  • Patent number: 12313576
    Abstract: A system and method for determining the condition of a thermal barrier coating on a base metal component, comprising the use of an induction coil to input into the metallic base layer through the coating layer, a temporally varying heat waveform, and measuring the temperature of the coating surface layer resulting from the input of the heat waveform using a temperature sensor disposed close to the surface of the coating layer. A controller correlates a signal from the temporally varying output of the temperature sensor with a signal corresponding to the temporally varying heat waveform, to determine the phase angle between the signals. The controller uses a mathematical relationship between the phase angle and the frequency of the heat waveform to determine the thermal properties of the non-metallic coating. Both the thermal diffusivity and the barrier coating thickness can be accurately obtained by this method and apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10301669
    Abstract: A method for sequence-specifically detecting a nucleic acid molecule. The method requires: a) contacting in an absence of an electric field, a mixture of nucleic acid molecules with a base pairing hybridizing molecule (BPHM) having a sequence of interest in a first solution and obtaining a hybrid consisting the nucleic acid molecule and the BPHM; b) introducing the first solution from step (a) into an ITP system, the ITP system comprises a second solution of high effective mobility leading electrolyte (LE) ions and a third solution of low effective mobility trailing electrolyte (TE); and c) applying the electric field across the second solution and the third solution. The hybrid focus at the sharp LE-TE interface in the ITP system. The TE has a higher mobility than the BPHM and the TE has a lower mobility than the hybrid. Sequence-specifically the detecting nucleic acid molecule by a signal from a label.

  • Patent number: 10147217
    Abstract: A method that uses at least one hardware processor for receiving a three-dimensional model of an object, receiving an audio sequence embodied as a digital file that comprises a musical composition, generating a video frame sequence, and synthesizing the audio sequence and the video frame sequence into an audiovisual clip. The three-dimensional model is embodied as a digital file that comprises a representation of the object. The generating step comprises computing a caricature of the object by applying a computerized caricaturization algorithm to the three-dimensional model. The computing has scaling gradient fields of surface coordinates of the three-dimensional model by a function of a Gaussian curvature of the surface, and finding a regular surface whose gradient fields fit the scaled gradient fields.
