    Abstract: An in situ breast tumor temperature profile measuring probe includes a rod, thermal sensors and electrical output leads. The thermal sensors are formed in spaced apart holes in an outer insulating layer of the rod and a common electrical input lead to provide an electrical input signal to the thermal sensors is disposed below and has portions exposed at the holes and electrically connected to the thermal sensors. The thermal sensors receive the electrical input signal from the common electrical input lead, sense the temperature of biological matter adjacent to the thermal sensors and produce an electrical output signal correlated thereto. Each electrical output lead mounted to the outer insulating layer is in electrical contact with a different one of the thermal sensors to receive the electrical output signal from the one thermal sensor and output the same.

    Abstract: An eddy current probe which can be moved by hand to a surface to be tested. A toroidal-shaped first resilient member contacts the bottom face of a support member. An elastic membrane extends over the bore of the first resilient member, contacts the bottom lateral surface of the first resilient member, and is unattached to the radially-inward-facing surface of the first resilient member. A more elastic, second resilient member is placed in the bore, is unattached to the first resilient member, and contacts the bottom surface of the elastic membrane. A flexible, surface-conformable, eddy current sensing coil overlies a portion of the bottom side of the second resilient member.

    Abstract: A system and method for determining fiber-depth of at least one layer of reinforcing fibers within an electrically conductive workpiece is provided. The system comprises an eddy current probe having one or more eddy current elements for generating a respective electrical signal indicative of a spacing with respect to a predetermined section of the reinforcing fibers. A signal processor is connected to the eddy current probe to receive and to process each spacing-indication electrical signal so as to generate data indicative of fiber-depth of the predetermined section relative to a workpiece surface. A display device may be connected to the signal processor to provide visual indicia representative of the fiber depth. Further a controller may be connected to receive and store the fiber-depth data which can be used by a machining device for selectively removing material from the workpiece surface, in accordance with the stored fiber-depth data. The eddy current elements may form a substantially colinear row of eddy current elements each cooperating to determine the actual fiber axis orientation of reinforcing fibers within the workpiece.

    Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for normalizing and calibrating a sensor array. The sensor array can comprise differential element sensors, such as for example eddy current sensors, or absolute sensors. A single test specimen is used to normalize and calibrate the sensor array using one or more scans of the test specimen. Notably, only one alignment of the sensor array to the test specimen is required. The test specimen is preferably made of the same or similar type of material as the part to be tested and is of a similar geometric shape that can have a simple flat surface or a more complex surface. A linear feature and several notches are machined into the surface of the specimen by using, for example, electro-discharge machining methods, to provide the necessary signals when scanned by the sensor array. Signals from the linear feature on the test specimen are used to remove any bias and to normalize the dynamic ranges of all of the sensors in the array. Signals from the notches are used to establish the gain settings for the sensors in the array.

    Abstract: A thermocouple array includes a dielectric layer having via openings therethrough, a first patterned conductive layer facing one surface of the dielectric layer, and a second patterned conductive layer facing another surface of the dielectric layer. Portions of the second patterned conductive layer can extend through the via openings to couple respective portions of the first patterned conductive layer. The second patterned conductive layer has a different thermal emf than the first patterned conductive layer. The dielectric layer, the first patterned conductive layer, and the second patterned conductive layer can be surface-conformable.
