  • Data acquisition systems
    Patent number: 11513247
    Abstract: A master data acquisitions system is provided. A trigger emits a sync signal to be sensed by each of a plurality of data acquisition systems. A controller is communicatively coupled with each of the plurality of data acquisition systems. The controller receives data from each of the data acquisition systems. The data for each of the plurality of data acquisition systems include the sensed sync signal. The controller synchronizes the data from each of the plurality of data acquisition systems by aligning the sensed sync signal for each of the plurality of data acquisition systems.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and system for non-intrusively inspecting a fluidic channel
    Patent number: 11455445
    Abstract: A method is provided for non-intrusively determining cross-sectional variation of a fluidic channel. The method includes creating a pressure pulse in a fluidic channel using a hammer to strike an external surface of a fluidic channel. The method also includes sensing, by one or more sensors, reflections of the pressure pulse; and obtaining, from the one or more sensors, a measured pressure profile based on the sensed reflections of the pressure pulse. A forward model of cross-sectional variation of the fluidic channel is generated based on a baseline simulation. Using the forward model, a simulated pressure profile is generated. Using the measured pressure profile and the simulated pressure profile, an error is determined. When the error is outside a predetermined threshold, the forward model is updated based on the error. An estimate of cross-sectional variation of the fluidic channel based on the forward model is displayed.
