  • Patent number: 10084730
    Abstract: A communication apparatus is configured to provide for quickly sending a message to a recipient. For instance, embodiments can be configured so that text, an image, or other content can be copied from a received message and sent via use of a copy and send command to actuate the formation of a message for sending. After selecting such a command, a message may be formed in a format of a preselecting messaging protocol (e.g. instant messaging, text messaging, etc.) that includes the copied content. In some embodiments, the sending of the message having the copied content may occur automatically in a predefined messaging format to a predefined addressee or group of predefined addressees after selecting a copy and send command so that no further input from a user is needed to effect the generation and sending of a message to the addressee(s).

  • Patent number: 10082485
    Abstract: In a method for leakage flux testing of ferromagnetic material to be tested, in particular ferromagnetic pipes, for detecting defects, a testing volume of the material to be tested is magnetized by a constant magnetic field. A surface of the material to be tested is scanned by a probe arrangement for capturing magnetic leakage fields caused by defects. The probe arrangement has a probe array with a multiplicity of magnetic-field-sensitive probes arranged next to one another in a first direction and held at a finite testing distance from the surface of the material to be tested during the testing. Electrical probe signals are evaluated for qualifying the defects. Use is made of a probe arrangement in which the probes each have a probe width in the first direction which lies in the range from 20% of the testing distance up to 10 mm.
