Patent number: 10746701Abstract: A device and method for performing ultra-sound scanning of a substantially cylindrical object. The device comprises a cuff adapted to fit around a circumference of the object, an ultrasound probe mounted about the inner circumference of the cuff and positioned to scan the circumference of the object, and one or more data connections providing control information for the ultrasound probe and receiving scanning data from the ultrasound probe. The probe includes one or more sensors to determine its orientation or location, and this data is used to control the operation of the device and to process data from the array.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Ontario Power Generation Inc.Inventors: Raymond Ten Grotenhuis, Yadav Verma, Andrew Hong, Alex Sakuta
