Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for utilizing an ultrasonic sensor compensating for the physical conditions of an internal battery compartment (e.g., temperature and/or humidity), to detect a hazardous battery condition, is provided. An example system includes a battery case defining an internal battery compartment and one or more battery cells contained in the internal battery compartment. The example system further includes an acoustic transmitter disposed within the internal battery compartment and configured to transmit an acoustic signal. In addition, the example system includes an acoustic receiver also disposed within the internal battery compartment and positioned to receive the transmitted acoustic signal. The example system monitors the time of flight of the acoustic signal and detects the hazardous battery condition of the one or more battery cells based on a change in the time of flight of the acoustic signal.

Abstract: A rope, a system and a method for measuring one or more properties of a rope. A property evaluation system for ropes can be deployed for a number of different applications including, but not limited to, moving lines, e.g., crane or winch and static lines, e.g., mooring lines, stays, etc., to evaluate physical properties of the ropes and, in some cases, to help evaluate structural health of the ropes. A sheave assembly (10) may transmit a signal into a rope (14) to measure at least one property of the rope. At least one sensor (25) may be coupled to or assembled in the rope to measure at least one property of the rope.

Abstract: The present disclosure can provide for an ultrasonic welding method for a pair of workpieces. The method can include first pressing an ultrasonic welding stack against a first workpiece in the pair so that the first workpiece comes into contact with a second workpiece in the pair. The method can then provide for initiating a weld phase by outputting energy from the ultrasonic welding stack to the first workpiece. The method can provide for monitoring, with at least one sensor, a sensed parameter. The sensed parameter can be, for example, weld force and/or weld force rate of change. The method can provide for determining whether the sensed parameter has reached a predetermined level. Based on determining that the sensed parameter has reached the predetermined level, the method can provide for ending the weld phase.

Abstract: Acoustic inspection productivity can be enhanced using techniques to perform compression of acquired acoustic data, such as data corresponding to elementary A-scan or other time-series representations of received acoustic echo data. In various approaches described herein, time-series data can be decimated for efficient storage or transmission. A representation of the time-series data can be reconstructed, such as by using a Fourier transform-based up-sampling technique or a convolutional interpolation filter, as illustrative examples. The techniques described herein can be used for a variety of different acoustic measurement techniques that involve acquisition of time-series data (e.g., A-Scan data). Such techniques include Full Matrix Capture (FMC) applications, plane wave imaging (PWI), or PAUT, as illustrative examples.

Abstract: An ultrasonic inspection apparatus includes a control device 12 that outputs a pulse signal for making an ultrasonic probe 11A transmit an ultrasonic wave to the ultrasonic probe 11A and that is supplied with a waveform signal obtained by converting the received ultrasonic wave from an ultrasonic probe 11B, and that computes a thickness reduction depth of a pipe 1 between the ultrasonic probe 11A and the ultrasonic probe 11B. The control device 12 computes the thickness reduction depth of the pipe 1 by selectively using a reception time of the ultrasonic wave transmitted from the ultrasonic probe 11A, reflected once by an inner surface 3 of the pipe 1, and received by the ultrasonic probe 11B, and a reception time of the ultrasonic wave transmitted from the ultrasonic probe 11A, reflected twice by the inner surface 3 of the pipe 1, and received by the ultrasonic probe 11B.
