    Abstract: An acoustic emission system and method are described herein that detect the glass break energy (or another parameter) that is created when a glass sheet is scored and broken. In the preferred embodiment, the acoustic emission system includes an acoustic emission sensor, a data acquisition system and a processor. The acoustic emission sensor interfaces with a glass sheet and generates an acoustic emission signal which is representative of acoustic emission waveforms that are created when the glass sheet was scored and broken. The data acquisition system records the acoustic emission signal. And, the processor processes the recorded acoustic emission signal to determine the glass break energy (or another parameter). Then, the processor can use the glass break energy (or another parameter) to determine the quality of an edge of the broken glass sheet. In addition, the processor can use the glass break energy (or another parameter) as feedback to adjust the scoring and breaking of subsequent glass sheets.

    Abstract: A method and device for detecting the presence or absence of internal discontinuities or inhomogeneities in a fired or green ceramic honeycomb structure is provided. In the method, an ultrasonic transmitter (33) and receiver (35) are positioned on outer locations of the honeycomb structure, and the transmitter is actuated to generate an ultrasonic wave that is conducted through an inner portion of the honeycomb structure (40), and received by the ultrasonic receiver. The received ultrasonic wave is filtered and then analyzed to determine the presence of internal discontinuities (17). The transmitter generates ultrasonic waves having a frequency of five megahertz or less to maintain a high signal to noise ratio in the propagated wave received by the ultrasonic receiver. The device of the invention includes an array of ultrasonic transmitters and receivers which are simultaneously actuated as a ceramic substrate is moved relative thereto to quickly and efficiently provide a full, non-contact scan of the ceramic body for discontinuities.
