Abstract: The present invention discloses an ultrasonic ranging device and method. The ultrasonic ranging device comprises a housing, at least two transducer cores, and at least one isolation component. The housing includes at least two spaced cavities, each for accommodating one of the at least two transducer cores. The isolation component is positioned at the rear end of the transducer cores and forms a predetermined gap by separating from the housing at the rear end of the transducer cores to isolate and attenuate vibrations interference between the two transducer cores. The at least one isolation component effectively addresses the interference issue between at least two transducer cores, such as the transmitting transducer core and the receiving transducer core, in extreme conditions (e.g., compression, low temperature).

Abstract: A device and method used to image conduits, such as pipes, wellbores and tubulars, with imaging sensors, such as cameras and ultrasound arrays. The speed and location of the device are determined using one or more speed sensor modules. Images are then registered to more precise axial locations along the conduit than are normally possible using wireline encoders or other methods. The conduit may be visualized to proper scale for improved analysis of defects.

Abstract: In various examples, techniques for sensor-fusion based object detection and/or free-space detection using ultrasonic sensors are described. Systems may receive sensor data generated using one or more types of sensors of a machine. In some examples, the systems may then process at least a portion of the sensor data to generate input data, where the input data represents one or more locations of one or more objects within an environment. The systems may then input at least a portion of the sensor data and/or at least a portion of the input data into one or more neural networks that are trained to output one or more maps or other output representations associated with the environment. In some examples, the map(s) may include a height, an occupancy, and/or height/occupancy map generated, e.g., from a birds-eye-view perspective. The machine may use these outputs to perform one or more operations

Abstract: Acoustic imaging systems can include an acoustic sensing array, an electromagnetic imaging tool, a display, and an audio device. A processor can receive data from the acoustic sensor array and the electromagnetic imaging tool to generate a display image combining acoustic image data and electromagnetic image data. Systems can include an audio device that receives an audio output from the processor and outputs audio feedback signals to a user. The audio feedback signals can represent acoustic signals from an acoustic scene. Systems can provide a display image to a user including acoustic image data, and a user can select an acoustic signal for which to provide a corresponding audio output to an audio device. Audio outputs and display images can change dynamically in response to a change in pointing of the acoustic sensing array, such as by changing a stereo audio output.

Abstract: One or more embodiments herein can enable identification of an obstacle free area about an object. An exemplary system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components can comprise an obtaining component that obtains raw data defining a physical state of an environment around an object from a vantage of the object, and a generation component that, based on the raw data, generates a dimension of a portion or more of a virtual polygon representing a boundary about the object, wherein the boundary bounds free space about the object. A sensing sub-system can comprise both an ultrasonic sensor and a camera that can separately sense the environment about the object from the vantage of the object to thereby generate separate polygon measurement sets.

Abstract: A sensor device may include a signal generator circuit configured to generate a supplemental signal that is combined with an ultrasonic reception voltage signal generated by an ultrasonic receiving element in response to received ultrasonic waves. The sensor device may comprise an ultrasonic receiving circuit configured to receive the combination of the ultrasonic reception voltage signal and the supplemental signal, and generate a detection signal that indicates when the space is occupied. The sensor device may also comprise a control circuit configured to receive the detection signal and detect an occupancy condition in the space in response to the detection signal. The combination of the supplemental signal with the ultrasonic reception voltage signal may ensure that the magnitudes of signals processed by the ultrasonic receiving circuit are large enough that the ultrasonic receiving circuit may appropriately generate the detection signal and the control circuit may detect the occupancy condition.
