Abstract: A handheld or mountable air measuring device includes a sensor assembly with sensors that measure airspeed simultaneously in two directions that are perpendicular to each other. The device includes a data protocol conversion board allowing the communication between the sensor assembly and a smart device included with or associated with the device. The smart device receives the airspeed data. The smart device includes a user interface that includes a map or layout of the environment within which the device is used. The data is displayed on the smart device on the map. The data can be processed locally or transmitted to a remote location for processing. One or more dashboards are generated from the data and accessible by the smart device or another computing device.

Abstract: A tire carrier assembly is operative to provide a controlled payout of cable in response to an application of a minimum predetermined amount of force upon the tire carrier assembly. The tire carrier assembly includes a housing having a bottom wall and a side wall extending outwardly from the bottom wall defining an interior space. A rotation shaft is coupled to the housing and having a longitudinal axis. A sheave is coupled to the shaft and rotatable about the longitudinal axis. A gear member extends from the sheave and is rotatable therewith about the longitudinal axis. A pin fixedly secured to the housing. A torque plate has a gear portion epicyclically engaged with the gear member of the sheave. The torque plate has an arm portion extending generally radially outwardly with respect to the gear portion. The torque plate has a closed-ended slot formed in the arm portion and receiving the pin therethrough. The arm portion has legs extending along opposite sides of the slot.
