Title: Innovations by Jung Ryul Lee
Introduction
Jung Ryul Lee is a notable inventor based in Daejeon, South Korea. He has made significant contributions to the field of ultrasonic imaging and inspection technologies. With a total of 3 patents, his work focuses on enhancing the safety and efficiency of pressure vessel inspections.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is an inspection apparatus for a pressure vessel. This innovative device inspects a pressure vessel using laser ultrasound. The apparatus includes an oscillation device that oscillates an excitation laser to excite the pressure vessel. A conduit guides the excitation laser from the oscillation device into the pressure vessel. The conduit has one end inside the pressure vessel and the opposite end outside. Additionally, the apparatus features a reflector inside the pressure vessel to reflect the excitation laser and a detector that captures ultrasonic waves generated by the excitation laser. The design allows for adjustments to the optical path of the lasers to ensure accurate measurements.
Another significant patent is for an apparatus and method for full-field pulse-echo laser ultrasonic propagation imaging. This system generates ultrasounds on a structure by scanning it and emitting laser beams. It simultaneously senses ultrasounds that propagate through the thickness of the structure, creating a comprehensive ultrasonic propagation image. This technology enables the visualization of through-the-thickness defects, providing critical information for structural integrity assessments.
