The application for the patent was published on August 28, 2026, under issue no. 35/2026.

Abstract: ABSTRACT A computer-based apparatus can be configured for processing data in connection with applying the apparatus to a work piece (106). The apparatus comprises a data acquisition and communication device (204) comprising a sensor apparatus having multiple sensors (204B) each programmed for collecting data indicative of at least one distance from each sensor (204B) to a surface portion of the work piece (106), and a data communication apparatus (204C) programmed for communicating collected sensor data to a data processing module (204A). The data processing module (204A) is programmed for: receiving the communicated sensor data from the data acquisition and communication device (204), combining communicated sensor data derived from different sensors (204B), and calculating at least one work piece condition characteristic value in response to the communicated sensor data.
