  • Flexible eddy current surface measurement array for detecting near surface flaws in a conductive part
    Patent number: 5389876
    Abstract: An eddy current probe array is disclosed comprising a plurality of spatially correlated eddy current probe elements sufficiently disposed within a flexible interconnecting structure to collect a discrete plurality of spatially correlated eddy current measurements for nondestructive near surface flaw detection. A plurality of precisely fabricated, substantially identical elements being sufficiently distributed can accommodate inspecting an area of conductor covered by the active width of the array in a single uni-directional scan. The array structure can flexibly conform to accommodate inspection of large, irregular, curved conductive surfaces which cannot be inspected by conventional means.

  • Treatment of amorphous magnetic alloys to produce a wide range of magnetic properties
    Patent number: 4528481
    Abstract: Amorphous magnetic metal alloys are processed by annealing at temperatures sufficient to achieve stress relief and cooling in directed magnetic fields or in zero magnetic fields. The ac and dc properties of magnetic cores produced in accordance with the processes of the invention may be tailored to match those of a wide range of magnetic alloys. Alloys processed in accordance with the invention provide improved performance in inductors, transformers, magnetometers, and electrodeless lamps.

  • Magnetic printing head having a high signal-to-noise ratio
    Patent number: 4339760
    Abstract: The signal-to-noise ratio as measured by the ratio of the full select magnetic field levels to the half select magnetic field levels, is improved in a coincident current magnetic printing head by providing means for producing a bias magnetic field which is at least somewhat opposed to the signal magnetic fields.
