Abstract: An application is used for eliminating or removing from documentation particular portions of text and/or drawings that include technical data or information that is not to be made available to persons outside of the U.S. without established license or legal agreements. After editing, the content of the documentation does not include references to restricted military programs, restricted technologies under U.S. Government export controls, a company's controlled technologies and a third party's intellectual property information. The application can assist a user in identifying restricted information, inserting proper document marking or data tagging and executing appropriate web-processing to create documentation for global distribution that is compliant under U.S. Government export control regulations and under the company's own general proprietary information and technical agreements.

Abstract: An exemplary inspection apparatus for inspecting an article comprises a flexible sensor for sensing a characteristic of the article, which sensor conforms to a surface of the article, a finger cover which fits over a finger of a user, and an attachment device for removably attaching the sensor to the finger cover. The apparatus allows the user to traverse the sensor over a large range of smoothly varying concave or convex inspection surfaces, for example, while providing the user with direct control of the sensor.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a probe and method for inspecting a complex shaped object having an irregular surface. In this invention, a flexible film of piezoelectric elements is combined with a flexible film of eddy current elements into a single probe. The probe simultaneously inspects the volume and the surface of the object by using the flexible ultrasonic transducer and the flexible eddy current sensor, respectively.

Abstract: An eddy current probe which can be moved by hand to a surface to be tested. A toroidal-shaped first resilient member contacts the bottom face of a support member. An elastic membrane extends over the bore of the first resilient member, contacts the bottom lateral surface of the first resilient member, and is unattached to the radially-inward-facing surface of the first resilient member. A more elastic, second resilient member is placed in the bore, is unattached to the first resilient member, and contacts the bottom surface of the elastic membrane. A flexible, surface-conformable, eddy current sensing coil overlies a portion of the bottom side of the second resilient member.
