Patent number: 9933295Abstract: A monitoring system includes a plurality of modules to sense temperature and vibrations of a motor assembly, a hub computer to collect the sensed temperature and vibrations, and an analyzer computer to analyze the collected temperature and vibrations. The modules contain detectors that measure a temperature and vibrations in three axes of the motor assembly, a transceiver integrated circuit that measures a die temperature of the transceiver integrated circuit, a microcontroller integrated circuit that self-adjusts its clock pulses, and a memory that stores parameters set for the operation of the modules. The microcontroller integrated circuit and the memory are configured to check parameters corruption upon transferring the parameters from the memory to the microcontroller integrated circuit and prior to utilizing by the microcontroller integrated circuit.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2016Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: TDG AEROSPACE, INC.Inventors: Daniel E. Fish, David L. Evans, Todd B. Skinner, Andrew Wagner, Adrian Alting-Mees

Patent number: 7352550Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for fault detection and interruption in power lines are provided. Circuitry is implemented via software and hardware that is configured to sense an operational aspect of a power line, such as current levels in a three-phase power line, and apply signal processing to the sensed operational aspect to detect faults including different types of faults such as transient and steady state faults and can also be configured to identify the type of fault. Information on the fault and the identification of the type of fault can be displayed, stored, or some other output operation can be implemented. Circuitry can be implemented to provide digital signal processing and analog signal processing to, for example, independently and in parallel (e.g., redundant operation) detect faults and respond to faults as they occur (i.e., in real time).Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2005Date of Patent: April 1, 2008Assignee: TDG Aerospace, Inc.Inventors: John E. Mladenik, David L. Evans, Jose M. Barba, Daniel E. Fish, Gerald Bench, Andrew Wagner
