Abstract: Eddy current detection probes and related methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the eddy current detection probes are hybrid probes, including a solid state sensor and a detection loop. In some embodiments, the eddy current detection probes include a drive coil and a detection loop, with the detection loop having a sensitive axis that is not parallel to principal axis of the drive coil. In some such embodiments, the sensitive axis of the detection loop is perpendicular to the principal axis of the drive coil.

Abstract: An analysis system for analyzing circuits and other appropriate devices as well as its method of use are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system may include one or more electromagnetic field generators configured to generate an electromagnetic field proximate to a circuit. The system may also include one or more electromagnetic field sensors configured to scan the circuit by detecting an electromagnetic field induced in the circuit. An associated computing device may be configured to receive the scan of the circuit and compare the scan to a reference scan of the circuit to determine whether the circuit is different from the reference scan.

Abstract: A power supply and interface circuit assembly is used with a portable media player (PMP) to relay signals between the PMP and a peripheral device(s), such as a head-mounted display. A power supply in or attached to the assembly provides power to the circuitry, the PMP, and the peripheral device. The assembly is able to manage the charging and discharging of power to the PMP and the peripheral device and to manage multi-media signals between the PMP and the peripheral device to provide a complete, mobile interface assembly.
