As for the excellent research from Canada for GHREES, he is one of the few people that are putting in the hard work to elucidate this very important information. He puts to shame the cowards in our society that should be taking action on the ghrees information about the chinese etc, but don't have the balls to do their duty so they leave it up to young civilians to do the job. Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself whether you deserve to wear the uniform you show to your family everyday. I will continue to use this forum to post my research alongside the awesome research put forward by my buddy Canada for GH REES, regardless of the distractions put up by the zombie ghoul shills in here. I choose not to respond to their nonsense and simply put forth my transcripts using their bandwith against them. Also, setting the record straight here because some of you need to get your facts straight before manufacturing lies about us. My wife has nothing to do with this Julia Del Core person or her youtube channel megajewels33, and we definitely do not support the work of Peggy Kane either. Ok, all you gutless shills in here can stfu up now and go home. Geeze, get a life.
Independent Reverse Speaking 28078772
Oh and one more thing Jared before I go, I think this needs to be said. Make sure you keep your ego in check. You always thought you were too good for some of us. You need to look in the mirror when you start accusing others of being an agent or whatever, so don't go preaching to us about manufacturing lies. You also need to look in the mirror. I have no respect for you anymore. As far as I'm concerned you're worse then Nindy. So now go fuck yourself!

A prototype bouncing bomb remnant recovered off Reculver beach in 1996 and now at Dover Castle. Barnes Wallis' bouncing bombs were used by the Royal Air Force's 617 Squadron (led by Guy Gibson) in the Dambuster Raid of 1943 during the Second World War (also see video link below).
An accompanying plaque reads (abridged):
This is a prototype of the 'bouncing bomb' which was used in the famous Dambuster operation. This operation, which breached the Mohne Dam and Eder Dam in Western Germany, was carried out by No. 617 Squadron of the RAF on 16th May, 1943.
These special bouncing bombs resembled giant garden rollers and needed to spin away from the Lancaster aircraft, which were travelling at 220 mph at a height of 60 ft above ground.
This prototype was drop tested in April 1943 off Reculver beach, Kent and was rediscovered in June 1996 [1].
[1] The BBC only records discoveries made in June 1997
To the left of the plaque is a BBC's "People's Museum" Winner Certificate. The entry for the Dover Castle 'bouncing bomb' on the BBC website [2] is appended below. Note that the BBC states the Lancaster speed to be 240 mph as opposed to the 220 mph quoted above. As in the case of the Pharos and Queen Elizabeth's Pocket Pistol, for example, it is not unusual for 'reputable' sources to give conflicting facts! (and no doubt other examples will come to light as more structures within Dover Castle are researched).
The Dambusters, as they are famously known, have been immortalised in World War Two folklore as a result of their courageous attacks on the dams of the Ruhr. For this type of night-time raid they needed a weapon with a difference, something that could penetrate deep into the dam before exploding, creating a massive shock wave that would rip the dam apart and something that could be timed to explode at a predetermined depth.
Barnes Wallis believed that he could create just what they needed. He began testing with marbles and a catapult on a tub of water in his garden, and continued with a special catapult to project lead spheres with a spin. The tests showed that a 7000lb bomb would be sufficient, and in early 1943 he was informed that he had eight weeks to build the bombs and train the crews.
Initially he was set on spherical bombs, but finally settled on cylinders, to be fitted into the Lancaster bombers in such a way that the bombs could be spun at 500 rpm. They were delivered from 60 ft at 240 mph and travelling at that height and speed made the missions incredibly dangerous.
The bomb was fitted with very precise specifications and had to be used in a very exact way to have any effect at all.
[2] At the time of writing the relevant entry is under "Week 3"
Info on the Dam Busters film:
The Dam Busters is a 1954 British war film, set during the Second World War, and documenting the true story of the RAF's 617 Squadron, the development of the "bouncing bomb", and Operation Chastise [also here] - the attack on the Ruhr dams in Germany. It stars Michael Redgrave as Barnes Wallis, and Richard Todd as Wing Commander Guy Gibson. The movie was based on the books The Dam Busters by Paul Brickhill and Enemy Coast Ahead by Guy Gibson. It was re-mastered and re-released in September 2007 in the UK.
Also see "The Dam Busters" (1955) - Comments and Inaccuracies
The bouncing bomb remnant at Dover Castle is located in the same room of the Naafi* Restaurant as Queen Elizabeth's Pocket Pistol (at the northern end of the room, nearest the Keep).

Wordless Wednesday with Linky – DFW Tornado Outbreak
The weather here in North Texas got a bit crazy today! After finishing up a Twitter party I was hosting, I went downstairs to make lunch. As I sat down to eat, I noticed the weather getting bad and news reports of tornadoes. I decided to go grab my girls from school since the storm was set to hit around the time they normally get out. I arrived to find half the parents had the same idea. I grabbed my girls and left JUST BEFORE they went to lock down. The storms lasted until for about 2.5 hours. My dad had to leave work to escape the storms. My mom was sent home. My sister, who works in a hospital, was in a stairwell with others trying to stay safe from a tornado heading her way. My husband was up the road from her in a storage closet at work trying to avoid the same tornado. Another tornado touched down near my brother's shop and family to the East of us were also in the path of a tornado.
Fortunately, not only have we been able to check on family and friends and receive reports that all are well, but the news has not yet reported any fatalities. That is the best news out of all the mess. There is no exact number of tornadoes reported as of yet {6pm CST} nor the degree of damage… and they are saying it will take a couple of days. But, again, thankful that we survived. Things can be replaced… people cannot. {The latest news reports claim at least 12 tornadoes touched down, no fatalities}. Mashable even wrote a post about the storm: "Twitter vs. Tornado"
DFW Tornado Outbreak
I was unable to capture pictures since I was home with all 5 of my children and protecting them. The sirens were going off and the rain was pouring down. When my husband got home {early} I hugged him and cried. It was an emotionally and physically exhausting day. Schools were on lock down. Businesses closed. Cell towers were down and communication was hard {I lost contact with my husband during the storm even}. So, I apologize for the "UN-Wordless" post and non-original pictures… but I wanted to share today. Praying for families affected by the storms… yet joyful that there have been no deaths reported.

HY MUNSON a. FIDDLER APPARATUS FOR PACKAGING REFUSE AND OTHER MATERIAIS The present invention relates to an apparatus for packaging refuse or other waste products. A special object of the invention is to provide a simple device for the repeated compression of refuse material that gradually accumulates in a receptacle, so that the entire volume of the refuse bin can be effectively utilized. The invention is further intended to provide a device which, even in very limited space, can be connected to the outlet of a refuse chute or the like which permits the use of paper bags as the refuse receivers.
The arrangement proposed by the invention is principally characterized by the repeated exposure of the refuse dumped into the receptacle to mechanical compression. For this purpose, use is made of a device principally characterized by a frame which holds the receptacle and incorporates a pivoted compression mechanism that is joumalled in the frame and arranged to be intermittently urged toward the bottom of the receptacle when it enters into the receptacle.
In the event that only limited space is available, the device may be placed at an angle relative to the outlet of the refuse chute, in which case the frame incorporates a support mounted at an angle to the horizontal plane, to hold the receptacle. The receptacle can then be mounted detachably on said support.
The device may also be arranged in a manner that the frame can be placed in a vertical position below a refuse chute. If paper bags are used as the refuse bins, it is desirable to fit the frame with a retractable clamping arrangement for the bag opening.
Regardless of whether the refuse bin is placed vertically or at an angle, a compression mechanism is provided the compression of the contents.
In the accompanying drawings, wherein illustrative embodiments of the invention are disclosed,
FIG. 1 shows a device constructed in accordance with the invention for holding an inclined refuse bin;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation of the device illustrated in FIG. I with the refuse bin locked in its inclined position;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the device in the position of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a view of a device of different construction with a vertical or standing receptacle;
FIG. 5 is a side elevation of the device of FIG. 4 with the receptacle pushed in place, and
FIG. 6 is a plan view of the device of FIG. 5.
The device shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is primarily intended for use where there is relatively little vertical space and with the refuse bin or container arranged at an angle in working position.
The device includes a frame 1 having a base 2 and two vertical posts 3 and 4 projecting upwardly from the base. One of the short sides 6 of a support plate 5 is attached to one of the short sides 7 of the base 2, the opposite short side 8 of the support plate 5 being attached to the posts 3 and 4 at a distance upwardly from the base 2, and the plate 5 thus forms an inclined support for a refuse bin 9.
At the bottom of the refuse bin 9 are attached two rollers 10, 11 mounted at a distance from each other, and the bin 9 is fitted with a projecting catch 12 intended, when the bin 9 is placed in an inclined position on the support plate 5 (see FIG. 1), to be locked in an opening formed in the support plate or by engagement with the edge 5a of the plate, by means of a lever 14 located below the support plate 5 and incorporating a locking lug which in the locked position engages with the catch 12. When catch 12 passes through the opening 12a, the locking lug or lever 14, which is pivotal at 14a, can be turned to fit behind the catch 12 and thus hold the bin to the support plate 5. The refuse bin may either be a conventional metal container or it may be in the form of a paper bag, possible enclosed by a metal casing. According to one of the embodiments of the invention, the receptacle 9 is composed of a paper bag 16 which is detachably placed in a casing that is in the form of a cradle 17 fitted with rollers 10 and 11 and a bottom plate 18 supporting the bottom of the paper bag 16, and also with a clamping device 19 for holding the open top end of the paper bag.
In addition, the frame incorporates a compression mechanism 20 in the form of an angle-shaped lever, the inclined longer pivoting shank section 21 of which is journalled on an axle 22 mounted between the posts 3 and 4. A pressure plate 24 is mounted on the inclined shorter shank section 23 of the lever. The free end of the longer shank section 21 is pivoted on a carrier 26 hinged on a chain 25. The chain 25 is driven by a reversible motor 27, which may be controlled by a microswitch and a relay, not shown, but in the known manner, via a driving gear 28 (FIG. 2) and from which the chain engages a tension roller 29 and extends over an idler roller 30.
At the top end of each of the posts 3 and 4 is mounted guide plates consisting of triangular walls 31 and 32, the base line of which coincides with the top surface of the respective posts 3 and 4. The guide plates are provided with a sensing system in the form of an electric cell 33 with mating light source 34.
The support plate 5 is preferably so shaped that its short side first extends straight upwardly from the short side 7 of the base 2, to then shift to an angle of approximately 45 relative to the horizontal plane. The pressure plate 24 of the compression unit 20 may be suitably attached to the intermediate section 36 of the lever by means of a reinforcement bar 20'.
The apparatus illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 functions in the following manner:
A paper bag 16 having been inserted in the bin 9 and the open top end or mouth of the same secured around the opening in the bin by means of the clamping ring 19, the bin is rolled up to the device and is placed against the support plate 5 in such a way that the catch 12 enters the required opening in the plate. The bin is then locked in this position by turning the lever 14 and thereby engages its locking lug 15 with the catch 12. The device will then assume the inclined position shown in FIG. 2, in which the support plate has, for clarity in illustration, been omitted. At this time the pressure plate is in its rear or retracted position, shown in full lines in FIG. 2, so that the plate 24 coincides with the rear edges of the guide plates 31 and 32. The device is then located below a refuse chute so that the funnelshaped opening formed by the guide plates 31 and 32 and the pressure plate 24 constitutes a natural extension of the refuse chute. When an object is now dumped into the bin through the above-mentioned funnel-shaped opening, the motor 27 will start on an impulse from the sensing system 33, 34 and the compression mechanism 20 will thereby be shifted to the position shown in dotted lines in FIG. 2 and effect a compression of the material gradually accumulating in the bag. The compression mechanism 20 is then immediately returned to its starting or retracted position.
The sensing arrangement described is known per se and is often used to operate a circuit breaker in the current to a motor.
In FIG. 2 the known type of connection between the electric eye 33 and the motor 27 is diagrammatically indicated by the dotted line 33a.
FIGS. 4 to 6 illustrate another embodiment of the invention, the device therein shown being so arranged that the refuse bin is placed vertically directly below the refuse chute.
The device of this embodiment is basically constructed to operate according to the same principle as that shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, but instead of an inclined support plate, it incorporates a frame 36, the four posts 46 of which are vertically adjustable on the corresponding corner posts 47 of a mainly rectangular base plate 37. The adjustability is attained by the known expedient of providing the posts with a row of holes 460 through which cross pins 470 are inserted in selected ones of the holes as shown in FIGS. 4 and to make the corner posts of the required height. The refuse bin is a paper bag 38, the open top end of which is secured in a suspension device 39. The suspension device consists of a frame 40 sliding on its long edge of the sides 41, 42 along corresponding guide rails 43, 44 in the frame 36 and incorporating a fold-up locking yoke 45 which can be folded up, as shown in FIG. 4, when removing the bag 38 from the frame, and with the bag in place constitutes the front short side of the frame, shown at 40.
A compression mechanism 48 with a rectangular pressure plate 49 is pivoted by means of two angle levers 50 mounted at a distance from each other on a horizontal axle 51 extending between two posts 37'. Each angle lever 50 is composed of two parallel bars 53, 54 united by an intermediate section 52, one of the bars 53 being shorter and being mounted on the axle 51 and the other somewhat longer bar 54 carrying the pressure plate 49. At rest, as indicated in solid lines in FIG. 5, the position of the pressure plate 49 is mainly perpendicular to the opening of the bag. The short bar 53 of the angle lever 50 has a triangular plate 540, the tip of which points toward the base plate 37 and is pivoted on a carrier 55 which is attached at its opposite end to a chain 56. The chain 56 extends between a driving gear 57 on a reversible motor 58 via a tension roller 59 and an idler roller 60. The motor 58, tension roller 59 and the idler roller 60 are secured along one side of the frame 36. The chain 56 reciprocates, instead of being continuously moved in one direction so that the plate 49 moves only for the distance that exists between the rollers 59 and 60.
Similarly to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the device of FIGS. 4 to 6 incorporates a sensing system in the form of a photoelectric cell 61 with a matching light source 62.
The operation of this device corresponds substantially to that of FIGS. 1 to 3, and the position 50' of the compression mechanism and the corresponding positions at 54', 55', 49 of the associated components will be seen in dotted lines in FIG. 5.
The invention is not to be limited to the designs shown in the drawings and may be altered in a number of ways. Accordingly, the motion of the compression mechanism may be effected by hydraulic or similar means instead of by chain drive. Likewise, the device shown in FIG. 2 may be employed for conventional refuse bins, in which case the clamping arrangement can be eliminated. The outlet of the refuse chute should preferably be adjusted so that no refuse is dumped during the working stroke of the compression mechanism.
What is claimed is:
1. An apparatus for collecting and compressing refuse and the like in a collection receptacle that is disposed beneath a refuse chute comprising, a frame for supporting the receptacle, the frame including supporting legs which are adjustable as to height, a frame carrying a pressure plate adapted to be entered into the collection receptacle to compress refuse therein, said latter frame having spaced parallel arms which are rigidly connected together by an intermediate portion, one of the arms being pivotally connected to the frame of the apparatus, the other arm being rigidly connected to the pressure plate, a movable chain having a reciprocating movement, a link having one end pivotally connected to the chain, an angular plate attached to the arm that is pivoted to the apparatus frame, the second end of the link being connected to the angular plate, this arrangement being effective to cause the plate'carrying frame to swing the pressure plate into and out of the collection receptacle.
2. A device for collecting and compressing refuse and the like in a collection receptacle that is disposed beneath a refuse chute comprising, a frame for supporting the collection receptacle, a compression device swingably joumalled in a frame and adapted to be intermittently pressed in a direction toward the bottom of the receptacle, the compression device including a frame having U-shaped members provided with an intermediate portion supporting levers at its opposite ends, said levers extending in the direction of the receptacle, one of said levers being an upper one and supporting a pressure plate, another of said levers being a lower one, a reciprocating element, a carrier fixed thereto, the lower one of the levers being connected to the carrier, the lower one of said levers, being swingably joumalled about a horizontal axis in the frame to provide for an arrangement by which refuse and the like can fall freely from a chute into the collection receptacle and wherein the pressure plate can be inserted deep into the receptacle with great force.
3. An apparatus according to claim 2 in which the frame for the compression device includes said U- shaped members, the upper and lower levers thereon being rigidly connected by the intermediate portion, one of the levers on the frame being shorter than the other and being pivotally connnected to the compression device frame, the reciprocating element being a movable chain, means for reciprocatively moving the chain, and linkage articulatively connecting the compression device frame to the chain so that up and down movements of the chain will bodily swing the compression device frame to bring the pressure plate down into the collection receptacle or move it out of the same and when out of the receptacle the pressure plate will be located out of the path of refuse entering into the receptacle.

Wind Power to the Rescue
Texas has just taken a big step in the field of alternative energy -- the Public Utilities Commission today gavepreliminary approval
to a massive, $5 billion plan to bring wind power from gusty West Texas to urban areas across the state.
Consumers will probably see about four bucks a month added to their electric bill.
"We will add more wind than the 14 states following Texas combined," PUC Commissioner Paul Hudson told the Associated Press. "I think that's a very extraordinary achievement. Some think we haven't gone far enough, some think we've pushed too far."

You might be surprised just how forward-thinking Texas -- supposedly the land of Big Oil dinosaurs -- is when it comes to wind power.
The biggest wind farm in the world is near Sweetwater, in north-central Texas.
According to Texas' State Energy Conservation Office, wind capacity in Texas has grown from 180 megawatts in 1999 to almost 4,300 last year. That figure of 4,300 accounts for almost a quarter of all wind energy produced in the U.S.
Suits have been filed against Texas wind farms, claiming they are a source of noise pollution and are just plain ugly, but they've been tossed out of court.
Brian Lloyd, special projects manager for the PUC, tells Hair Balls that it might be as little as four to six years before the energy from the $5 billion project starts showing up in Texas homes.
When you consider the logistics of building lines, buying property, getting rights -- that's pretty quick. That's because Texas' energy issues are self-contained, Lloyd says. Other energy authorities are regional, so projects cross state lines, requiring federal approval and interstate negotiating.
So here's to Texas and wind power.
Maybe it does suck to live right next to a wind farm. But frankly, we don't think we'd even mind it if we saw one next to the offshore oil rigs of Galveston.

This invention relates to the field of inspection and particularly to the field of ultrasonic inspection of materials.
Conventional ultrasonic inspection techniques utilize a narrow beam of longitudinal or transverse type ultrasonic waves which is injected into the part being inspected by contacting the transducer with the part or by contacting the transducer with a transmitting medium, such as water, which also contacts the part. Such contact transducers generally employ piezoelectric crystals.
More recently, electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) have been developed which are capable of injecting ultrasonic waves into the part without any physical contact with the part. Because of the non-contact feature of such transducers, they are particularly useful in many nondestructive testing applications. One such electromagnetic transducer utilizes a periodic meander coil placed in a magnetic field. When an RF signal is applied to the meander coil, an ultrasonic wave is created in the test part, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,850,028.
A later developed type of electromagnetic acoustic transducer does not utilize a periodic meander coil. Rather, this type of transducer includes a row or stack of individual, alternately oriented permanent magnets which create a static, periodic magnetic field. One side of a coil is placed in the periodic magnetic field so that a sheet of current moves transverse to the magnetic field when a pulse of current flows through the coil. This latter type of transducer can be used to create horizontal shear (SH) waves and Lamb waves in an electrically conductive part, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,127,035.
The various EMATs described above are built with a particular periodicity D (determined by the spacing of a meander coil or of a row of magnets) which defines the wavelength, λ, of the ultrasonic wave which the EMAT is designed to generate. The frequency, f, used to generate the ultrasonic wave is then determined from the dispersion relationship between the wavelength, λ, and the velocity, v, of the wave in the particular material of the part being tested. The frequency of the fundamental horizontals hear wave mode, n=0, for example is given by the relationship v=λf. The relationship is more complex for higher order modes and is based on dispersion curves characteristic of the mode type.
Unfortunately, however, electromagnetic transducers exhibit a low efficiency in operation as compared to piezoelectric transducers, which makes it difficult to use an EMAT to locate small defects. Consequently, methods and apparatus for increasing the operating efficiencies of electromagnetic transducers and other transducers which operate with reduced efficiency are needed in the art.
It is a general object of this invention to provide an improved method for generating ultrasonic waves.
A method for generating an ultrasonic wave in a material having a thickness t includes, according to the present invention, the steps of:
(a) positioning a transducer near a surface of the material, the transducer being selected to induce a higher than fundamental mode wave in the material, and
(b) driving the transducer with an AC signal at a frequency which is selected to be above the minimum cutoff frequency for the higher mode wave but is sufficiently close to the cutoff frequency to drive the transducer with at least a preselected increase in efficiency relative to the efficiency attainable with a fundamental mode wave.
In more particular embodiments, the transducer may be configured to generate a higher mode Lamb wave or a higher mode horizontal shear wave. Where a horizontal shear wave is induced, the cutoff frequency fc is defined as:
fc =vs n/2t
vs =the velocity of the horizontal shear wave,
n=the integral mode number of the horizontal shear wave.
The driven frequency may be selected according to the radiated power expression ##EQU1##
Examples of the more important features of this invention have thus been broadly outlined in order that the detailed description which follows may be better understood, and so that the contributions which this invention provides to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention which will be described herein, and which are included wihin the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
Additional objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent by referring to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout all the FIGURES. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a meander coil transducer for generating Lamb waves in a plate;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a periodic magnet transducer with a transverse winding for generating Lamb waves in a plate;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a periodic magnet transducer with a longitudinal winding for generating horizontal shear waves (or torsional waves in a tube);
FIG. 4 is a schematic drawing illustrating the interaction between eddy currents and a multiply reflected shear wave in a plate;
FIG. 5 depicts the relationship between frequency and wavelength in a 0.05 inch thick Inconel alloy plate for three modes of horizontal shear and Lamb waves;
FIG. 6 is a schematic of a test apparatus for practicing the invention; and
FIG. 7 shows the amplitude of a wave obtained utilizing the test apparatus of FIG. 6.
FIGS. 1-3 show different types of electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) suitable for practicing the present invention. A meander coil 2, for example, when placed between the poles of a magnet 4, can be used to generate a Lamb wave 6 in a plate 8, as shown in FIG. 1. The wavelength, λ, of wave 6 is determined by the periodicity D of the meander coil 2.
Periodicity in the transducer can also be obtained by using a stack 10 of magnets 12, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. If a coil 14 is wrapped transversely to the stack 10, as illustrated in FIG. 2, then a Lamb wave 6 will be generated in the plate 8. If a coil 16 is wrapped longitudinally around a stack 18 of magnets, then a horizontal shear wave (a torsional wave in a tube) 22 is generated, as shown for the tube 24 in FIG. 3.
Other configurations and arrangements of electromagnetic transducers, as well as other types of transducers, can be utilized for practicing the invention, provided only that they are capable of inducing forces in the test part which will generate modes of vibration higher than the fundamental mode, generally n=1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
Although noncontact transducers, such as the EMATs illustrated in FIGS. 1-3, are desirable for use in nondestructive testing applications, the low efficiency which has been demonstrated by such transducers relative to other transducers designs has heretofore been a disadvantage which has limited the useful applications of noncontact transducers. It is an outstanding feature of this invention, however, to provide an improved method by which the efficiency of operation of an ultrasonic transducer may be increased.
The principle on which the invention is based is illustrated in FIG. 4 in a perspective cross sectional view of a plate 8. A higher mode wave is shown as a reverberating shear wave 26 (the fuundamental mode wave would propagate down the plate without reflecting from the plate boundaries). It consists of an initial shear wave which strikes the back surface of plate 8 at an incident angle 28 and is reflected at the same angle. The superposition of these two waves, and their subsequent reflections, become the higher mode shear wave 26, which propagates down the plate at an effective velocity slower than the velocity of the fundamental shear wave in the material, as a consequence of the greater distance traveled by the wave as it reflects from surface to surface.
Forces exerted in alternating directions in the material are created by eddy currents which are induced in the plate by the periodicity of an electromagnetic transducer, as shown by the lines 30, 32. When the transducer is operated near the minimum frequency (the cutoff frequency) at which the higher mode will propagate, a resonant condition is created due to the interaction between the forces 30, 32 and the higher mode wave. Consequently, a transducer of finite length will interact with the wave during a number of reflections and thereby may be used to build up a large amplitude ultrasonic wave. The higher mode wave generation will cease when the angle 28 reaches 90�, at which point the reverberating wave does not propagate down the plate and the frequency of operation corresponds to the cutoff frequency. This resonance effect is analogous to a similar effect known to occur with microwaves travelling in a waveguide.
Tests have been performed using a periodic magnet transducer, such as that shown in FIG. 3, to generate torsional waves in the 0.05 inch thick wall of a 0.875 inch diameter Inconel alloy tube. For the n=0 mode, (i.e. no reflections of the wave from the walls of the tube) the signal-to-noise ratio for direct transmission between two transducers was measured at 30 dB. When tests were run in the n=1 mode near the minimum cutoff frequency, the signal-to-noise ratio was found to increase to 56 dB. In addition to being excited with greater efficiency, the higher order mode was also found to be more sensitive to defects located near the tube surface, since most of the ultrasonic energy is concentrated in the near-surface region for higher mode waves.
FIG. 5 provides a graphic illustration of the dispersion curves in a 0.05 inch thick Inconel plate for the symmetric and antisymmetric Lamb waves, represented by curves 34 and 36 respectively, and the horizontally polarized shear (SH) wave represented by curves 38. The minimum cutoff frequency fc for a particular mode is the frequency at which the slope of the curve is zero, as shown at frequencies 40-46 for various higher order modes. For a horizontally polarized shear wave, the cutoff frequency fc can be calculated from the equation:
fc =vs n/2t, (1)
vs =the velocity of a shear wave in the material,
n=mode number≧1, and
t=thickness of the part.
Again in the case of horizontal shear waves, the range of enhanced efficiency may be characterized by proceeding from the expression for the total power Pn radiated by a transducer operating in a mode n:
Pn ∝ω2 /Y2n (2)
Y2n =ρωvs βnt/εn
is an admittance parameter defined as the ratio of power carried per unit r..m.s. of surface displacement, and ##EQU2## Substituting in (2) for Y2n and βn: ##EQU3## Further substitution in (3) for ks elimination of constants yields: ##EQU4##
Relationship (4) indicates that the radiated power theoretically reaches a maximum at the cutoff frequency (ωc =nπvs /t) and diminishes for frequencies higher than the cutoff frequency. Below the cutoff frequency, the expression is imaginary. Thus, the power expression confirms that a particular amount of enhanced transducer efficiency may be achieved by operating the transducer in a higher order mode at a frequency above the cutoff frequency for that mode but sufficiently close to the cutoff frequency to raise the efficiency to the desired level. For example, if twice the unenhanced efficiency is desired, the ratio Pu /P.sub.ω=∞ is set equal to (2) and relationship (4) may be utilized to yield an upper frequency fu ##EQU5## Thus, in order to achieve this particular efficiency enhancement, the transducer would be operated at a frequency between fc and 1.15 fc.
The frequency fc and approximations for fu for Lamb wave modes and for the tube (torsional) modes obey similar, but mathematically more complex, relationships. For a particular type of wave, the frequency of the RF signal can be varied to generate higher order modes and the change in the amplitude or efficiency of wave generation may be measured as the frequency is varied. A rapid drop in amplitude indicates that the cutoff frequency has been reached.
The sensitivity of the efficiency/frequency relationship changes rapidly in the region very close to the cutoff frequency. Since the cutoff frequency varies inversely as the thickness of the material, normal variations in the material thickness can cause problems in the interpretation of data. However, such problems can be minimized if care is taken not to operate the transducer too close to the cutoff frequency, taking into consideration the variation in thickness of the material being inspected.
FIG. 6 is a schematic of a typical apparatus which may be used to practice the invention. A Matec RF pulse generator 48 supplies an AC signal at a selected frequency to the coil of an EMAT transmitter 50, which is placed in side a metal tube 52 being tested. This signal creates an acoustic wave 54, which travels in the tube 52 outward from the transmitter 50. An EMAT receiver 56 is placed in the tube to detect the acoustic wave 54 as it travels past receiver 56 and to detect the reflections or echoes of the wave 54 as they travel past the receiver 56. Receiver 56 may be similar in construction to transmitter 54, or a different type of EMAT can be used. The signal detected by the receiver 56 is amplified in a low noise amplifier 58 and displayed in an oscilloscope 60 or another suitable display device. For purposes of demonstration in a particular test which was conducted, a small hole 62 was drilled in the wall of the tube 52 to represent a defect in the test.
FIG. 7 shows typical ultrasonic wave forms which will be displayed by the oscilloscope 60 when the transmitter 50 is operated at two different frequencies in the arrangement shown in FIG. 6. The ultrasonicwave 54 was excited by an RF tone burst, and the 61 μsec width (at the -40 dB level) of the wave 54 transmitted directly between transmitter 50 and receiver 56 corresponded to a wave packet of spatial length equal to 7 inches along the tube. For this example, defects spaced closer than 3.5 inches along the tube axis would begin to overlap in time. Resolution of defects more closely spaced than 3.5 inches may be readily accomplished, however, by utilizing shorter transducers at the cost of lower sensitivity. The present invention provides for the recovery of the loss of efficiency which is suffered in the attempt to gain this increased sensitivity.
Since the higher order modes travel with a lower group velocity near the cutoff frequency, a second advantage is also realized with the present invention. For a given spatial resolution, a higher mode ultrasonic pulse will have a greater temporal duration than the fundamental mode. This means that the higher mode wave can be detected in a filter with a narrow bandwidth, thereby reducing noise and further improving sensitivity as compared to traditional techniques which operate with fundamental mode waves.
In FIG. 7, the first signal 68 represents the electrical feed-through which occurs when the transmitter electronics are activated. The next signal 70, at approximately 50 μsec, represents the ultrasonic wave which has propagated directly between transmitter 50 and receiver 56. In a system using a transmit-receive switch and a single transducer for both transmission and reception, this signal would occur at the same time as the feed-through signal 68 and hence would reduce the complexity of the display. Signal 72 illustrates the echo reflection from defect 62 and is of primary interest because it indicates the existence and location of the defect in the tube. Finally, signal 74 represents a reflection from the end of the tube.
The dashed trace 76 is typical in amplitude of signals obtained according to the prior art practice of selecting a frequency which will generate and receive the fundamental mode, n=0. It would also be typical for signals of higher order modes, n≧1, when the transmitter is not operated at frequencies sufficiently near the cutoff frequency fc.
The solid trace 78 is typical of the amplitude of a signal obtained when a higher order mode is excited at a frequency near its cutoff, according to the present invention. For comparison, the peaks of the signals are shown as occurring at the same time although there normally would be a small horizontal shift between the two methods depending upon the frequencies used. Clearly, trace 78 provides a much higher signal-to-noise ratio than does trace 76. This improvement, which is obtained by utilizing the method of the present invention, increases the available sensitivity of ultrasonic inspection techniques utilizing electromagnetic acoustic transducers and enables the artisan to take advantage of the noncontact characteristics of EMATs in applications requiring a level of sensitivity which was not attainable utilizing previous inspection techniques.
Numerous variations and modifications may be made without departing from the present invention. Accordingly, it should be clearly understood that the form of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings is illustrative only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

I own shoes from John Lobb of St James, bespoke John Lobb of Hermes in Paris, G&G and Edward Green and I can tell you one thing with great confidence, my Aldens are as important and as welcome in my closet as any of the overpriced bespoke shoes from England.
It is collections like these which justify every bit of enthusiasm we all have for Alden.
A great brand by a great company.
Enjoy your collection, they are fabulous shoes.
May you wear them in great health and joy.Return HomeBack to Forum: Streetwear and Denim
