Patent number: 10845339Abstract: A method and system for determination of geometric features in an object is provided. The method includes receiving at least one geometric feature response to an ultrasound beam incident on the object. The incident ultrasound beam is produced from one of a plurality of ultrasound transducers. Further, a volumetric representation of the object is generated based on a plurality of object parameters. The volumetric representation of the object and a plurality of transducer parameters are used to generate a predicted beam traversal path in the object. The predicted beam traversal path is utilized to generate a temporal map of predicted time of flight geometric feature response to the ultrasound beam. A position on the volumetric representation of the object is determined as the location of the geometric feature, when the received geometric feature response is equivalent to the predicted time of flight geometric feature response corresponding to the position.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2019Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Baskaran Ganesan, Satheesh Jeyaraman, Albrecht Maurer

Patent number: 10152784Abstract: A method for inspecting a component is presented. The method includes inducing, by an inductive coil, an electrical current flow into the component. Further, the method includes capturing, by an infrared (IR) camera, at least a first set of frames and a second set of frames corresponding to the component, wherein the first set of frames is captured at a first time interval and a second set of frames is captured at a second time interval. Also, the method includes constructing, by a processing unit, a thermal image based on at least the first set of frames and the second set of frames corresponding to the component. Furthermore, the method includes determining presence of a thermal signature in the thermal image, wherein the thermal signature is representative of a defect in the component.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Venkata Vijayaraghava Nalladega, Thomas James Batzinger, Yuri Alexeyevich Plotnikov, Shyamsunder Tondanur Mandayam, Bryon Edward Knight, Satheesh Jeyaraman, Esha SenGupta

Publication number: 20110317909Abstract: A portable wear quantification system includes a hand-held image acquisition device and a fixture. The fixture includes a first end coupled to the image acquisition device. A light source emits a light beam along an emission axis. A beam splitter is disposed at an angle with respect to an axis of view of the image acquisition device for directing the beam from the light source toward a portion of an object. A second end of the fixture is located on an opposite side of the beam splitter from the first end. The second end includes a platform that is configured to position the fixture with respect to the object. A channel extends from the first end to the second end along the axis of view of the image acquisition device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2010Publication date: December 29, 2011Applicant: GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANYInventors: Satheesh Jeyaraman, Kevin George Harding, Anandraj Sengupta, Debasish Mishra, Suneel Tumkur Shankarappa, Howard Paul Weaver, Kevin William Meyer
