摘要： A method for determining damage in a structural health monitoring system comprising a plurality of sensors distributed across a structure is disclosed. The method includes decomposing the plurality of sensors into a plurality of sub-arrays. Each sub-array is associated with a current sensor. For each sub-array, data is collected, the data corresponding to electrical signals produced by waves initiated by the current sensor and detected by a receiving sensor. The data is used to calculate a damage measurement for the sub-array. Then, the damage measurement determined for each sub-array is combined to determining an overall damage assessment from the combined damage measurements.

摘要： A structural health management system is disclosed. The structural health management system comprises a zone of sensors. A first sensor data collector is coupled to a first subset of the sensors in the zone; and a second sensor data collector coupled to a second subset of the sensors in the zone. In the present invention, loss of a sensor data collector does not result in the loss of ability to perform nondestructive testing in an entire zone.

摘要： An improved band seal clamp for clamping of tubular members is disclosed which features a band-like clamping member having slots formed in its ends for interaction with bolts held rigidly in holes formed in a spacing member disposed between the ends of the clamp. The ends of the band are shaped to define surfaces at an angle with respect to the surface of the tubular members which coact with force bars having corresponding shapes. Throughbolts fit through the slots in the band, holes in the force bars and the holes in the spacing member, so that upon tightening of the bolts the ends of the band clamp are forced outward, thus exerting a compressive stress on the tubular member.

摘要： An apparatus for the heat-treating of a heat-hardenable steel cruciform article having a weld seam includes a heating element to heat the weld seam to a point that an austenitic transformation occurs, and a quenching chamber to cool the weld seam, causing the formation of Martensite and an associated expansion. The quenching is rapid since slow quenching may allow a crystalline phase other than martensite to form. The apparatus may comprise rollers operable to convey the welded cruciform article through the apparatus at a speed such that the weld seam is subjected to heating for a predetermined heat time sufficient to cause a formation of martensite there within, and such that the heated portion reaches the quenching chamber and is quenched to create a substantial amount of martensite, e.g., an amount sufficient to cause expansion of the part.

摘要： A highly reliable data processing system using the pair-spare architecture obviates the need for separate memory arrays for each processor. A single memory is shared between each pair of processors wherein a linear block code error detection scheme is implemented with each shared memory, wherein the effect of random memory faults is sufficiently detected such that the inherent fault tolerance of a pair-spare architecture is not compromised.

摘要： A method for operating a memory checker in a command monitoring architecture comprising at least two processing lanes comprises a first step of receiving a command to activate a first test mode. The first test mode comprises an initial step of inverting data read from a memory and inverting data written to the memory. Next, it is determined if there is a match between data associated with a first processing lane and retrieved by a second checker logic associated with a second processing lane and with data associated with a second processing lane and retrieved by a first checker logic associated with the first processing lane. A failure in the memory is determined if there is no match.
