摘要： A source of ultrasound waves or energy is directed at the wafer that is to be inspected in a direction that is essentially perpendicular with the surface of the wafer. The ultrasonic waves are intercepted and analyzed after these waves have passed through the wafer that is being inspected. From this analysis and comparing the captured waves or ultrasonic energy with the emitted ultrasonic waves, conclusions can be drawn on defects and other irregularities that are present in the medium, that is the wafer, through which the ultrasonic waves have passed.

摘要： A multi-probe system for real-time measurement of a fluid level in a pipe with steady-state and turbulent flow conditions is presented. The multi-probe system includes a plurality of multiplexed transducers attached in a non-destructive fashion to walls of the pipe. Multiplexing of the transducers activate and deactivate the transducers in sequence to generate independent pairs of transmit and receive wave signals through the pipe. Each transmit and receive signal pair can be used to independently establish a time-of-flight from the transducer and back to the transducer as reflected by a surface of the fluid. The transducers can be arranged as longitudinal and/or circumferential arrays on the walls of the pipe. An algorithm that determines the time-of-flight eliminates received signals having an energy level lower than or equal to a predefined minimum energy level and eliminates any time-of-flight that is shorter than a minimum threshold time.
