Publication number: 20200401302Abstract: A system includes a sensing device and an industrial monitor comprising a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to the sensing device. The processor is configured to receive a measurement of a mechanical system during operation and determine a plurality of parameters of the mechanical system based on the received measurement. The system includes a portable monitoring device configured to individually present a series of screens on a display in response to user input, wherein each of the plurality of parameters is respectively associated with a particular screen of the series of screens, and wherein each particular screen is configured to selectively present a navigational indicator when a parameter that is associated with a different screen has an irregular status, and wherein the navigational indicator has an appearance that indicates the user input that will cause the different screen to be presented on the display of the monitoring device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventors: Barrett Joseph Fuhrmann, JR., Brian Martin Axness, Trevor Shaun Kavanaugh

Patent number: 9041716Abstract: A display for showing indicia in the form of a bar graph is provided. The display is configured so that each bar of the bar graph depicts a numerical or other quantitative value of a parameter. Each bar is provided with one or more additional indicia representative of numerical values that are related to the numerical values represented by the bar(s) shown in the bar graph. Each of the one or more additional indicia is positioned to as to be superimposed over the respective bar to which the additional indicia correspond, and depict the relationship(s) between the value represented by the bar and the value represented by the one or more additional indicia.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2012Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Charles Callis Ogles, Barrett Joseph Fuhrmann, Jr., Scott Williams, Charles David Whitefield, II
