摘要： A method for non-destructively detecting the presence of banded regions in a metal is described. The method involves sending an ultrasonic wave into the metal and obtaining reflected signals. The reflected signals are compared with each other to determine variations in signal intensity. A banded region within the metal can be observed as a weaker reflected signal than a reflected backwall signal, thus accurately identifying a location of banding within the metal. Metal articles with a low percent of banding are also described.

摘要： By measuring, for an ultra-low-expansion glass material, the frequency dependence of acoustic velocities and attenuation coefficients of bulk waves (longitudinal waves and shear waves), and the density, its fundamental acoustic properties are revealed, and a standard specimen for use in system calibration is prepared. By an absolute calibration method using the standard specimen, absolute values for both the LSAW and LSSCW velocities are obtained. Moreover, there are obtained relationships for the acoustic properties and the coefficient of thermal expansion to evaluate the coefficient of thermal expansion from the acoustic properties. In case there is a distribution of characteristics due to periodic striae, an accurate acoustic property distribution in the substrate can be ascertained and an evaluation performed, by selecting for the substrate a cutting angle with respect to the striae plane.

摘要： An apparatus examines the internal structure of an object disposed substantially in a medium such as air. The apparatus has an acoustic transducer assembly that emits and receives acoustic signals and an acoustic coupler that acoustically couples the acoustic transducer assembly to the object. The acoustic coupler is adapted to essentially retain a body of fluid such as water between a section of the surface of the object and the acoustic transducer assembly for carrying acoustic signals between the acoustic transducer assembly and the object.

摘要： Described is a method for examining a surface of a sample using an atomic force scanning microscope (AFM) comprising a cantilever with a longitudinal extension along which a measuring tip is disposed, which is selectively arranged relative to said sample surface by a driver means and whose spatial position is detected using a sensor unit, and said microscope is provided with at least one ultrasound generator, which initiates vibration excitation at a given excitation frequency between said sample surface and said cantilever, the measuring tip of which is brought into contact with said sample surface in such a manner that said measuring tip is excited to vibrations which are oriented lateral to said sample surface and perpendicular to said longitudinal extension of said cantilever and that the torsional vibrations induced in said cantilever are detected and analyzed by means of an evaluation unit. The invention is distinguished in that the vibration excitation occurs in such a manner that the oscillations executed by the measuring tip have higher harmonic vibration parts relative to the excitation frequency, that vibration excitation is conducted at excitation amplitudes which lead inside the cantilever to torsional amplitudes, the maximum values of which form a largely constant plateau value despite increasing excitation amplitudes and the resonance spectra of which undergo, in the range of the maximum values of the torsional amplitudes, a widening of the resonance spectrum which is determinable by a plateau width, and that used for examining the sample surface are the resonance spectra, preferably the plateau value, the plateau width and/or the gradient of the respective resonance spectra.

摘要： A method and an apparatus for monitoring the production of blow molded plastic containers (20) includes a columnator (26) and sound detector (24) responsive to a defect sound of pressure fluid escaping from a container being formed in a mold cavity (14). The columnator is effective to filter the defect sound from ambient noise. An output signal generated by the sound detector is processed to generate a control signal used to reject a defective container. Preferably, the open end of the columnator is positioned between 20° and 150° from the preform loading station in a rotary platform (12) blow molding machine.
