Title: Detection des anomalies de surface d'elements conducteurs allonges par analyse d'impulsions de propagation
Inventor: BURNETT GALE D
IPC: G01R31/00
Filed: 1996-03-13
Granted: 2006-05-16
Abstract: Cette invention concerne une analyse de la propagation d'impulsions permettant de déterminer s'il existe ou non une anomalie, comme une corrosion en surface, sur une partie d'un élément conducteur (22) tel qu'un tuyau. Les anomalies comme la corrosion en surface entraînent des modifications localisées de la vitesse à laquelle se propagent les impulsions le long d'un élément conducteur. Ces modifications localisées de la vitesse se traduisent par des modifications de la forme d'onde, des temps de montée et de descente, de l'amplitude et des temps de retard de l'impulsion par rapport à une référence temporelle donnée. Afin de pouvoir localiser de telles anomalies, on génère (28, 30) deux impulsions de manière à ce qu'elles se croisent en certaines zones d'intersection le long de l'élément conducteur. Les impulsions ainsi modifiées sont ensuite analysées (24) afin de déterminer les perturbations qui sont révélatrices des modifications localisées de la vitesse.

Abstract: There is provided an aluminum cathode base plate which has an insert of dielectric material at an upper edge thereof, in the vicinity of the solution line of the electrolytic cell when the cathode is placed into such cell for the purpose of electrodeposition of zinc. The insert has a flat surface which is raised or projected above the surface of the aluminum base plate by a distance of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm on both sides of the base plate. In this manner, when the stripping knife strikes the dielectric insert during stripping of the electrodeposited zinc sheets and then penetrates between the zinc sheets and the aluminum base plate, it will not hit and damage the perpendicular interface between the dielectric insert and the aluminum base plate. This will avoid rapid deterioration of the base plate and will significantly improve its life span.

Abstract: An electrophysiological activity estimation method is used to estimate active areas of a selected part of a living body (e.g., human brain). Based on electromagnetic field distribution measured on a surface of the selected part of the living body as well as its shape, the method assumes each equivalent current dipole as a source of electromagnetic field distribution. At first, grid points are created to cover the selected part of the living body (e.g., head). Using the pseudoinverse, the method performs estimation of dipole distribution for equivalent current dipoles. Then, the equivalent current dipoles are subjected to sorting based on a priority order. An evaluation function (e.g., structural risk) is calculated in accordance with a square error between the measured electromagnetic field distribution and a theoretical value of electromagnetic field distribution caused by the equivalent current dipole, as well as a number of measuring points and a number of equivalent current dipoles. Estimation and calculations are repeated while changing a number of equivalent current dipoles in accordance with the priority order. Then, noise distribution is estimated in response to a minimum value of the evaluation function. So, the dipole distribution is estimated using the noise distribution. Thus, it is possible to obtain estimation results which are represented by a direction and magnitude of the equivalent current dipole as well as an appropriate number of equivalent current dipoles.
