Title: Prototype design of silver hound device
Inventor: FALTIN ROBERT J
IPC: G01N27/90
Filed: 2013-10-03
Abstract: Using eddy currents, the Silver Hound determines silver content of coins, bars, and rounds. It matches the percentage of silver content to standard to determine if the object is genuine. It is portable, handheld, and battery operated. The Silver Hound is a small device (approximately 25cm long, 15 cm wide, and 6cm deep). It has a probe sensor on one end and a digital display in the middle.  The customer selects what silver content he/she wants the machine to detect from a preset menu, based on the item being evaluated (eg. US Peace Dollar, Canadian Maple Leaf, 1 oz Round). The silver coin, bar, or round is then placed against the probe sensor. If the specified content of silver is detected, the machine displays "GENUINE". This usually takes 1 to 2 seconds. If, after 5 seconds, the silver content is not detected, the machine flashes red and displays "NO SILVER". The Silver Hound applies to the consumer market for silver coins, bars, and rounds. It also applies to coin collectors and coin shop owners. It also applies to the jewelry industry and the consumer market. The Silver Hound software applies to mining and industrial applications where determining the content of silver and other conductive metals is needed.
