    摘要: A system for sealing a leak within a pipeline for transporting fluid includes a sealing device that is deployable to seal the leak. The sealing device includes a flexible wall formed into a substantially tubular shape defining an opening, and an internal frame coupled to the flexible wall and configured to control a movement of the flexible wall by applying a force to the flexible wall, wherein the movement of the flexible wall moves the sealing device through the pipeline. The system also includes a sensor assembly configured to monitor a pipeline condition and send a signal representing the pipeline condition, and a control module configured to receive the signal and control the force applied by the internal frame based on the signal.

    摘要: Described embodiments include a system and a method. A system includes an ultrasound locator transmitter acoustically coupled with an ultrasound-conducting layer of a display surface and configured to broadcast a detection ultrasound wave across at least a portion the ultrasound-conducting layer. An ultrasound receiver is acoustically coupled with the ultrasound-conducting layer and configured to receive a portion of the detection ultrasound wave scattered from a touch by the human appendage to a location on the display surface. A steered-beam ultrasound transmitter is acoustically coupled with the ultrasound-conducting layer and configured to deliver a focused ultrasound wave to the touch location. The focused ultrasound wave has a power density producing a stress pattern directly perceivable or discernible by the human appendage at the touch location. A stimulation controller is configured to initiate a delivery of the focused ultrasound wave to the touch location by the steered-beam ultrasound transmitter.
