Patent number: 11280764Abstract: An ultrasonic inspection device for inspection of a structure. The device includes a body with a first side and a second side that are on opposing sides of a gap. The gap is sized to receive the structure. A probe is attached to the first side and transmits ultrasonic signals at the structure. A reflector plate is attached to the second side and is fixed relative to the probe and reflects the signals that pass through the structure. The probe is configured to detect the signals that reflect off the structure and to detect the signals that pass through the structure and reflect off the reflector plate. The received signals provide for pulse echo and through transmission inspection of the structure.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Jeffry J.

Patent number: 10382511Abstract: A guest digital device joins a playback session hosted by a host digital device and synchronizes playback of digital media content with playback on the host digital device. This enables multiple users to listen to or view media at the same time on their respective devices. A time-based synchronization process may be used to initially synchronize playback of the guest digital device to the host digital device. If synchronization is lost, the device may record and analyze audio during playback and a fingerprint-based synchronization approach may be applied that detects a time offset between fingerprints in the analyzed audio. If synchronization is still not achieved, a watermark-based synchronization approach may be applied in which watermarks are actively injected into the audio and the time offsets between the watermarks is detected.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: AMP ME INC.Inventors: Martin-Luc Archambault, Andrè-Philippe Paquet, Martin Gagnon, Daniel Levesque, Keith Beaudoin, Luc Bernard, Marc Mercier, Michaël Mimeault, Rami Kuret, Julien Gobeil Simard

Publication number: 20170034263Abstract: Playback of an audio stream is synchronized on multiple connected digital devices by using synchronization fingerprints. Playback actions may furthermore be synchronized on all devices, such as skips and pauses. Furthermore, synchronization may be maintained even in the presence of variations in decoding speed, playback interruptions, and network disconnections. Synchronized playback of streamed audio content on multiple devices is achieved by devices compensating for time drifting induced by network instability and variable playback speed across master and guest devices to reduce the formation of echoes during playback.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2016Publication date: February 2, 2017Inventors: Martin-Luc Archambault, André-Philippe Paquet, Nicolas Presseault, Marcos Paulo Damasceno, Julien Gobeil Simard, Luc Bernard, Martin Gagnon, Steve Matte, Daniel Levesque
