Patent number: 10648951Abstract: A pattern recognizing ultrasonic testing system and methods for using the same are provided. The system can include an ultrasonic probe and an analyzer. The ultrasonic probe can be configured to acquire ultrasonic measurements from target, where the ultrasonic measurements can contain one or more ultrasonic patterns representing a target characteristic. The analyzer can be in communication with the ultrasonic probe. The analyzer can also be configured to receive the ultrasonic measurements, receive a first classifier configured to identify a predetermined target characteristic based upon one or more predetermined first ultrasonic patterns, examine the received ultrasonic measurements using the first classifier, and identify ultrasonic patterns of the received ultrasonic measurements that correspond to the predetermined ultrasonic patterns as representing the predetermined target characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2017Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies GmbHInventor: Matthias Jobst

Patent number: 10429356Abstract: A method and system for calibrating an ultrasonic wedge and a probe are disclosed. The calibration method includes the steps of automatically determining the ultrasonic signal acquisition width and the first ultrasonic signal gate based on the theoretical parameters of the ultrasonic wedge and the probe. The calibration method can also include the steps of automatically determining the operating status of transducer elements in a phased array transducer and then determining the actual parameters of the ultrasonic wedge based on the live transducer elements.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2012Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Anandamurugan S, Matthias Jobst, Jerome Poirier

Publication number: 20130083628Abstract: A method of operating an ultrasound imaging system having an array of transducer elements. The method comprises transmitting a plurality of ultrasound signals, each transmission using a different sub-aperture of the array, receiving a plurality of reflected ultrasound signals by a receive array corresponding to each sub-aperture transmission, calculating a coherency factor corresponding to the proportion of coherent energy in the received signals from each sub-aperture transmission and weighting the received output by the calculated coherency factor, and synthesizing all weighted outputs under all different sub-aperture transmissions.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: April 4, 2013Applicant: GE INSPECTION TECHNOLOGIES LTDInventors: Xiaoyu QIAO, Matthias JOBST

Patent number: 7133706Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile communication device having a keyboard and a method for controlling the operation of the keyboard of such a mobile communication device. The keyboard provides a QWERTY styled layout including a keypad similar to a ITU-T keypad. Applications executed on the mobile communication device are adapted to switch an operation mode of the keyboard such that in accordance with a certain expected information input, different assignments of the keys of the keyboard are active. The keyboard operation modes improve the usability of the keyboard and allow the number of total keys for operating the mobile communication device to be reduced resulting in lowered cost of manufacture.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2002Date of Patent: November 7, 2006Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Klaus Kespohl, Karsten Lehn, Matthias Jobst, Stefanie Völlinger, Konrad Brisse, Peter Buth

Patent number: 6707915Abstract: A method of transferring a data packet from a providing communication terminal to a requesting communication terminal, wherein the requesting communication terminal transfers a message to the providing communication terminal including a requests for receiving the data packet and a first unique identification code identifying the requesting communication terminal. Upon receipt of the message the providing communication terminal verifies the validity of the first unique Identification code. When the verification has been ended successfully, the providing communication terminal responds by transferring a message to the requesting communication terminal including the requested data packet and a second unique identification code, Then the requesting communication terminal verifies the validity of the second unique identification code and stores the data packet accordingly when the verification has been successful.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 1999Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones LimitedInventors: Matthias Jobst, Erling Bugge Stage

Patent number: 6081730Abstract: A communications device according to the invention comprises a telephone set (7), which has a first control device (9) and a main data memory (8) for storing first data, and at least one data input unit (1) which can be connected to the telephone set (7) and has a second control device (3) and an auxiliary data memory (2) for storing second data which represent a part of the first data and via which the first data can be accessed. Both control devices (9, 3) are designed such that, in the event of a data change in one of the data memories, they allow a corresponding change to be made to the data assigned to them in the other data memory.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1997Date of Patent: June 27, 2000Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones LimitedInventors: Jan Lieben, Matthias Jobst
