US Patent:
7005851, Feb 28, 2006
Filed:
Sep 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/675822
Inventors:
Andrew May - Schenectady NY, US
Changting Wang - Schenectady NY, US
Yuri Alexeyevich Plotnikov - Niskayuna NY, US
Assignee:
General Electric Company - Niskayuna NY
International Classification:
G01N 27/72
US Classification:
324228, 324716, 324242, 32420712, 73 38, 345174
Abstract:
In some aspects, the present invention provides a method for estimating at least one measurement/object property of a metal object. The method includes generating a time-varying eddy current in a wall of the metal object utilizing a pulsed-signal transmitter. The method further includes measuring the time-varying eddy current, fitting the time-varying measured eddy current to a parameterized polynomial, and interpreting the parameterized polynomial to determine one or more measurement/object properties of the metal object.

Omnidirectional Eddy Current Probe And Inspection System

US Patent:
7015690, Mar 21, 2006
Filed:
May 27, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/856381
Inventors:
Changting Wang - Schenectady NY, US
Yuri Alexeyevich Plotnikov - Niskayuna NY, US
Shridhar Champaknath Nath - Niskayuna NY, US

Assignee:
General Electric Company - Niskayuna NY
International Classification:
G01N 27/90
G01N 27/72
US Classification:
324240, 324243, 324260
Abstract:
An omnidirectional eddy current (EC) probe includes at least one EC channel having a first and a second sense coil that are offset in a first (x) and a second (y) direction and overlap in at least one of the directions (x,y). At least one drive coil is configured to generate a probing field for the EC channel in a vicinity of the sense coils. An omnidirectional EC inspection system includes an omnidirectional EC array probe (ECAP) that includes a number of EC channels and drive coils. Each EC channel includes first and second sense coils with opposite polarities. The drive coils have alternating polarities. Electrical connections perform differential sensing for respective EC channels. Corrective drive coils are disposed at respective ends of the EC channels and generate probing fields. An eddy current instrument is connected to the omnidirectional ECAP and receives differential sensing signals from the EC channels.
