances compatible with the ANSI / ASME tolerance standard. At the local level, the model represents each tolerance-zone for a plane or an axis (line) as a tolerance map, and it includes the computational techniques that relate interdependencies between these regions and subregions within them. The model includes formulations for variations in size, form, orientation, position, and runout, and combinations of these, because all of these variations can be modeled using points, lines, and planes. Since variations in simple profiles that are formed from lines and circular arcs also can be described by such combinations, they too are includable in the formulation. The primary method is to overlay the geometry of tolerance-zones onto some traditional modes for representing planes, lines, and points. At the global level, the model inter-relates all frames of reference on a part or an assembly.

Cathodic protection voltages are used to resist the damage to pipes or cables from electrolytic effects. However, localized fields can lead to stray currents and may result in corrosion and it is therefore desirable to detect and analyse those stray currents. Frequently there are several pipes in the area of interest and so it is necessary to distinguish between those pipes. Therefore the cathodic voltage on the pipes is modulated, with different pipes having different modulations. This modulation may be applied using an interrupter. Orthogonal modulations with non-unitary aspect ratios improve the discrimination between the pipes while maximizing the energy content of the modulation pattern. The analysis is improved when the interrupters are synchronized with each other and so repeating on the same time-base. This synchronization may be achieved using an external time signal such as GPS. An interrupter which can be used in this regard is also proposed, and may be powered from the cathodic voltage itself.
