Novel ultrasonics

摘要

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers has completed an investment through its Stephenson Fund in Inductosense. a spin-out from Bristol University. Launched in 2015, the Stephenson Fund, named after IMechE founder George Stephenson, is intended to help companies bring innovative R&D to market. Inductosense is developing novel ultrasonic sensors to detect corrosion. Known as WAND (wireless and non-destructive), the system works by bringing a measurement probe near to a passive, compact, battery-free sensor installed on a structure.
