Abstract: A system for mobile assessments is provided. The system includes a processing device and a memory device. The memory device stores instructions that when executed by the processing device may result in receiving an assessment request associated with physical assets at a remote location relative to an initiator system of the assessment request. An assessment type may be determined based on the assessment request. One or more interactive assessment forms can be retrieved from a database based on the assessment type. The interactive assessment forms may be populated with assessment data based on one or more observed conditions of the physical assets at the remote location. Image data associated with the observed conditions can be captured. The image data can be linked with the assessment data to establish relationship metadata. The image data, the assessment data, and the relationship metadata may be transmitted for storage in the database.

Abstract: A transconductor converts voltage on an inductive sensor to a proportional current using two “coupling” capacitors. Responsive to movement of an electrically conductive target from the null position a resonant current is formed between the two sensor coils. A single differential transistor pair switched by periodic drive signals commutes the net alternating current at the single input to direct current.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first oscilloscope having multiple channels, and a second oscilloscope having multiple channels. The first oscilloscope is configured to operate as a master or as a slave. The first oscilloscope operates as the master by using a first trigger signal and a first clock signal that are native to the first oscilloscope, and the first oscilloscope operates as the slave by using a second trigger signal and a second clock signal that are native to the second oscilloscope. The second oscilloscope is configured to operate as the master or as the slave. The second oscilloscope operates as the master by using the second trigger signal and the second clock signal, and the second oscilloscope operates as the slave by using the first trigger signal and the first clock signal.

Abstract: Light emitting elements with preselected or adjustable impedance characteristics are provided. Embodiments using a preselected impedance characteristic obtain significant performance benefits compared to the prior art. Embodiments having an adjustable impedance may alter the impedance associated with the light emitting component such that it has a substantially constant resistive or reactive impedance that improves certain performance attributes. This solution virtually eliminates the need for external compensation components and relieves the burden of impedance matching and circuit specialization from the driver circuit.
