  • Publication number: 20240019833
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for determining target data for artificial intelligence is disclosed. In one aspect, the method may include identifying an indication of a target state of a first industrial process or asset, and/or of a second industrial process or asset operatively associated with the first industrial process or asset, and determining target data, based on the identified indication of the target state. The identification of the indication of the target state may be based on first monitoring data indicative of data output from first monitoring data source(s) associated with the first industrial process or asset or with the second industrial process or asset. The target data may be determined from second monitoring data indicative of data output from second monitoring data source(s) associated with the first industrial process or asset.

  • Publication number: 20060070270
    Abstract: A connector for connecting an implement to a digger or other prime mover is mountable on the digger and has a recess for receiving a connecting pin mounted on the implement. The connecting pin is retained in the recess by a retaining pin that is mounted on the connector. The retaining pin has a head that is seated on a face of the recess and a cylindrical tail portion that is received in a passage formed in the connector to secure the retaining pin on the connector with the head projecting into the recess adjacent the connecting pin. There is clearance between the head and the connecting pin and the head is shaped so that the clearance is reduced to a minimum when the retaining pin is rotated in the passage. The connector advantageously comprises spaced apart side walls joined together by across member in the form of a bent plate.

  • Patent number: 5827951
    Abstract: A new test method to quantify capillary flow solderability on a printed wiring board surface finish. The test is based on solder flow from a pad onto narrow strips or lines. A test procedure and video image analysis technique were developed for conducting the test and evaluating the data. Feasibility tests revealed that the wetted distance was sensitive to the ratio of pad radius to line width (l/r), solder volume, and flux predry time.

  • Patent number: 4911417
    Abstract: A bush is disclosed particularly for flexibly mounting an axle assembly on the chassis of a vehicle. An elastic bush is inserted in a sleeve mounted on the axle assembly. The elastic bush as a tapered bore. A pin with a tapered outer face is inserted in the tapered bore and expands the elastic bush into frictional engagement with the sleeve. The sleeve and elastic bush are located between mounting plates mounted on the chassis. The pin is fixed to at least one of the mounting plates by means of a bolt which passes through a hole in the mounting plate so that any movement between the axle assembly and the chassis is taken up by flexure of the elastic bush. The axis of the bolt is offset from the axis of the tapered face of the pin so that the pin can be brought into alignment with the hole in the mounting plate by rotating the pin in the bore of the elastic bush.
