  • Patent number: 11017228
    Abstract: A method for condition monitoring of an installation with operating devices, in which overview data is detected by a first vehicle with an overview sensor arrangement for optical detection of the facility, and the operating devices are identified in the overview data by an evaluation device and the positions of the operating devices are determined taking into account the position of the first vehicle. Detail shots of the operating devices are produced by a detail camera on-board a second or the first vehicle, which is oriented in relation to the respective positions of the operating devices. There is a corresponding arrangement for carrying out the method. A mode of embodiment relates to the condition monitoring of high-voltage masts with high-voltage free lines that are clamped between the masts. Insulators hang on the transverse members as operating devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10540218
    Abstract: A processor system includes an application processor, which has a processor core and hardware performance counters, and a monitoring processor, which is coupled to the application processor by a data transmission interface. The monitoring processor has a look-up table, in which target performance profiles of the progression over time of performance events of the hardware performance counters are stored for an application which is to be executed on the application processor and monitored. The monitoring processor has an evaluating logic which is linked to the look-up table and is configured to record the progression over time of performance events of the hardware performance counters during the execution of the application to be monitored on the application processor and to compare the progression with the target performance profiles stored in the look-up table.
