Abstract: An integrated wireless data system and method for controlling and measuring operational data of a pumpjack system, for safety, health monitoring, and pump control is provided. The integrated wireless data system and method may be configured to allow for bi-directional communication with a central station to enable human intervention with pumpjack and to store pump parameters in a database for use in development of predictive maintenance techniques.
Abstract: An integrated wireless data system and method for avionic performance indication for measuring, monitoring and displaying in-use, real-world engine-out characteristics on a propeller driven aircraft for the purposes of health monitoring, performance optimization, and regulatory compliance is provided. Engine-out characteristics may be measured either at the propeller extension hub mounted between the engine and propeller, on the crankshaft flange, or on the propeller itself, and include, but are not limited to, the engine output torque, thrust, vibration, bending loads and temperature. Data may be transmitted wirelessly to a base unit located inside the cockpit and user selected parameters are updated on a display in real-time. The system may also store all collected data, for later download and analysis. The system may also have a software interface that can be used to download, view and analyze all recorded data, as well as to configure the system settings and alerts.
Abstract: An integrated wireless data system including a wireless load cell assembly and method for measuring operational data of one or more components for safety, health monitoring, and control is provided. The wireless load cell assembly can include an energy storage device and may be configured to allow for bi-directional communication with a base unit to store operational parameters in a database for use in development of predictive maintenance techniques. The axial load cell can rotate freely for simple installation without regard to rotational orientation. A power management strategy and energy harvesting system are provided to ensure long term use of the wireless load cell assembly without the need to replace the energy storage device.
