    摘要: A filter internal flaw test apparatus includes a frame with a filter support and at least one pair of transducer supports. A filter is positioned in the test apparatus, and an ultrasound through transmission test and at least one ultrasound pulse echo test are performed on the filter. Data reliability is increased by positioning the pair of transducers in alignment with one another and pushing them toward one another using a force generator with a predetermined uniform force, such as via a regulated pneumatic actuator. A signal generating/receiving device is in communication with the transducers and provides the ability for analyzing the test results to determine whether the filter has an internal flaw, such as a crack or void that would render it unsatisfactory for use as a particulate filter.

    摘要: A method of detecting an internal flaw in a particulate filter includes a step of coupling ultrasonic transducer with the particulate filter. The method also includes a step of moving at least one of the ultrasonic transducer and the particulate filter relative to the other. Consistent coupling of the ultrasonic transducer with the particulate filter is maintained during the moving step. Ultrasonic energy is transmitted from the ultrasonic transducer through a majority of a volume of the particulate filter. The method also includes a step of determining if the particulate filter includes an internal flaw using the ultrasonic energy.

    摘要: A thermoelectric device includes a plurality of n-type thermoelectric elements and a plurality of p-type thermoelectric elements. These thermoelectric elements each have multiple end surfaces that are substantially parallel to each other, and include terminals attached to the end surfaces. The thermoelectric elements also include a support structure with an external surface covered by multiple layers of a thermoelectric material and a flexible substrate. The thermoelectric device also includes a plurality of conductive members which electrically interconnect the thermoelectric elements.
