  • Patent number: 11499941
    Abstract: A flexible eddy current probe for non-destructive testing of a metallic object may include one or more plus-point coils and a flexible printed circuit having first and second parallel sides, third and fourth parallel sides, and a number of adjacent strips. The strips have first and second ends that are contiguous with the first and second parallel sides, respectively. Each of the strips may contain a pair of coils oriented along the length of the strip, a first coil being proximate to the first end and a second coil being proximate to the second end, and each of the coils is configured to excite an eddy current in the metal object or to sense an eddy current. Each of the strips may also be independently flexible from one another. The eddy current sensor array is configured to be scanned over the metal object.

  • Publication number: 20210234699
    Abstract: A verification system using additional factors such as biometrics can provide a tenant system with the ability to verify the identity of an end user. The enrollment and verification can be performed without sharing identity knowledge between the tenant and the verification ensuring the privacy of the end user. The enrollment and verification can also be performed in an auditable way while maintaining anonymity.

  • Patent number: 10091691
    Abstract: Techniques for dynamic backhaul bandwidth provisioning are described herein. For example, a method may include determining a potential subscriber user equipment load change, transmitting a backhaul bandwidth change request message based a potential subscriber UE load change, wherein the backhaul bandwidth change request message includes a requested backhaul bandwidth level, receiving a backhaul bandwidth change reply message in response to transmitting the backhaul bandwidth change request message, implementing a subscriber UE load change response corresponding to the potential subscriber UE load change based on receiving the backhaul bandwidth change reply message.

  • Patent number: 9267921
    Abstract: A rotating field eddy current probe for sensing flaws in electrically conductive tubing is disclosed. The probe includes two stimulation coils physically arranged at 90 degrees to each other about an axis a current sensing portion. The a first alternating current is applied to one of the stimulation coils at a first phase and a second alternating current is applied to the second of the stimulation coils at a second phase, said second phase being electrically 90 degrees apart from said first phase and creating a rotating oscillating magnetic field.
