Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for monitoring the status of a cutting tool during delayed decoker unit operation, and systems for remotely monitoring the level of coke or foam in a drum during the coking process. One or more sensors or accelerometers is coupled to a location in a delayed coking unit operation to read vibrations emanating from the component that the respective accelerometers are located on. Vibrational data is transmitted to a computer system that manipulates the data to provide useful information that an operator of a delayed coking unit operation may view.

Abstract: In summary, preferred embodiments disclose a system, method, and program for generating and displaying disk drive performance data. A center stripe of one sector of one track on a recordable surface is read. An indication is made indicating whether the read operation to the center of the sector succeeded. Each offset stripe from the center of the track in the sector within the track is read and indication is made as to whether each read operation to each offset stripe succeeded. Output in human observable format is generated indicating whether each offset stripe and the center stripe for the sector and track were read successfully or could not be read.
