摘要： An X-ray imaging system is provided which includes an X-ray tube including, a cathode for emitting electrons; and a dynamic anode. The dynamic anode receives the electrons from the cathode and generates an X-ray beam that is non-stationary. The dynamic anode rotates between a first position where the X-ray beam is directed at a first location on an object and a second position where the X-ray beam is directed at a second location on the object to generate the non-stationary beam.

摘要： A system and method for inspecting a composite structure, such as to assess thermal degradation or resin curing, are provided in which the dielectric constant of the composite structure is determined using a microwave inverse scattering technique. The dielectric constant of the composite structure may be compared to the dielectric constant of one or more sample structures to determine the presence of thermal degradation or improper curing in the structure. In this regard, a system for inspecting a composite structure comprises a transmitter, a receiver, and a controller. The transmitter may be capable transmitting microwave energy directed toward the structure. The receiver may be capable of receiving microwave energy scattered from the structure. The controller may be capable of determining a dielectric constant of the structure using an inverse scattering algorithm and comparing the dielectric constant of the structure to a dielectric constant of at least one sample structure.

摘要： For inspecting a structure with non-destructive x-ray laminography inspection, probes are magnetically coupled to opposing surfaces of the structure. The probes include an x-ray source and an x-ray detector which are driven to obtain inspection data that facilitates x-ray laminographic inspection of the structure. A device may be autonomous with a feedback-controlled motor and/or a positional encoder for translation of the probes. A device may include wireless operation. A display may be included to provide real-time visual images of the x-ray laminography or position information.

摘要： A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for generating a three-dimensional model of an object of interest in an aircraft. In response to transmitting a plurality of x-rays from a set of transmission points into the aircraft, backscatter x-ray data is received. The object identified from a two-dimensional diagram of the backscatter data. Points for the object are created from the identification of the object in the received data. The points are placed at a first distance from the transmission points to form a first curve. The points are placed at a second distance from the transmission points to form a second curve. A first surface is formed from the first and second curves. A second surface is formed that intersects the first surface to form an intersection. Three-dimensional data is generated for the three-dimensional model of the object from the intersection.

摘要： A detection method and indicator are disclosed that includes quantum dots that fluoresce under illumination of a first light having a first wavelength to indicate the presence of a predetermined condition, and in particular, a corrosion condition. The quantum dots are surrounded by a shell material that under normal conditions reflect the first light and reacts in the presence of the predetermined condition to permit the first light to illuminate the quantum dot to excite the quantum dot to emit a second light having a second wavelength, which when detected, indicates the presence of the predetermined condition.
