Abstract: Multi-centric radius focusing is used to inspect a radiused surface of a radiused part having a varying radius without mechanically adjusting the array sensor. A plurality of focal laws are designed to electronically steer and focus ultrasound at respective focal points corresponding to centers of curvature of a simulated radiused surface having a varying radius.

As the probe is moved along the radiused part, the probe maintains the array sensor at a constant location relative to the radiused part. As the array sensor scans the radiused part, the array sensor is electronically adjusted to focus at the respective focal points in sequence.

Abstract: Framed event access in an ordered event stream (OES) storage system is disclosed. Events can be written to one or more segments of an OES and can have an inherent write sequence. Segments can be parallel segments. Reading events from parallel segments can result in a read sequence that does not match the write sequence. This mismatch can be more severe as segment length increases, as event density disparities increase, as access times diverge for different segments, or for numerous other reasons. Event framing can compartmentalize divergence between the write and read sequence. In an aspect, readers in the several segments of the OES can be constrained to read within a frame defined by frame boundaries until all readers have reached the frame boundary, then can advance to a next frame. The restriction can act as a pseudo-synchronization of readers that can mitigate difference between write and read sequences.
