  • Patent number: 11858065
    Abstract: A laser system includes an integrated fiber laser front-end, configured to generate and output a pre-amplified first pulsed laser beam having predefined beam characteristics corresponding to a user defined pulse shape and a user defined pulse width setting selection of a controller. The first pulsed laser beam is generated from a master oscillator which outputs a CW laser beam to a temporal pulse shaper, which modulates the CW laser beam to output the first pulsed laser beam in response to an electrical pulse from an arbitrary wave generator and a DC bias voltage from an automatic modulator bias control circuitry. The first pulsed laser beam is pre-amplified to an output pulsed laser beam for laser peening or laser bond inspection. A beam detector is used to monitor beam characteristics, and to generate an error signal to be sent back as a feedback signal to the controller for adjustments and corrections.

  • Patent number: 11731782
    Abstract: An air data probe includes a probe head defining a longitudinal axis between a forward tip and aft base. A port opening is defined in the forward tip. A first conduit is in fluid communication with the port opening to guide fluid flow from the port opening to a first chamber. The first chamber is downstream from the port opening. A second conduit, offset radially and circumferentially from the first conduit, is in fluid communication with the first chamber to guide fluid flow from the first chamber to a second chamber. The second chamber is downstream from the first chamber. The offset between the first and second conduits is configured to prevent particle ingestion from the port opening from entering the second conduit.

  • Patent number: 11250201
    Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting a user interface in a first mode and a second mode based on detection of a touch gesture is described herein. In some embodiments, a first user interface may be presented on an electronic device's display. The first user interface may include a list of items, which may be formatted such that they are optimally viewable from a first distance away from the display. In response to detecting a touch gesture, such as a scrolling gesture, a second user interface may be presented including the list of items, which may be formatted such that they are optimally viewed from a second distance. For example, the first user interface may be optimally viewable from a distance of approximately seven to ten feet from the display. As another example, the second user interface may optimally viewable from a distance of approximately one to three feet.
