TL;DR: In this article, a single eddy current coil is used to measure multiple parameters of conductive targets simultaneously using a single fixed frequency, such as the thickness of a target and the distance of the target from the coil.
Abstract: This invention uses a single eddy current coil to measure multiple parameters of conductive target simultaneously using a single fixed frequency. For example, the system consisting of the sensor coil, connecting cable, and signal conditioning electronics, can measure the thickness of a target and the distance of the target from the coil. Alternatively, it could simultaneously measure the distance of the target to the coil, i.e. lift-off, and one of the electrical properties of the target, such as the resistivity. The present system is useful in material characterization of targets where the lift-off information can be used to correct for any lift-off induced error in the apparent resistivity. In general, it can determine any pair of two characteristics of the target/sensor relationship simultaneously. This invention provides significant improvement in accuracy and flexibility of eddy current sensors and can be manufactured at a low cost due to the use of a single coil and a single fixed frequency in the signal conditioning electronics. An alternative sensor configuration utilizing two sensors differentially to produce a cladding insensitive--displacement measurement is also contemplated by the present invention.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an exploratory study of senior leaders in organizations formally adopting principles of sustainability and how these leaders enact the tasks of leadership: setting direction, creating alignment, and maintaining commitment within the context of sustainability.
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to expand the field of sustainability/corporate social responsibility research to include a focus on leadership. It aims to present an exploratory study of senior leaders in organizations formally adopting principles of sustainability and how these leaders enact the tasks of leadership: setting direction, creating alignment, and maintaining commitment within the context of sustainability.Design/methodology/approach – The study uses a qualitative approach, sampling senior executives from organizations formally adopting sustainability practices and using a structured interview to uncover their leadership practices related to sustainability.Findings – Leaders adopting sustainability practices are similar to other “effective” leaders and yet they also have additional capacity and mindset to include a wider expanse of stakeholders and a different mindset as to the purpose of organizations.Research limitations/implications – Limited sample of senior executives/CEOs, as wel...

TL;DR: This paper identifies a class of numerical integration algorithms which have accuracy and stability properties appropriate to descriptor systems and which preserve structure, detect nonsolvable systems, resolve initial value consistency problems, and are applicable to "stiff" descriptor systems.
Abstract: In this paper we analyze numerical methods for the solution of the large scale dynamical system E\dot{y}(t)=Ay(t)+g(t),Y(t_{0})=y_{0} , where E and A are matrices, possibly singular. Systems of this type have been referred to as implicit systems and more recently as descriptor systems since they arise from formulating system equations in physical variables. Special cases of such systems are algebraic-differential systems. We discuss the numerical advantages of this formulation and identify a class of numerical integration algorithms which have accuracy and stability properties appropriate to descriptor systems and which preserve structure, detect nonsolvable systems, resolve initial value consistency problems, and are applicable to "stiff" descriptor systems. We also present an algorithm for the control of the local truncation error on only the state variables.
