An ultrasonic probe used for inspecting a workpiece comprising a delay body and a transducer array having a plurality of transducer elements mounted on the delay body. The plurality of transducer elements of the transducer array are mounted on the curved outer surface of the delay body. The transducer elements in the array of elements are equidistant from a center of the radius of curvature of the delay body, so that sound waves simultaneously generated by two or more of the transducer elements arrive at the center of the radius, also referred to as the origin point, at the same time. For any delay body, there is a single origin point, since a curved body of constant radius can have but a single center. Since the distance from any of the transducer arrays to the index point is the same, the time delay from the index point to any of the elements is the same, so that the time delay of reflected sound passing through the index point received by a transducer in the array is not subject to a time delay resulting from the geometry of the delay body. The probe is particularly useful for inspecting work pieces that are articles of manufacture having at least one surface having a geometry that can be coupled to the workpiece.

Pending structural engineer approval, the invention replaces previous technology for creating vertical separation between concrete or soil and exposed structural wood posts. Previous accommodations for this requirement call for obtrusive raised concrete bases (considerably wider than the posts themselves) under the posts. Such bases create the potential for personal injury and are visually unappealing. The bracket base is of equal size and shape to the bottom of the cross-cut wood post. The single center-mounted bolting strap allows for recessing the nuts, bolts, and washers flush to the outside of the post. There are, thus, continuous planes along the four sides of the post from its top to the bottom of the exposed bracket. The entire post and bracket can be clad with any suitable material (wood, manufactured sidings, aluminum, vinyl, etc.) to conceal the entire bracket and structural post.
