The unit includes a stationary portion, a rotating portion, and a main rotational axis (L) that runs in an axial direction from a first end of the rotary actuator unit to a second end of the rotary actuator unit. The first end is opposite the second end. The apparatus also includes a linear position sensor comprising a follower, a sensor, and a sensor arm, wherein the follower is attached to the sensor by sensor arm; and wherein the sensor is attached to the stationary portion. The apparatus also includes a follower track attached or formed in, or on, to the rotating portion. The follower track is aligned in the circumferential direction that is perpendicular to axial direction of the main rotational axis (L). The follower is configured to follow the follower track.

Abstract: A system for detecting a fault in a locking pin for use in an aircraft includes the locking pin; means for receiving a static air temperature; and a controller; wherein said locking pin comprises an internal heater element and at least one internal temperature sensor provided therein. The system also includes means for transmitting said measured temperature sensor information from said at least internal temperature sensor and said static air temperature information to said controller. The controller is configured to compare the static air temperature information with said locking pin temperature sensor information and determine if a difference between the measurements is above a static v. internal temperature threshold value.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a coupling mechanism that can be used to selectively secure two sections of telescopically engaged pipe in a fixed position relative to each other and provide a fluid (e.g., gas and/or liquid) seal between to the coupling mechanism and the two pipes, regardless of whether the pipes are secured in the fixed position or are freely moveable relative to each other. In some embodiments, the coupling mechanism can be used as part of a faucet assembly, which can include an adjustable faucet assembly including the telescopically engaged pipe.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying and quantifying targets within a liquid medium. A raw sidescan sonar image is collected. A region of interest is separated from the image. An image transformation is performed using an extraction algorithm. Salient image characteristics are calculated. Spurious pixels are removed from the image to obtain an extracted region of interest. Particle analysis is performed on the extracted region of interest to generate a feature vector which is presented to a neural network for classification.
