Publication number: 20100235112Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include methods to manage non-destructive evaluation (“NDE”) data. The method includes receiving NDE data for at least a portion of an asset along with inspection information associated with the at least a portion of the asset, and determining at least one alignment algorithm to align the NDE data to a simulated model of the at least a portion of the asset based on at least one of the NDE data or the inspection information. The method further includes automatically aligning The NDE data to the simulated model with the at least one alignment algorithm and analyzing the aligned NDE data on the simulated model to determine coverage of the simulated model by the NDE data. Additional methods include retrieving NDE data that has previously been aligned to the simulated model and determining coverage or determining trends associated with indications thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2009Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: SHEET DYNAMICS LTD.Inventors: Joseph M. Kesler, Uriah M. Liggett, Richard A. Roth, II, Thomas D. Sharp

Publication number: 20100235111Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product manage non-destructive evaluation (“NDE”) data. NDE data and inspection information for at least a portion of an asset are received and at least one alignment algorithm to align the NDE data to a simulated model of the at least a portion of the asset is determined based upon at least one of the NDE data and the inspection information. The NDE data is automatically aligned to the simulated model with the at least one alignment algorithm and a display representation that visually represents the aligned NDE data on the simulated model is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2009Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: SHEET DYNAMICS LTD.Inventors: Thomas D.

Publication number: 20100235153Abstract: Methods manage non-destructive evaluation (“NDE”) data. NDE data for an asset is received and at least one alignment algorithm to align the NDE data to a simulated model associated therewith is determined. The NDE data is automatically aligned to the simulated model, a display representation that visually represents the aligned NDE data on the simulated model is generated, and information about the aligned NDE data is exported. Additionally, second NDE data associated with the at least a portion of the asset may also be received, at least one alignment algorithm to align the data determined, and the second NDE data aligned. Respective indications associated with the first and second NDE data may be determined and visually represented on the simulated model. Moreover, a shot descriptor file may be analyzed to determine whether additional NDE data is required to complete an alignment of NDE data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2009Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: SHEET DYNAMICS LTD.Inventors: Thomas D.

Patent number: 7185315Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method visually represent the disparities between a target design such as a DSP program design and a reference system in connection with the display of a graphical representation of the design, specifically in association with one or more connection elements representing connections defined within the target design. By doing so, a designer, developer or tester who is working with a particular target design is better able to identify and analyze potential problems or other unexpected and/or unintended behaviors in a target design.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2003Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Sheet Dynamics, Ltd.Inventors: Thomas Dean Sharp, Matthew Joseph Rensing

Patent number: 6549858Abstract: A method and apparatus for decoupling complex multiple degree-of-freedom (MDOF) responses measured on linear dynamic systems into constituent single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) modal responses. A data acquisition and processing system periodically samples response signals generated by a plurality of sensors spaced at various locations on a linear dynamic system. The processing system calculates a plurality of sets of spatio-temporal filter coefficients based upon time-shifted digitized response signals. A synthesizer applies the spatio-temporal filter coefficients to the response signals, thereby generating synthesized signals representing decoupled SDOF responses of the linear dynamic system. Means are provided for receiving input signals representing a plurality of excitation inputs and for calculating input influence coefficients based upon the time-shifted digitized response signals and the excitation input signals.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1999Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignee: Sheet Dynamics, Ltd.Inventors: Stuart J.
