Ultrasonic Testing Of Fitting Assembly For Fluid Conduits With A Hand-Held Apparatus

View page
US Patent:
7284433, Oct 23, 2007
Filed:
Jun 17, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/518337
Inventors:
Richard A. Ales - Mentor OH, US
William H. Glime - Painesville OH, US
John Barry Hull - Leicestershire, GB
Jeffrey M. Rubinski - Wickliffe OH, US
Michael Douglas Seymour - Nottinghamshire, GB
Peter C. Williams - Cleveland Heights OH, US
Wenxian Yang - Nottinghamshire, GB
Assignee:
Swagelok Company - Solon OH
International Classification:
G01N 29/04
US Classification:
73597, 73599, 285 93
Abstract:
Hand-held apparatus and method for determining relative and/or absolute axial position of a conduit end within a fluid coupling includes application of input ultrasonic energy in the form of transient shear waves and analyzing the reflected energy. Application of the input energy collected at different radial positions about a first axial location is used with wavelet based correlation techniques to better analyze the reflected energy signals. Quality of the abutment between the conduit end and a surface associated with the coupling may also be determined as a separate or combined feature of the axial position determination.

Apparatus Having Dc Arc Start In Parallel With Welder Power Supply

View page
US Patent:
8129659, Mar 6, 2012
Filed:
Oct 19, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/445588
Inventors:
Kevin C. Silk - Stow OH, US
Richard A. Ales - Solon OH, US
Assignee:
Swagelok Company - Solon OH
International Classification:
B23K 9/10
B23K 9/12
US Classification:
219133, 2191301
Abstract:
A DC arc start function for a welder. The arc start function is realized using a universal input DC regulator coupled to a DC to DC converter that produces a regulated DC voltage that is sufficient to strike an arc at an electrode of the welder.

Assignee:
Swagelok Company - Solon OH
International Classification:
F16L 35/00
US Classification:
285 93, 2853827
Abstract:
Mechanically attached connections for conduits may include a conduit gripping member and first and second connection members. The first and second connection members may be, for example, a nut member and a body member where the connection members cause axial movement of the conduit gripping member to grip and seal the conduit when the assembly is pulled-up. The mechanically attached connection may include a sensing function for detecting or sensing a condition or characteristic of at least one of the following: the mechanically attached connection, one or more of the connection members, the fluid contained by the mechanically attached connection, or a combination thereof. The sensing function may be, for example, a sensor that is integrated with at least one of the nut member and the body member.

Filed:
Oct 4, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/957832
Inventors:
Richard Ales - Mentor OH, US
William Glime - Painesville OH, US
International Classification:
G01F003/20
US Classification:
073270000
Abstract:
Diaphragm position sensing and movement sensing for diaphragm valves is realized with one or more sensors that are directly disposed with the diaphragm or directly sense the diaphragm itself rather than an associated part of a valve. The invention contemplates many different types of sensors and also temperature compensation.
