  • Patent number: 11977054
    Abstract: Systems for ultrasonic measurements of an inspection surface is described. An inspection robot with a payload moves in a direction of travel across an inspection surface. The payload has two sensor holders, the first sensor holder to hold a first UT array at a first orientation and the second to hold a second UT array at a second orientation A sensor holder linking component holds the two UT phased arrays in a parallel configuration along their long edges. An arm of the payload may be pivotably connected to both the sensor linking component at one end and a lift connection element on the other end. The lift component has a lift motor to raise the lift connection element. A rastering device moves the payload in a direction of inspection which is distinct from both the direction of travel and the parallel configuration of the two phased UT arrays.

  • Patent number: 11971389
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for ultra-sonic inspection of a surface are described. An example system may include an inspection robot structured to move in a direction of travel on an inspection surface. The inspection robot may include a payload including a first ultrasonic (UT) phased array and a second UT phased array, the first UT phased array and the second UT phased array being arranged in a parallel configuration. The inspection robot may include a rastering device structured to move the payload in a direction of inspection, the direction of inspection being distinct from the direction of travel and the direction of inspection being distinct from the parallel configuration of the first UT phased array and the second UT phased array.

  • Publication number: 20100037651
    Abstract: A water generating system comprising: a pressurized condenser capable of being overpressurized; said pressurized condenser comprising a moisture laden air inlet and a moisture depleted air outlet, each inlet and outlet further having valves, respectively; said pressurized condenser further comprising a cold water inlet attached by a cold water transport conduit to a cold water pump, a warm water outlet and a heat exchanger that is in fluid communication between the cold water inlet and the warm water outlet; a moisture laden air transport conduit attached to the moisture laden air inlet; an air pump/conditioner attached to a distal end of the moisture laden air transport; said air pump/conditioner capable of significant creating a significant overpressurization air pressure in the pressurized condenser; a moisture depleted air transport conduit attached to the moisture depleted air outlet; and a water recovery outlet attached to a water reservoir via a water recovery conduit.
