  • Patent number: 10286514
    Abstract: A spindle condition detection device for a machine tool includes: bearing load detecting means for detecting a load on a bearing that rotatably supports a spindle of a machine tool; and present usage ratio calculating means for calculating, based on the load detected by the bearing load detecting means, a present usage ratio that is a ratio of usage of the bearing with respect to a prescribed operating life of the bearing, which is achieved over a period until a present moment.

  • Patent number: 10289519
    Abstract: A rack management system and a rack management method thereof are disclosed; wherein the storage management system is used for managing a plurality of chassis. The storage management system includes a rack, a resistor cable, a power supply module, a detection module, and a processing module. The rack has a plurality of storage portions for disposing the plurality of chassis respectively. The resistor cable is disposed in the rack for corresponding to each storage space. The power supply module is used for supplying a power signal to the resistor cable. When the plurality of chassis is disposed in the plurality of storage portions, the detection module detects the resistor cable to generate a plurality of detection signals. The processing module records locations of the plurality of chassis based on the plurality of detection signals.

  • Patent number: 10291333
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus to detect the presence of interferers in a wideband digital VSWR measurement signal. Interferers cause power differences over different intervals of time and frequency, and may be detected by comparing the measured signals in both time and frequency domains with the original signal. Frequency components in the measured signals may be discarded if the interference is deemed too large. The remaining frequency components can then be used to compute the VSWR.

  • Patent number: 10214410
    Abstract: Fluid level measurements for the shared tank and outflow information provided by calibrated flow meters corresponding to dispensing stations connected to the shared tank may be used to derive a filled volume model for the tank as a function of fluid level. Subsequently, a filled volume change for a shared tank over a selected time interval may be determined from pre-change and post-change fluid level measurements. The change in filled volume may be compared with the total fluid flow over the selected time interval as indicated by the flow meters of active dispensing stations. If the filled volume change for the tank is substantially different than the total fluid flow indicated by the flow meters, the flow meters may be collectively adjusted to provide a more accurate indication of the filled volume change in the shared tank.

  • Patent number: 10119842
    Abstract: A shaft may be rotated, where the shaft includes an encoder with a first, second, and third logical track, where the first and second logical tracks include bit patterns that are readable to be 90 degrees out of phase with one another, and where the third logical track includes a sequence of n numbers, each number being represented by m bits, where n is greater than 1. While moving the shaft, a number of the sequence from the third logical track and an extent of bits from the first or second logical track may be read. An orientation of the shaft may then be determined based on the number and the extent of bits. The orientation may be a linear position of a linear encoder or an angular position of a rotary encoder.
