  • Publication number: 20240386753
    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems and techniques for monitoring linkage joints of machines, such as earth-moving machines, using on-board sensors of the machines to identify linkage joints at risk of galling. The systems and techniques involve gathering sensor data and determining a galling risk score for each linkage joint. The galling risk score may then be used to alert an operator and/or maintenance system to determine when to take remedial action and/or perform maintenance while also avoiding costly downtime from galling failures.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for reconstructing 3-D point cloud. A light source generates light that is received by a polarization field generator, which generates a polarization field that illuminates the target object being imaged such that each outgoing ray has a unique polarization state. A camera captures images of the illuminated target object and the captured images are received by a processor that: (1) performs a polarization field decoding algorithm that decodes the polarization field to obtain a set of incident rays; (2) performs a camera ray decoding algorithm to obtain a set of camera rays; (3) performs a ray-ray intersection algorithm that determines intersection points where the incident rays and the camera rays intersect; and (4) performs a 3-D reconstruction algorithm that uses the set of incident rays, the set of camera rays and the intersection points to reconstruct a 3-D point cloud of the target object.

    Abstract: Operating a battery charger having an AC side stacked half bridge configuration coupled to a primary winding of a transformer and a DC side stacked half bridge configuration coupled to a secondary winding of the transformer to provide heating can include either operating the AC side stacked half bridges to provide a current path through the primary winding that does not include an AC source or operating the DC side stacked half bridges to provide a current path through the secondary winding that does not include a battery. In the former case, operation can include operating the DC side stacked half bridges to alternate between switching states that selectively couple a battery to the secondary winding of the transformer. In the latter case, operation can include operating the AC side stacked half bridges to alternate between switching states that selectively couple the AC source to the primary winding.
