Imperium,
Inc. Announces Joint Project with BOEING
for Wireless Remote Expert Inspection
Ultrasound Imaging Camera Allows for Remote
Simple Monitoring
of Composite Damage in Real Time
|
February 9, 2009 – Silver Spring, MD - Imperium, Inc., the developer
of the world’s only portable ultrasound imaging camera, the Acoustocam,
announced today a method that will allow maintenance experts to
remotely inspect and review composite structures located at another
facility in real-time.
The project, which has been developed in collaboration with Boeing
[NYSE: BA] engineers, will allow maintenance personnel to use Imperium’s
Acoustocam to quickly survey damage without having to bring in harder
to set up, conventional ultrasound equipment – all from remote locations.

The Acoustocam
is a hand-held device that may be used as part of quick survey
of suspected damage areas. The device shows subsurface defects
that cannot be seen visually. The user simply places a probe
against the aircraft structure and with proper equipment setup,
subsurface defects appear on a handheld monitor in real time.
The advantage of the remote operator interface is that the
expert NDE operator may be remotely situated.

Imperium is the sole provider of the Acoustocam, an ultrasound camera
that is potentially more understandable, useable, and affordable
than anything like it currently on the market.
We believe remote expert monitoring can benefit the inspection
process in countless ways for manufacturers of composite structures,”
said Bob Lasser, President of Imperium. “We plan to roll
out the program nationwide in 2009.”
Customers can purchase a satellite package to use the Acoustocam
monitoring technology, if wireless capability is not available
in their geographic location.
