Abstract: A scanning device is provided. The scanning device includes a frame having a first portion and a second portion pivotably coupled to the first frame portion. The scanning device also has a first set of wheels coupled with the first frame portion and a second set of wheels coupled with the second frame portion. In addition, the scanning device has a rail movably disposed on the first frame portion that includes a channel and a rail along with a rail arm coupled with the channel. The scanning device has a sensor assembly that includes sensor forks, a sensor coupled with the sensor forks and a sensor arm. The sensor arm is coupled with the sensor forks and with the rail arm. In addition, the sensor is adjustable between a first position and a second position via the rail.

Abstract: An ultrasound probe assembly comprises a housing and a wedge, wherein wedges configured for pipes of different diameter may be easily interchanged in the assembly. Four wheels are attached to the housing, there being a front wheel pair and a rear wheel pair. Wheels of each pair are positioned on either side of a linear probe array, wherein the distance between wheels in each pair in a direction perpendicular to the array length is as small as possible. A position encoder monitors the position of the assembly during scanning, and a push lock switch is used to disable the encoder and the data acquisition while indexing to a new scan position on the pipe.

Abstract: There is described a modular connector receptacle comprising a shield and a modular connector assembly. The shield comprises an electrically-conductive material, and comprises a lumen defining an inner surface which comprises a thread. The modular connector assembly comprises peripheral winglets which engage with the thread of the inner surface of the lumen for screwably housing the modular connector assembly inside the shield. The peripheral winglets are electrically conductive, thus providing a ground. Low-pass filters are provided on a PCB in the modular connector assembly, and the PCB comprising the low-pass filters can have a PCB shield enclosing the PCB and electrically connected to the peripheral winglets for grounding to the shield.
