  • Patent number: 11897733
    Abstract: A sensing device for a crane detecting unsafe operating conditions includes an inertial measurement unit for measuring pitch and yaw of a hook of the crane attached to a load. The inertial measurement unit is adapted to measure deviation of the hook of the crane from a plumb position and activate an alert element if the deviation of the hook exceeds a predetermined limit.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220019079
    Abstract: A heads-up display apparatus adapted to be mounted to a helmet or item of headgear to display an image to a user includes a housing and an image projection system. The image projection system includes an electronic display, a display controller adapted to receive and process data presented on the electronic display, an aspherical lens, a semi-transparent display panel locatable in a line of sight of a user, and a front surface mirror for reflecting light emitted from the electronic display through the aspherical lens onto the semi-transparent display panel. The electronic display, the aspherical lens and the front surface mirror are arranged within the housing, and the heads-up display apparatus minimises refocusing of an eye of a user when looking from a primary task to the display and back to the primary task.

  • Publication number: 20200325793
    Abstract: A system (10) for detecting abnormal movement resulting from breakage of a shaft in a gas turbine engine. The system comprises a detection circuit including a frangible and brittle fuse portion (12) made from a conductive ceramic and a plunger (18) connected to or adjacent the frangible fuse portion, wherein the plunger may be displaced as a result of movement of the broken gas turbine shaft to break the frangible fuse portion (12) and thereby alter the detection circuit.

  • Publication number: 20200191610
    Abstract: A probe (1, 101) for monitoring a moving engine element and a method of forming a probe (1, 101) for monitoring a moving engine element, the probe (1, 101) comprising: a housing (2, 102) formed of electrically insulating ceramic material; a core (14, 114) formed of electrically insulating ceramic material, the core (14, 114) comprising a front face (16, 116; and a sensing electrode (20, 120) formed of electrically conductive material, the sensing electrode (20, 120) being arranged between the housing (2, 102) and the front face (16, 116) of the core (14, 114) and the housing (2, 102) and the front face (16, 116) of the core (14, 114) being bonded together by the sensing electrode (120).

  • Publication number: 20160277577
    Abstract: An interaction management system receives audio files of interactions between customers and customer service agents and client provided metadata from a client. The interaction management system provides an interface for creating enhanced metadata based on the received audio file and client provided metadata using a capture interface. The capture interface allows a user to label the audio file with event labels and sentiment labels at particular time stamps in the audio file. The interaction management system saves the captured metadata in an interaction file associated with the client provided audio file to be presented back to the user as a visual sequential representation of the captured data.
