Abstract: An intelligent terminal comprising a first memory system (bubble memory) for storing data including a plurality of function programs; a second memory system (static RAM) and a processor operatively coupled to the static RAM to execute instructions therefrom at high speeds. A keyboard is used for selecting a function program to be executed and a direct memory access controller is used for transferring data, including a function program which is selected by the keyboard, from the bubble memory to the static RAM to enable the processor to execute the selected function program. A comparator is used for determining the end of a selected function program, and a static scratch pad RAM is used to store changes made in data to be returned to the bubble memory.

Abstract: A method of determining depth propagation of a defect in a body by ultrasonic materials testing wherein a first angle probe having an ultrasonic wave transmitting oscillator produces a scatter signal at structural inhomogeneities of a body formed with a defect and the scatter signal is received by an ultrasonic wave receiving oscillator of a second angle probe, which includes: transmitting an ultrasonic wave at a first angle along a first line in direction towards the defect so that the scatter signal thereat is shadowed by the defect and diminished in intensity; receiving the diminished signal from the defect at a second angle in a direction along a second line intersecting with the first line at a defect, transmitting additional ultrasonic waves and receiving diminished scatter signals along respective lines intersecting at the defect at varying depths of the body and ascertaining the depth propagation of the defect by a marked increase in intensity of the received signal when the intersection of the respec
