Patent number: 10260860Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for providing an improved protective coating for a substrate that may be inspected using the unaided eye or other apparatus under available light. The protective coating is mixed with an additive including flakes or particles that, when applied to the substrate as part of the protective coating, allow the user to empirically determine if the surface has received an adequate protective coat. The determination of whether or not any defects exist may include comparing the observed appearance of the specialty pigment particles with a comparative standard.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventor: Sergey G. Ponomarev

Patent number: 10151731Abstract: Example systems and methods for nondestructive ultrasonic testing are provided. One example system includes at least one air-coupled ultrasonic transducer configured to emit primary ultrasound waves that interfere with each other. The primary ultrasound waves include fundamental frequency components that are multiples of each other and emitted simultaneously in locked phase. Further, the interference of the primary ultrasound waves generates a plurality of frequency harmonics in the air. The system also includes at least one receiver configured to receive ultrasonic waves emitted from an object under test.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: The Boeing ComapnyInventors: Sergey G. Ponomarev, Wayne Cooper, Dennis M. Lewis
