  • Patent number: 5671154
    Abstract: In an ultrasonic inspection apparatus for detecting a flaw present in a target object (2) on the basis of an echo signal (b) from the target object (2), a high-frequency echo signal (b) output from an ultrasonic transmit-receive unit (1) is A/D-converted at a high sampling frequency (f.sub.S) in only a predetermined measurement time interval (T.sub.M) in a repetitive period (T.sub.O) of an ultrasonic pulse (a) and is temporarily stored in a storage unit (12). Thereafter, the sampling data is read out at a read frequency (f.sub.R) lower than the sampling frequency (f.sub.S). A digital signal process for noise reduction using a first digital filter (18) or a synchronous adding/averaging circuit (27) is performed to only data in the measurement time interval (T.sub.M). As a result, noise included in the echo signal (b) is considerably reduced while on-line inspection is kept performed.

  • Patent number: 5211031
    Abstract: A scroll type compressor having a pair of scroll type compression units which are encased in the same casing so as to make a common use of a lubricating oil reservoir provided in the casing, wherein the compression units have compression elements, drive shafts, driving motors and other components which are of the same constructions and specifications, and wherein each of the compression units are adapted to be driven selectively by commercial electrical power or through a frequency-variable inverter so as to operate at different speeds. Since both compression units can be made up from the same components such as the compression elements, loads in the production, service and administration, are greatly reduced contributing to a reduction in the labor and cost, while eliminating any mounting error.
