Latest Patents
Max Rutloh holds a patent for a "Circuit for generating sawtooth shaped pulses for ultrasonic instruments." This invention describes a circuit designed to adjust the sweep time provided by a sweep generator used in ultrasonic test instruments. The adjustment process takes into account three critical test parameters: the angle of sound propagation in the workpiece, the speed of sound propagation, and the thickness of the workpiece. The patent outlines a method where the quartz-stabilized frequency of an oscillator is divided by the angle function value corresponding to the sound propagation angle set for the test instrument. This divided frequency is then fed into a frequency multiplier within a phase-locked loop circuit, which includes an adjustable frequency divider to accommodate the speed of sound propagation. Additionally, a time reference stage with another adjustable frequency divider allows for the adjustment of workpiece thickness. The duration of the rectangular pulses generated by this stage reflects the three adjusted parameters with high accuracy, matching the precision set by the quartz-stabilized oscillator.
