International Classification:

A61B 1700

US Classification:

128303B

Abstract:

A guide for locating a target object within a visually opaque but x-ray transparent object has a base creating a first reference plane. A vertical post extends upward from the base perpendicular to the first reference plane. First target sighting members, which are at least partially opaque to x-ray are mounted for movement relative to the vertical support member and provide for creating a line parallel to the reference plane through the target. A system is provided for aligning x-ray fluoroscope with the first target. A second target has two target sighting members, one on an arm above the target object and the other on an arm below the target object. The x-ray fluoroscope is aligned with these such that when the x-ray fluoroscope is projecting in a line parallel to the upright support and perpendicular to the reference plane, it extends through opaque sights and through the target. The distance from the second target to the upright support is measured, and the probe is mounted at a predetermined angle, the line of which extends through a point on the vertical post equal to the distance from the post to the second sight divided by the tangent of the predetermined angle.

International Classification:

F16F 710

US Classification:

188379

Abstract:

The inventive passive damping system features the unique harmonization of: (i) a constrained-layer damping subsystem (wherein an elastomer serves as constrained damping material); (ii) an entrained damping subsystem (wherein a particulate serves as entrained damping material); and, (iii) a tuned damping subsystem (wherein modal properties of certain inventive components have been selectively varied in accordance with anticipated resonance frequencies). The invention's effectiveness is aggregative; the total loss factor for the inventive damping system equals the sum of the individual loss factors for the damping subsystems. Consequently, the invention affords a high loss factor in a broad frequency range. Especially in applications involving control of extremely high vibrations, the inventive damping methodology is more efficient and economical than are common damping methodologies.

International Classification:

US Classification:

364571

Abstract:

A method and apparatus is disclosed for calibrating an ultrasonic inspection system having a plurality of transducers (12a, 12b, 12c) coupled by a common amplifier (16) to a distance-amplitude correction (D-AC) circuit comprised of a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (26') which receives, as a function of the transit time of an ultrasonic signal measured by a clock counter (34), a D-AC correction stored in a look-up table in a random access memory (24'). The D-AC correction function stored in the look-up table for each transducer is the inverse of a return signal response curve determined by measuring the peak amplitude of return signals from calibration holes at known depths in a test block (10) while in a calibrate mode, i. e. , with a switch (SW) in a state to bypass the MDAC. An equation of a curve that best fits the peak measurements is then found by a digital computer (20) and used to determine the values of points along a curve superimposed on the response curve, except at near field where the calibration system is provided with truncation for near-field effects.

H04L 9/06

Abstract:

An exchange-traded note (ETN) having a plurality of ETN shares is generated and issued. Each ETN share of the ETN is issued having an initial share price. Buy orders are received to buy one or more ETN shares. The ETN tracks a plurality of internal and external indexes. The ETN share price fluctuates in accordance with the performance of the indexes. Data of the ETN is stored on a memory device and implemented as part of a blockchain architecture. Stored ETN data are updated periodically in response to a change of the plurality of internal and external indexes. An insurance premium cost is based at least in part upon the ETN share price.
