Abstract

"SISTEMA DE INSPEçãO, CIRCUITO DE ACIONAMENTO, E, VEìCULO DE INSPEçãO". Um veículo robótico de inspeção ultra-sónica é provido com um ou mais transdutores que são excitados por um pulso de excitação longo de banda larga para aplicar ultra-som em uma amostra sujeita à inspeção. Preferivelmente, o pulso de excitação longo de banda larga é chilreado. O veículo robótico também inclui um circuito de acionamento para acoplar o pulso de excitação ao transdutor. Dados associados com o pulso de excitação são usados para desativar os circuitos de acionamento em um momento apropriado. O veículo robótico pode atravessar uma região propensa à combustão e portanto parâmetros elétricos podem ser limitados a níveis intrinsecamente seguros. Porém, parâmetros elétricos podem ser convertidos seguramente a níveis mais altos contanto que a conversão seja inibida para ocorrer só depois que o veículo deixou a região propensa a combustão e entrou em uma região de risco mínimo de combustão.
