Abstract: A system is provided that predicts motor wear and failures before they occur. Telemetry data from motors in a motor application is collected and predictive algorithms are used to determine when a motor is aging and when it may fail. Identifying a potential failure in these types of applications can help mitigate risk of other equipment failures and realize cost savings. In one example, a motor aging detection system is provided that includes one or more DC motors, and a motor controller coupled to each motor. The motor controller reads three phase currents from each motor and converts the phase currents to digital values, calculates telemetry data including applied voltages, back electric-motive force, inductance, and resistance of each motor at periodic intervals, stores this telemetry data for each motor in a memory. An age detection circuit retrieves this information from the memory and determines age factors of the motor.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for providing a cabinet security system is disclosed. The system includes a magnetic lock to be mounted on a movable cabinet panel and a catch that is mounted on a cabinet frame and configured to engage the magnetic lock to hold the cabinet panel in a closed position relative to the cabinet frame.

Abstract: A bracket system used for mounting wireless microphone receivers and other accessories to a video camera. This bracket system is comprised of three main parts. The first part comprises a platform with a mounting screw which attaches to the bottom of the video camera; a threaded mounting hole to allow mounting to a tripod; and a combination of a pin and a resilient pad to help secure the video camera from twisting. The second part comprises a vertical section with a system of mounting holes for attaching wireless microphone receivers, camera accessories, adapter boxes, and adapter plates. The third part is a combination of one or more adapter boxes and plates. The adapter box is open on the top and partially open on the bottom, with a system of mounting holes to attach it, and an additional adapter box or adapter plate, to the vertical section. The adapter box has a horizontal tab at the bottom and a spring and spring clip system inside the box to secure a wireless microphone receiver.
