Abstract: An insertion apparatus for use with a rotary machine includes a body extending from an insertion end to a steering end and sized to fit within an annular cavity. The body has a first stiffness and curves along a circumference of the annular cavity as the insertion end travels through the annular cavity. The insertion apparatus also includes a stiffener coupled to the body and extending from the steering end to the insertion end. The stiffener has a second stiffness greater than the first stiffness. The insertion apparatus further includes at least one maintenance device coupled to the insertion end of the insertion apparatus and a displacement mechanism configured to adjust a position of the at least one maintenance device relative to the body.

Abstract: A material constituent sensor includes one or more metamaterial assisted antennas located to probe a material that is a multiphase composition. A signal source excites at least one metamaterial assisted antenna in a desired range of radio frequency (RF) signals, a desired range of microwave signals, or a combination RF signals and microwave signals. A data processing device is programmed to estimate material constituent fractions associated with the probed material based on amplitude data, phase data, frequency shift data, or a combination of amplitude data, phase data and frequency shift data in response to transmitted energy from at least one excited metamaterial assisted antenna, reflected energy received by at least one metamaterial assisted antenna, frequency shift data, or a combination of the transmitted energy, the reflected energy and the frequency shift.

Abstract: A sensor for a flexible sensor assembly includes a drive coil, a first set of sensing coils, a second set of sensing coils, and a configuration for sensing for discontinuities in a structure desired to be sensed. A method of operating the sensor can include positioning the sensor proximate to the structure, energizing the drive coil, and sensing eddy currents with the sensing coils.

Abstract: A magneto-optic imaging apparatus adapted for use with an imaging device, such as a smartphone, tablet computer, or borescope, for visually detecting defects in the surface or subsurface of a component using a magneto-optic effect. The magneto-optic imaging apparatus includes a housing with an interface for connection with the imaging device such that a camera and light source of the imaging device may be implemented for magneto-optic visualization. The housing includes optical elements including one or more filters, a polarizer, a magneto-optic or garnet film, and an analyzer. The housing also includes a flexible coil or electrical terminals for inducing a magnetic field in the component. The magneto-optic imaging apparatus may include a translucent or transparent body of conformable material or materials to conform the magneto-optic film and flexible coil to a non-planar surface of the component.

Abstract: A method for determining a phase composition of a multiphase mixture flowing through a pipe is presented. The method includes exciting one or more patch antennas configured to operate over the range of frequencies. Further, the method includes acquiring at least one of a transmitted signal and a reflected signal over the range of frequencies from the one or more patch antennas. Moreover, the method includes estimating the phase composition of the multiphase mixture based on a group delay determined from at least one of the transmitted signal and the reflected signal. A system for determining a phase composition of a multiphase mixture flowing through a pipe is also presented.
