Abstract: A measuring assembly with a mechanical excitation device that excites the metal belt of a transport device at an excitation frequency (fA) to produce mechanical vibrations. The measuring assembly has a metal plate that faces the metal belt. The metal plate is equipped with sensor elements which are offset relative to one another when viewed in the belt width direction with which measurement signals (MA) that characterize the amplitude (A) of the excited mechanical vibrations are detected for corresponding regions of the metal belt. The sensor elements protrude beyond the upper face of the metal plate and up to the metal belt. A cover for the measuring assembly that is made of an electrically insulating material covers the sensor elements on the upper face thereof, and laterally seals the sensor elements.

Abstract: An ultrasonic inspection device is an device for ultrasonically inspecting a rotor disc. The ultrasonic inspection device includes: an inspecting portion that has an ultrasonic probe for transmitting an ultrasonic wave to a disc surface of the rotor disc; a first magnet that movably holds the ultrasonic probe relative to the disc surface of the rotor disc; a drive wheel that causes the ultrasonic probe to move in a direction that intersects a radial direction of the rotor disc; a steering wheel that adjusts a moving direction of the drive wheel; a stroke sensor that detects the radial position of the ultrasonic probe being held relative to the disc surface; and a control device that controls the steering wheel on the basis of information detected by the stroke sensor such that the radial position of the ultrasonic probe falls within a predetermined range.

Abstract: Deriving a dangerous area of a road based on a vehicle's noise generated on the road or analyzing a road surface condition based on a driving noise for each vehicle type. An audio signal is collected by a sensor device and send to a noise processing unit. The noise processing unit generates an attenuated audio signal by attenuating a noise other than a noise-of-interest including at least one of a vehicle horn noise and a vehicle sudden brake noise in the received audio signal. An information processing unit detects the noise-of-interest by analyzing the attenuated audio signal through a learned detection model, and establishes a road area within a predetermined radius from the sensor device as the dangerous area of the road based on an accumulated number of times the noise-of-interest is detected.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for ultrasonic imaging of composite parts. One embodiment is a method that includes providing an object having multiple layers of fibers and resin, inducing ultrasonic waves at locations along the object, and attenuating the ultrasonic waves at the regions due to regions interspersed among the layers that each exhibit an elastic modulus distinct from an elastic modulus of the fibers and distinct from an elastic modulus of the matrix. The method further includes receiving the attenuated ultrasonic waves, and analyzing the attenuated ultrasonic waves to determine depths of the regions.
