  • Patent number: 11962845
    Abstract: Methods and systems can identify and request video data and information associated with an event. An event location and time associated with the event can be determined. The event can comprise damage to property or injury to a person. A geographic range of interest associated with the event location and a time duration of interest associated with the event time can be determined. One or more users who are determined to have been at or near the event location at the event time can be automatically identified. A request for at least one of information or video data from the geographic range and time duration of interest can be transmitted to the one or more identified users.

  • Publication number: 20230279647
    Abstract: A vibration monitoring system for a mining machine, the mining machine including a plurality of movable components and one or more motor operatively coupled to the plurality of movable components. The system including a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of sensors positioned at one of a plurality of measurement points on at least one of the movable component of the industrial machine, and an electronic processor coupled to the plurality of sensors and configured to receive a signal including a parameter related to a motion of the at least one moveable component, identify a steady state of the industrial machine based, at least in part, on the parameter meeting a predetermined criteria, receive, from the plurality of sensors, a plurality of vibration data sets, and select a vibration data subset from the plurality of vibration data sets corresponding to the steady state of the industrial machine.

  • Patent number: 11680388
    Abstract: A system and method for collecting operational vibration data for a mining machine. The method includes, receiving at least one motion command. The method further includes, controlling at least one component based on the at least one motion command. The method further includes determining, by an electronic processor, at least one predicate parameter. The method further includes determining, by the electronic processor, whether the predicate parameter is true. The method further includes, while the at least one component is being controlled based on the motion command and the at least one predicate parameter is true, receiving, from a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of sensors positioned at one of a plurality of measurement points on the at least one component of the mining machine, a plurality of vibration data sets.

  • Patent number: 7119891
    Abstract: The optical properties of water impounded in reservoirs such as large tanks with closed covers and in uncovered reservoirs are monitored to detect harmful substances. The system and method comprises illuminating the water with an artificial light source within the enclosure for monitoring of the reservoir. Radiance and irradiance fluxes are measured by one or more multiband radiometers. Changes in radiance and irradiance are used to calculate spectral attenuation coefficients of the water. Fluorescence spectra are measured. A computer look-up table of known absorption and emission spectra is compared to the spectral attenuation to determine if a substance has been detected.

  • Patent number: 5905570
    Abstract: An improved water quality monitoring system and method. The system utilizes reflectance radiometers to provide multiple wavelength measurement of downwelling irradiance and/or upwelling radiance. The method calculates attenuation coefficients from the downwelling irradiance or upwelling radiance to derive chlorophyll concentration in the water.
