IPC: G06F17/16
Filed: 2005-11-15
Abstract: For eigenvalue decomposition, a first set of at least one variable is derived based on a first matrix being decomposed and using Coordinate Rotational Digital Computer (CORDIC) computation. A second set of at least one variable is derived based on the first matrix and using a look-up table. A second matrix of eigenvectors of the first matrix is then derived based on the first and second variable sets. To derive the first variable set, CORDIC computation is performed on an element of the first matrix to determine the magnitude and phase of this element, and CORDIC computation is performed on the phase to determine the sine and cosine of this element. To derive the second variable set, intermediate quantities are derived based on the first matrix and used to access the look-up table.

Inventor: COX BRADLEY E
IPC: G01N29/28
Filed: 2007-10-25
Abstract: A method for ultrasonically inspecting components with wavy or uneven surfaces. A multi-element array ultrasonic transducer is operated with a substantial fluid layer, such as water, between the array transducer and the component surface. This fluid layer may be maintained by immersing the component in liquid or by using a captive couplant column between the probe and the component surface. The component is scanned, measuring the two dimensional surface profile using either a mechanical stylus, laser, or ultrasonic technique. Once an accurate surface profile of the component's surface has been obtained, data processing parameters are calculated for processing the ultrasonic signals reflected from the interior of the component that eliminate beam distortion effects and reflector mis-location that would otherwise occur due to the uneven surfaces.
