  • System and method for inspecting turbomachines
    Patent number: 9683460
    Abstract: A method for inspecting a turbomachine is provided. The method includes the steps of, attaching a gimbal mount to the turbomachine, inserting a probe into the turbomachine through the gimbal mount, and adjusting a position of the probe via the gimbal mount. A removing step removes the probe from the turbomachine. An attaching step attaches a traverse actuator system to the gimbal mount. The traverse actuator system is connected to the gimbal mount through a pressure isolation system. A reinserting step is used to reinsert the probe back into the turbomachine. An inspecting step is used to inspect or test the turbomachine.

  • Wireless communication user equipment on-board policy enforcement
    Patent number: 9491768
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The UE comprises a processor, a memory storing a usage policy, and an enforcement application stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the enforcement application reads the usage policy, evaluates compliance of one of a UE configuration and a UE usage with the usage policy, determines that the UE configuration or UE usage are non-compliant with the usage policy; and presents a restricted screen on the touchscreen display, wherein the restricted screen provides touch input controls only for selecting to originate an phone call to emergency services (e911 call) and to at least one of restore the UE configuration to comply with the usage policy or adapt UE usage to comply with the usage policy.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING NOISES WITH WIRELESS TRANSDUCER
    Publication number: 20160021475
    Abstract: A noise or vibration detection system includes a clamping device with an audio transducer and a wireless transmitter. The transmitter transmits the audio signal, or a modified version of the audio signal, from the transducer. A mobile device located remote from the transmitter receives the transmitted audio signal for processing. The mobile device includes a receiver configured to receive the audio signal, a display configured as a user interface and to display information to a user, a memory configured to store non-transient machine executable code, and a processor configured to execute the machine executable code stored on the memory. The machine executable code is configured to process the received signal to form an audio signal which is presented to a speaker of the mobile device or a headphone port of the mobile device and also display the audio signal in graphical form on the display.
