    摘要: A multiple mode digitization system for a non-destructive inspection instrument which makes use of a multiplexing circuit and a single set of analog to digital converters to efficiently digitize analog test signals from a plurality of inputs. In the preferred embodiment, each of the analog to digital converters in the system is driven with an independent and separate clock signal, allowing for propagation delay compensation among the plurality of test signals as well as interleaved sampling such that custom sampling rates can be used for each input without the need for more than one clock frequency. In an alternate embodiment, phase adjustments on the sampling clocks are used only for interleave sampling, and digital filters are used to provide signal propagation delay compensation.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a flaw detector imaging apparatus for detecting and visualizing a flaw in a target material to be investigated, comprising an ultrasonic phase-array probe comprising an array of ultrasonic transducers and a flaw detector. The flaw detector includes at least one trigger channel to trigger ultrasonic emitting transducers of the array at respective time delays to produce an ultrasonic beam propagating through the target material, and a single receiver channel to receive echo signals produced by ultrasonic receiving transducers of the array in response to ultrasonic wave echoes reflected from a flaw in the target material. The single receiver channel comprises a delay circuit imparting to the received echo signals the respective time delays as used in the triggering of the ultrasonic emitting transducers and a combiner of the delayed echo signals. A processor is responsive to the echo signals produced by the ultrasonic receiving transducers, received by the single receiver channel and time delayed by the delay circuit to produce an image of the flaw from which the ultrasonic wave echoes are reflected. A display connected to the ultrasonic processor displays the image of the flaw.

    摘要: A phase-to-sinusoid-amplitude conversion system and method for use in, for example, direct digital frequency synthesizer applications. The system and method convert phase data to signal amplitude data using an approximation of the first quadrant of a sine function using a plurality of linear line segments of preferably equal length. Each segment is defined with a lower horizontal-axis bound; a lower vertical-axis bound; and a slope represented as a sum of a plurality of slope elements. Based on the approximation and for a given phase angle a set of values are evaluated, for each linear line segment, representing a product of (i) a horizontal displacement representing a difference between the prescribed phase angle and the lower horizontal-axis bound xi of a selected linear line segment where, for example, xi

The tool is adapted to be releasably secured to the conventional cable connector and used to ergonomically push the latter within the end section of the cable. Once the cable connector is secured to the cable, the tool is threadingly disengaged from the connector.

    摘要: A method for spatially controlling the period and amplitude of Bragg filters in an optical medium having a longitudinal axis that is sensitive to at least some wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. A phase mask of period .LAMBDA. is laid close to the optical medium at an angle .alpha. with respect to the longitudinal axis of the optical medium. A single beam of electromagnetic radiation is directed at an incidence angle .phi. with respect to normal incidence on the phase mask so that the radiation is diffracted, resulting in an interference pattern having a period P impinged into the optical medium so that the period P of the interference pattern may be altered by changing the incidence angle .phi. or the angle .alpha. . This method is simpler, more flexible and more suitable for mass production than existing methods.
