  • Method and system for automatic quality inspection of materials and virtual material surfaces
    Patent number: 11024020
    Abstract: The present document describes methods and systems for the automatic inspection of material quality. A set of lights with a geometric pattern is cast on a material to be analyzed. Depending on the material being inspected, same may act as a mirror and the reflected image is captured by a capture device, or the light passes through the material being inspected and the image is captured by a capture device. Defects in the material can be detected by the distortion caused by same in the pattern of the reflected image or passing through. Finally, software is used to identify and locate these distortions, and consequently the defects in the material. This classification of defects is carried out using artificial intelligence techniques.

  • ADAPTIVE ELECTROMECHANICAL SHUNT SYSTEM, RELATED ADAPTATION LAW CIRCUIT AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VIBRATIONS OF STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20180062062
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an adaptive system that converts vibration in mechanical structures into electrical energy using a transducer having piezoelectric properties. The electrical energy generated is then converted into heat loss in an electrical circuit comprising: an adaptive inductance that autonomously changes its value by comparing the phase difference of the vibration velocity and the current flowing through the shunt circuit; a resistance to convert electrical energy into heat loss; and a synthetic negative capacitance to enhance the vibration attenuation.
