Title: Brandon D Fallon: Innovator in Ultrasonic Inspection Technology
Introduction
Brandon D Fallon is a notable inventor based in Reston, VA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of ultrasonic inspection technology. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique patent that enhances the efficiency of tray production systems.
Latest Patents
Brandon holds a patent for an "Ultrasonic test chamber for tray production system and the like." This invention describes a method and apparatus for ultrasonic inspection of one or more objects in an object holder. In the first embodiment of the method, the objects are immersed in a tank containing coupling fluid. A flow of fluid is generated in the tank beneath the object holder, producing a suction pressure that tends to hold the objects in the holder. Each object is insonified with ultrasound from an ultrasonic transducer, and the ultrasound reflected from or transmitted through the object is sensed. In a further embodiment, the object to be inspected is moved between the upper and lower chambers of a scanning station, over a surface in the lower chamber. A coupling fluid is supplied to the upper chamber, allowing it to flow through one or more holes in the bottom of the upper chamber. This fills the space between the ultrasound emitting surface of the ultrasonic transducer and the object to be scanned, providing coupling for the ultrasound and helping to hold the objects in the object holder.
