摘要： A system and method for inspecting an assembly including components joined by self-piercing rivets by a computerized tomography (CT) scan of the joint is provided. The system includes a source of x-rays, a mounting unit for an assembly including the joint which is subject to the x-rays, and an x-ray detector disposed opposite the source for detecting the x-rays. The x-rays are provided at a high energy level of at least 200 kV to generate images having a resolution of at least 200 micrometers (μm). A computer stitches the images together to form reconstructive images which show details of the joint. The assembly to be inspected is not destroyed or modified prior to the inspection process. The resolution of the images generated by the x-rays is high enough to determine the presence of cracks, if any, the interlock (SH), minimum thickness (Tmin), and overall structure of the unmodified assembly.

摘要： In some examples, a method for identifying secondary porosities can include correlating multiple sets of data of a subsurface formation, identifying one or more secondary porosities based on the correlated data, and determining a volumetric estimation of the subsurface formation based on the one or more secondary porosities. The multiple sets of data are selected from one or more of core sample images, borehole images, caliper enlargement data, bad-hole flag data, and loss circulation data.

摘要： Disclosed embodiments include an x-ray imaging system and method that includes a radiation source configured to generate radiation directed toward an object. A computing device may be configured to monitor a number of pixels and capture imaging data when at least some of the radiation passes through the object and impinges on the number of detectors enabling adaptive frame grabbing, which may optionally provide image data input for automatic exposure control (AEC) for exposure duration adjustment based on an AEC output. Such systems and methods may significantly simplify system implementation, irrespective of angular range, number of projection views and scan time in tomosynthesis and other three-dimensional x-ray systems, as well as for two-dimensional x-ray scans with variable exposure pulse duration.

摘要： A battery holder device and a battery test system including the same are disclosed. The battery holder device and the battery test system including the same can grip battery calls and test the battery calls while rotating the gripped battery calls about two different axes. The battery holder device comprises a holder module including a holder housing forming a shape extending in a longitudinal direction and including a holder housing body, and a gripper movably coupled to the holder housing body. The holder housing body includes first and second holder housing body walls that are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the holder housing and face each other, and a holder housing body bottom connecting the first and second holder housing body walls.

摘要： There is provided a method for scanning of an object in a scanning apparatus. The method comprises placing the object into a jacket which surrounds the object or a part of the object to be scanned. The volume of the jacket surrounding the object is solid or filled with a filling material. The jacket is disposed on a support of the scanning apparatus, so that the jacket is positioned between an imaging beam emitting element and an imaging beam receiving element oppositely disposed to either side of the support. The support is rotatable relative to the emitting and receiving elements about an axis of rotation to allow creation of an image from projections each taken at a different relative angle of rotation. The method further comprises operating the scanning apparatus at the multiple relative angles of rotation to produce an image of the object.

摘要： There is provided a method for scanning of objects in a scanning apparatus. The method comprises disposing the objects on a support of the scanning apparatus, so that the objects are positioned between an imaging beam emitting element and an imaging beam receiving element oppositely disposed to either side of the support. The support is rotatable relative to the emitting and receiving elements about an axis of rotation to allow creation of an image from projections each taken at a different relative angle of rotation. The objects are positioned adjacent each other on the support in a configuration that reduces the variation in material thickness penetrated at the multiple relative angles of rotation. The method further comprises operating the scanning apparatus at the multiple relative angles of rotation to produce an image of the objects.
