| 20110245676 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ULTRASOUND SIGNAL ACQUISITION AND PROCESSING - The present disclosure relates to the measurement of acoustic noise during ultrasound imaging. In one embodiment, a receive beam is directed in a different direction from a transmit beam when an acoustic noise signal is being measured. When a tissue signal is being measured, the receive beam is directed in substantially the same direction as the transmit beam. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110152662 | IMAGING PALLETS FOR MULTI-MODALITY IMAGING SYSTEMS - A multi-modality imaging system including first and second imaging modality units having respective field of views (FOVs) that are spaced apart from each other. The imaging system also having a positioning system that includes an imaging pallet. The pallet has an elongated support body that includes first and second portions that extend lengthwise along the support body. The first portion is shaped for imaging within the FOV of the first modality unit, and the second portion is shaped for imaging within the FOV of the second modality unit. The first and second portions are shaped differently than each other. The positioning system is configured to position the first portion of the pallet within the FOV of the first modality unit and configured to position the second portion of the pallet within the FOV of the second modality unit. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20100295408 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATOR STATOR MOUNTING - In one embodiment, a system includes a stator mounting kit that includes multiple radial adjustment shims having different thicknesses from one another. The stator mounting kit also includes multiple stator alignment adapters having different circumferential alignments between a keybar mount and a spring bar mount. The stator mounting kit is configured to enable radial and circumferential alignment between each spring bar and respective keybar in a stator framework via selection of one of the stator alignment adapters and selection of one or more of the radial adjustment shims. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100260932 | COLD SPRAY METHOD OF APPLYING ALUMINUM SEAL STRIPS - A method for applying a seal strip to a surface of a turbine component by accelerating solid particles to a velocity sufficient to cause the solid particles to plastically deform and bond to the surface and each other when impacted on the surface, and impacting the solid particles on the surface so as to cause the solid particles to deform and bond to the surface and each other to form the seal strip on the surface. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100258735 | B10 NEUTRON DETECTOR IN PIE SHAPED SECTORS - A neutron detector array that includes a hollow member circumscribing an axis and bounding a volume. A divider extends parallel to the axis within the hollow member to divide the volume into a plurality of volume portions. A plurality of anodes extend parallel to the axis; at least one anode within each volume portion. A plurality of cathodes wherein the hollow member has an interior surface and the divider has surfaces that are coated with neutron sensitive material. Also, a neutron detector that includes a hollow cathode bounding a volume portion with at least a partial wedge cross-section, and an anode extending thought the volume portion. An electric field exists during operation of the neutron detector within the volume portion, the electric field varying across the cross-section, and the anode being located at an area of maximum field strength within the field. The detector may be used in the array. | 10-14-2010 |
