IPC: G01N3/00
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: A method, in which a damaged site (2) of a composite material structure (1), for example a wing skin on an aircraft, is repaired, includes the steps of repairing the damaged site (2) with repair material (5), including adhesive, and at the same time bonding a test fixture (4), for example a button, at a test site (3) next to the repair, by means of material (6) that is the same as the repair material (5). The conditions to which the damaged site (2) and the test site (3) are subjected are substantially the same. After repair, the strength of the repair bond may be indirectly assessed by applying a torque to the test fixture (4), so as to assess the bond strength of the test fixture (4) to the structure (1).

IPC: G01N29/22
Filed: 2002-11-12
Abstract: An externally-powerable sensor is described for detecting ultrasonic energy and for providing an accurate indication of the level of such energy to an external monitoring device over a wide dynamic range. A first electrical signal proportional to the detected ultrasonic energy is chopped by the output of a free-running multivibrator to generate a signal having a frequency differing from the frequency of the first signal by an amount within the audio frequency range. Such difference signal is selectively amplified to concentrate the spectral energy of the difference component in a lower portion of the audio range. A low pass filter extracts, from the so-concentrated difference signal, a modified audio signal whose frequency content is at the lower end, illustratively 0-6KHz, of the spectrum of the concentrated difference signal. The output of the low pass filter is processed to generate a DC output current that is proportional to the detected ultrasonic energy level. The sensor is connectable to a 4-20 mA current loop which serves to power the sensor electronics as well as to carry the DC output current to the monitoring device.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging method for forming an image of an object from a plurality of signals acquired by an array of multiple receiver antennae.A navigator gradient is applied for the measurement of navigator MR signals and an additional gradient is applied in order to achieve diffusion sensitivity of the MR signal, wherein phase corrections are determined from phases and moduli of the navigator MR signals so as to correct the measured MR signals. An image of the part of the object is determined from the corrected MR signals. The corrected phase is determined from the weighted phase difference between a reference navigator signal for each antenna and the actual navigator MR signal of said antenna . A common correction rector is used for correction of data from all receiver antennae of the array .

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing an image in view of its
printing on a device having a limited number of intensities for each pixel. The
method consisting firstly to produce a collection of possible color lookup tables
(LUTs), then using these color LUTs to halftone patches of constant color. The
halftoned patches are then analyzed and an optimum color LUT is selected for that
color. This process is repeated for all different colored patches to create an
optimum LUT for any input color. These color LUT's are then used in a halftoning
process where an input pixel is used to select an optimal color LUT to be used and
then the accumulated errors for this input pixel are added to the values of the input
pixel and are used as an index in the selected color LUT to obtain an output value.
In this way the halftoning process is optimized for all input color regions, reducing
unwanted artifacts and producing pleasing distributions of colored dots.
