  • SYSTEM FOR BOOM AND EXTENSION GEOMETRY DETERMINATION AND REPORTING
    Publication number: 20240025706
    Abstract: A first sensor node is fixed to a tool on a derrick truck, and a second sensor node fixed to the derrick truck at a location that does not move when either of the boom and the tool move. The first sensor node measures a position of the tool and a distance between the tool and the first sensor the second sensor node. The measured position of the tool and the distance between the first and second sensor node is reported to a load moment computer.

  • Work area indicator
    Patent number: 11655128
    Abstract: A device includes a bevel pinion meshed to a bevel ring in rigid fixation with a pinion gear engaged with a slew ring to control rotation of the slew ring. A rotation sensor provides an electrical output corresponding to a rotational position of an input gear of the rotation sensor. A reduction gearing system interposes the bevel ring and the input gear of the rotation sensor. The gearing reduction system provides a reduction ratio enabling the rotation sensor to determine rotational position of the slew ring.

  • WIND SPEED INDICATOR
    Publication number: 20220194750
    Abstract: A solid-state anemometer mounted to an upper location of a load boom and detecting a wind speed reading at the upper location on the load boom. A wireless transmitter communicatively coupled to the solid-state anemometer and obtains the wind speed reading and wirelessly transmits the same to a receiver.
