  • Patent number: 9423358
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for identifying an anomaly in a structure are disclosed. The method involves applying a quantity of a liquid onto the structure, and removing an excess of the liquid from the structure. The method further involves propagating, with at least one source, at least one transmit signal onto a location on the structure. At least one transmit signal comprises at least one terahertz frequency. Also, the method involves receiving, with at least one detector, at least one receive signal reflected from the location on the structure. Further, the method involves determining, with at least one processor, whether the location exhibits an anomaly by analyzing the intensity of at least one receive signal.

  • Patent number: 6169534
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying information regarding an event are provided. The method and apparatus meets objectives of increasing sales and marketing efficiency and efficiency of technical and customer support by providing a multi-dimensional display of event information to a user. As such, a radar screen-like presentation of data is generated that allows the user to see a visual representation of the best prospective opportunities based on the strategic business importance of an event. The method and apparatus functions by determining at least one event to be displayed and generating for graphical display an event object and label corresponding to the event. The radial location of the event object on the display is related to the stage of the particular corresponding event. The location of the event object on the display can also be indicative of other characteristics of the corresponding event.
