Publication number: 20210164941Abstract: Embodiments relate to a system and method for detecting and remediating selective seam weld corrosion in conduits such as steel pipes that transport oil and gas products. In particular, a probe detects magnetic flux leakage in at least two orientations. Anomalies in the conduit are then identified and assessed for selective seam weld corrosion based on factors that include the magnetic flux leakage detection and the depth of the anomalies. For certain categories of assessed anomalies, the corresponding portions of the conduit are selectively remediated in accordance with these factors.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2020Publication date: June 3, 2021Inventors: James R. Andrew, James Simek

Publication number: 20200113511Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a system and methods for dynamic diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions. The methods include monitoring at least one body part of a subject with at least one sensor, the at least one sensor configured to detect motions of the at least one body part of the subject, the at least one sensor comprising a Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) sensor. The at least one sensor transmits kinematic data to a signature-comparing device. The methods include obtaining composite signatures of the subject based on the kinematic data, the composite signatures comprising at least one motion signature. The methods also include comparing the composite signatures of the subject to a normal composite signature to determine whether a difference between the composite signatures of the subject and the normal composite signatures is larger than a pre-determined threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2019Publication date: April 16, 2020Inventors: Lanny Leo Johnson, Gerald R. Williams, JR., David DiPaola, James R. Andrew

Patent number: 7358834Abstract: Waveguide nonlinear signal processors include transmission lines defined on a substrate. A plurality of varactors or pairs of varactors are situated along the transmission line and are in communication with a signal conductor of the transmission line and one or more control conductors. A processor controller is configured to provide a control signal to the one or more control conductors to select operational characteristics of the varactors or pairs of varactors. In some examples, the varactors are diodes and a control signal is provided to select a diode current-voltage characteristic in order to limit or clip an input signal to positive and/or negative amplitudes. Alternatively, a control signal is configured to provide a selected spectral transmission bandwidth or propagation delay by selecting a varactor capacitance-voltage characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2002Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: Picosecond Pulse LabsInventors: Steven H.

Patent number: 4275992Abstract: An above-rotor mount (30) for a helicopter (10) comprises an upper plate (32) coupled to a lower plate (34) by means of links (42, 44, 46 and 48). The lower plate (34) is connected to a rotating rotor shaft (16) and a non-rotating stand pipe (40) extending inside the rotor shaft. The links (42, 44, 46 and 48) are focused to control the mode shapes and dynamic response of the mounted components at a preselected frequency, such as the predominant rotor harmonic. Springs (50, 52) are connected between the plates (32, 34) for damping.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1979Date of Patent: June 30, 1981Assignee: Textron, Inc.Inventors: James R. Andrews, Rodney W. Balke, Victor L. Berry

Patent number: 4091327Abstract: A broadband active isotropic receiving antenna for use with a conventional lectromagnetic interference receiver to measure weak near-zone electric fields of unknown polarization. The antenna consists of three mutually orthogonal active dipoles, including RF amplifier circuitry and light emitting diode means, located therein coupled to fiber optic waveguide means. The frequency range of each of the three field components is amplified and used to modulate respective light emitting diodes whose modulated infrared or visible signals are guided through the fiber optic waveguide means to photo-detectors at the far end of the fiber optic guides. These photo-detectors recover the RF modulation from the IR carrier which is then time multiplexed for input to the electromagnetic interference receiver. The DC output from the receiver is processed to provide an output voltage proportional to the square root of the sum of the squares, i.e. the Hermitian magnitude of the three mutually orthogonal electric field components.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 1977Date of Patent: May 23, 1978Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: Ezra B.

Patent number: 4030840Abstract: A waveform sampler, for cooperation with a conventional sampling oscilloscope, has, as part of a bridge circuit, two Gallium Arsenide photoconductors mounted on a 50 ohm stripline. One GaAs photoconductor, the sampling photoconductor, is illuminated. The other GaAs photoconductor remains dark and functions as a common mode compensating photoconductor. To sample an unknown electrical waveform traversing the stripline the electrical wave is optically strobed by illuminating the sampling GaAs photoconductor with pulses of light from a laser. To sample an unknown optical waveform the optical wave is focused on the sampling GaAs photoconductor and an electrical strobe signal is sent through the stripline. Outputs from each of the photoconductors are amplified in high input impedance FET amplifiers and after electrical compensation they are passed to a conventional difference amplifier. The difference output is further amplified and fed to a conventional sampling oscilloscope.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1976Date of Patent: June 21, 1977Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Robert A. Lawton, James R. Andrews
