  • Publication number: 20240110847
    Abstract: A method of testing a part includes placing a first member on a part to be tested. A second member is placed on an opposed surface of the part. One of the members has an ultrasonic transmitter and the other has an ultrasonic receiver. At least one of the members has at least one magnetic element and the other has at least one of a magnetic element or a ferromagnetic metallic element which is attracted to magnets. One of the members moves along the surface of the part such that magnetic attraction causes the other to move along the opposed surface of the part with the one of the members. A controller causes an ultrasonic signal to be sent from the transmitter through the part to be tested which is received by the receiver and then analyzed by an ultrasonic testing machine.

  • Patent number: 10379963
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein provide for global management of a set of data management services being executed by at least one of one or more physical data management appliances and one or more virtual data management appliances. First instructions are transmitted to a first copy data management appliance that cause the first copy data management appliance to send first data associated with protecting a first application entity to the management server. Second instructions are transmitted to a second copy data management appliance that cause the second copy data management appliance to send second data associated with protecting a second application entity to the management server. A plurality of data management policies associated with the first copy data management appliance and the second copy data management appliance are scheduled using a third service level template, which includes a merged set of schedules for the first and second copy data management appliances.
