  • Assembly for placement of sensors within tire
    Patent number: 11945182
    Abstract: An assembly (10) for positioning sensors within a tire is provided that has first and second bead sensors (14,16), and first and second side-wall/shoulder sensors (18, 20). A first actuator (30) moves the sensors in a radial direction of the tire, and a second actuator (32) moves the first and second bead sensors in the axial direction of the tire. A third actuator (34) is present and moves the first and second bead sensors in the axial direction relative to the first and second sidewall/shoulder sensors. A fourth actuator (36) moves the first and second bead sensors in the axial direction relative to one another, and a fifth actuator (38) moves the first and second sidewall/shoulder sensors in the axial direction relative to one another.

  • LASER-BASED WELD INSPECTION METHOD AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230160856
    Abstract: Methods and systems for inspecting a weld area between a first and a second metallic sheet are provided an acoustic wave is generated in the first metallic sheet for propagation towards the second metallic sheet, across the weld area. A weld quality indicator is obtained. In some variants, the weld quality indicator is obtained from a comparison of first and second sheet time-varying signals representative of a surface motion in the first and second metallic sheets. In some variants, the weld quality indicator is based on the frequency-dependent attenuation of the acoustic wave in the second metallic sheet.

  • Method of on-line thickness measurement of applied coatings
    Patent number: 7758910
    Abstract: In a method of measuring the thickness of a coating as it is applied to a substrate, wherein the coating is applied as a thin ribbon from a spray gun, at least one surface profile of the applied coating is obtained along a line intersecting the ribbon during relative movement of the substrate and spray gun. The thickness of the applied coating is computed from the obtained surface profile.
