Latest Patents
Kevin holds a patent for "Averaged guided wave inspection technology for ribbon cable." This invention discloses an averaged guided wave inspection method for a throttle cable. The process involves accessing the engine end of the throttle cable and applying a transducer to the end of the ribbon cable. The transducer generates an ultrasonic guided wave that propagates through the cable and reflects back from any discontinuities in the ribbon cable's cross-section. By measuring the time taken for the reflected wave to return to the receiver, the location of any defects along the cable can be identified. This method also includes moving the ribbon cable and transducer to different positions to average out unwanted noise caused by external influences.
