Title: Wai Lai Winnie Ying: Patent Innovation in Metallurgical Vessel Inspection.
Introduction
Wai Lai Winnie Ying is an inventor associated with Oakville, CA, and Hatch Ltd. His patent work addresses the inspection of metallurgical furnace walls using acousto-ultrasonic techniques.
Latest Patents
Ying is named on 1 patent: “Systems, Methods and Apparatus for Acousto-Ultrasonic Assessment of Metallurgical Vessels.” The invention describes methods and apparatus for inspecting metallurgical furnace walls. It processes signals from sensors that detect reflected stress waves created when an impactor strikes a vessel wall. By comparing frequency-domain signals and filtering out peaks that do not appear across multiple signals, the method can estimate wall thickness or identify the location of a defect.
Career Highlights
Ying’s patent reflects an engineering approach to assessing the condition of metallurgical vessels. The disclosed method combines impact-generated stress waves with signal analysis to support evaluation of furnace walls.
Collaborations
Ying is associated with Hatch Ltd. His listed coworker is William Watson.
Conclusion
Wai Lai Winnie Ying’s patent work focuses on using acousto-ultrasonic signal analysis to assess metallurgical vessel walls and detect potential defects.
