  • Patent number: 12669478
    Abstract: The present invention provides an efficient ultrasonic phased array phase shift migration imaging method for the defect in a multi-layer structure, including the following steps: (1) transforming full matrix capture data of a multi-layer structure to a frequency-wavenumber domain by means of three-dimensional fast Fourier transform; (2) for any non-traversed layer in the multi-layer structure, extrapolating a surface wave field of the multi-layer structure to an upper interface of the non-traversed layer, to obtain wave field information of the non-traversed layer; (3) according to the obtained wave field information, performing focus imaging on the non-traversed layer in the frequency-wavenumber domain; and (4) repeating the steps (2) and (3), until all layers are traversed, to obtain an imaging result of the multi-layer structure.

  • Patent number: 12643214
    Abstract: This application relates to the field of power tool technologies, and specifically discloses a power tool and a control method thereof. The tool includes at least two output heads. An output head detection assembly can detect a position of an output head at a working position and generate a detection signal. The detection signal is associated with a working mode of the output head. A function switching unit generates, in response to external triggering, a mode switching signal used for indicating to switch the working mode of the output head at the working position. A controller is connected to the output head detection assembly and the function switching unit, switches the working mode of the output head at the working position in response to the mode switching signal, and associates the detection signal with a working mode after switching.
