Appl. No.:

11/178020

Inventors:

Robert J. Hogan - Chandler AZ, US
James A. Hall - Gilbert AZ, US
Surendra Singh - Chandler AZ, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International, Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

G01B 5/02

US Classification:

702171, 73588, 73602, 73620, 73624, 73625, 73628, 73641, 600446, 600449, 600450

Abstract:

A method and apparatus is provided to analyze a dual wall structure having at least one hollow core therein and having the same unknown material sound velocities in walls and in post as well. A transducer is located in at least two different positions with respect to the structure, whereby the transducer propagates an ultrasonic wave toward the dual wall structure. A portion of the ultrasonic wave is reflected back to the transducer. One wave traverses a portion of the dual wall structure that has a core filled with a medium having a known material acoustic property. A second wave traverses a portion of the post that has an unknown material sound velocity. From time of flight measurements of the above mentioned waves, the wall thickness and core shift, if any, can be determined.

US Classification:

42 7502

Abstract:

A two piece upper receiver for a firearm including a first piece having a front end, a rear end, a top, and a bottom, the first piece constructed to operatively carry a bolt carrier and bolt, and to have a barrel coupled to the front end. The bottom is constructed to have a lower receiver coupled thereto. The first piece includes a backbone extending along the top between the front end and the rear end, the back bone having upwardly directed indexing surfaces. A second piece overlies the backbone and includes mating surfaces engaging the indexing surfaces, aligning the second piece with the first piece. A receiving structure is opposite the mating surfaces for receiving accessory devices mounted thereon. Fasteners fixedly attach the second piece to the first piece to form a complete upper receiver.

Abstract:

A welding system is provided for welding a first work piece to a second work piece at a joint having a weld face and a root face. The welding system includes a weld face sensor configured to determine first joint characteristics at the weld face; a root face sensor configured to determine second joint characteristics at the root face; a controller coupled to the weld face sensor and the root face sensor and configured to generate positioning signals based on the first joint characteristics and the second joint characteristics; and a welding gun coupled to the controller and positioned proximate to the weld face, the welding gun configured to generate a welding beam for welding the joint based on the positioning signals from the controller.

International Classification:

G03B 42/06

US Classification:

367 7

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments generally relate to non-destructive evaluation methods. More particularly, the disclosed embodiments relate to ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation methods for the evaluation of friction welded bladed discs (“blisks”). In an embodiment, a method for non-destructive evaluation of a bladed disc structure includes identifying a region of interest on the bladed disc structure; positioning an ultrasonic transducer and receiver in the region of interest; scanning the region of interest using the ultrasonic transducer and receiver to produce a scan image; and comparing the scan image against a reference image to determine the presence of an anomaly in the region of interest.

International Classification:

B26D 7/06
G05B 15/02

Abstract:

A present application relates to a chain management system that includes a chain dispensing unit and/or a chain cutting device or table configured to conveniently store reels of roller chain and/or separate the reels into customized strand lengths while significantly reducing the amount of handling and manual disassembly tooling required. The chain dispensing unit includes a rotatable station carousel capable of holding a plurality of reels, which allows reels of neatly stored roller chain to be stored, moved and/or dispensed using a single control point. Reels of the chain dispensing unit can be cycled to a position from which the user can dispense the roller chain to the chain cutting table where the roller chain can be disassembled into customized strand lengths, and then the unused remainder of the roller chain can be returned to the reel.
