Abstract: A system and method are provided for detecting the presence of animate users, such as people, within a monitored environment, based on audio events. A transducer captures sound signals generated within the monitored environment, which a capture channel converts to form a digital stream. A feature extractor detects predetermined signal features of the digital stream over predetermined extraction periods, and an event classifier uses values of these features to generate a series of detection events reflective of likely sources of sounds in the captured sound signals. Then, an event buffer maintains an aggregate count of detection events generated by the event classifier, and a status generator generates the user presence indicator according to the aggregate count of detection events. A response system triggers one of more functions responsive to one or user presence indicators, thereby responding to the presence or absence of the animate users.

Abstract: A non-destructive testing device for detecting damage to a steel wire rope, including a bushing which limits a lower shell and an upper shell through a limiting groove. The lower shell is connected to the upper shell via an opening and closing structure. An air bag is wrapped around the bushing. A PCB is fixed on the upper shell or the lower shell.

A magnetoresistive sensor array is arranged inside the air bag and is uniformly arranged in a circumferential direction of the bushing. A steel wire rope passes through the magnetoresistive sensor array. And when the steel wire rope moves, it drives the guide wheel to rotate and triggers the acquisition of a command. Guide wheel is set with a position coder which is used to calculate a relative position of movement of the steel wire rope. The PCB is connected to a single chip microcomputer via a peripheral interface.
