  • Patent number: 10620167
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing nondestructive evaluation of a specimen comprises a first ultrasonic longitudinal wave transducer configured to be coupled to a first edge of a specimen to be tested; a second ultrasonic longitudinal wave transducer configured to be coupled to the first side of the specimen at a predetermined distance from the first ultrasonic shear wave transducer, wherein the first ultrasonic longitudinal wave transducer is configured to transmit a guided wave into the specimen, and the second ultrasonic longitudinal wave transducer is configured to receive the guided wave from the first ultrasonic longitudinal wave transducer. The first ultrasonic longitudinal wave transducer and the second ultrasonic longitudinal wave transducer are low frequency longitudinal transducers that are capable of operating at or below 0.5 MHz (500 KHz). A membrane may be used as the couplant between the transducers and the specimen.

  • Publication number: 20120152993
    Abstract: A lightweight bicycle basket is made from supporting pipes and a frame. Each of the supporting pipes is made of a material that is lightweight and sufficiently strong for its intended purpose and is formed into a Ushaped hollow pipe. The supporting pipes are arranged at intervals to form a longitudinal layer and a transverse layer. The longitudinal layer is superposed on the transverse layer to form a mesh structure. In this way, the basket has a supporting surface on its bottom, retaining surfaces on its sides, and an accommodating space in its interior. The tips of the supporting pipes are connected by the frame to form a firm structure. The frame is also made of a material with a light weight and sufficient strength and is formed into a loop of hollow pipe.

  • Publication number: 20110272446
    Abstract: A bicycle basket includes at least two support tubes, an upper enclosing frame, a plurality of intermediate frames and a lower enclosing frame, all of which are welded together, and a bottom panel locked onto the two support tubes. The at least two support tubes are parallel hollow tubes. Each support tube is U-shaped and comprises a bottom section at a middle portion, at least two bent sections extending from the bottom section, and two vertical sections. The upper enclosing frame is welded onto the at least two support tubes at an outer side of the end of the vertical section. The plurality of intermediate frames are regularly welded on an outer edge of the vertical section to form a containment space with the upper enclosing frame, the lower enclosing frame being welded on an outer edge of the bent section of the at least two support tubes.
