Abstract: A high temperature ultrasonic probe and a mounting fixture for attaching and aligning the probe to a steam pipe using blind alignment. The high temperature ultrasonic probe includes a piezoelectric transducer having a high temperature. The probe provides both transmitting and receiving functionality. The mounting fixture allows the high temperature ultrasonic probe to be accurately aligned to the bottom external surface of the steam pipe so that the presence of liquid water in the steam pipe can be monitored. The mounting fixture with a mounted high temperature ultrasonic probe are used to conduct health monitoring of steam pipes and to track the height of condensed water through the wall in real-time.

Abstract: A game device and method for simulating the motion of an object such as a vehicle in a realistic manner, thereby allowing the operator to sense highly realistic motions of the object in at least one dimension. In one aspect of the invention, the game device includes a vehicle simulator for an operator to ride and drive; a motion control mechanism for moving the vehicle simulator; a storage means for retaining a plurality of control data for moving the vehicle simulator in various patterns by assigning the control data respectively to a plurality of flag signals; a basic control means for setting a flag signal which corresponds to an event occurring in accordance with the development of a game by the operator; and a motion control means for reading from the storage means the control data corresponding to the flag signal which has been set, and for giving the control data to the motion control mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a game apparatus using a video display device especially a game apparatus that displays an interactive video with a co-driver, particularly a virtual reality video. The game apparatus having a video display device of the present invention comprises, as the basic elements, a plurality of video display devices for displaying a video watched by each of the plurality of players, a plurality of player control units for controlling the video display of the corresponding video display device and an position sensor device for detecting the positions or the movements of the players. Base on the position information of one player detected by the position sensor device, the player control units for the other players control the corresponding video display device to give some change to the displaying video watched by the other players.
