  • Patent number: 12007314
    Abstract: A probe assembly for providing a flow of a fluid from a pipeline into a sample transport line or slipstream, comprising: an outer tubular probe tip attached to a distal end of an outer tube mid-section; wherein the outer tubular probe tip has an outer opening; a connection head having an outer tube attached to a proximal end of an outer tube mid-section; wherein the outer tubular probe tip, the outer tube mid-section, and the outer tube are of a first inner diameter; wherein the outer opening of the outer tubular probe tip receives a flow of the fluid from within the pipeline that travels through the outer probe tip, the outer tube mid-section, the outer tube and connection head into the sample transport line or slipstream; a return tube, having an outer diameter smaller than the first inner diameter, disposed through the center of each of the outer tubular probe tip, the outer tube mid-section, the outer tube and the connection head; a first connection fitting for connecting return tubing to connection head;

  • Patent number: 7557570
    Abstract: A system for mapping a surface defect in an electrically-conducting material by measuring a change in the resonance of the material includes a flexible printed circuit board and a two dimensional array of transducers printed on the flexible circuit board, wherein each element of the array includes two transducer coils in a paired arrangement. A receive circuit connected to the coils is tuned to a resonant frequency, and the transducer coils operate in a send/receive mode. In another feature of the invention, there are means for converting a change in measured resonance to a visual display of the depth and width of the surface defect.
