  • Publication number: 20170329034
    Abstract: The present invention provides an airborne electromagnetic receiver having a large dimension to allow low transmitter base frequency. A modular and configurable suspension assembly is provided for use within a receiver support structure and suspending the support structure. The suspension assembly has a rigid support having a suspension portion, and links connecting the suspension portion and the suspended structure. The links are adjustable in length and tension to radially suspend said equipment support structure. The natural frequency of the suspension assembly and the suspended receiver motion can be optimized by adjusting mass distribution, suspension link length and suspension link tension. The suspension assembly can be used to suspend a receiver having large receiver coils. The suspension assembly converts high frequency vibration forces imparted on the receiver to a low frequency oscillation. The suspension assembly may also be tuned to avoid coincidence with the excitation frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20170276821
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transmitter for an electromagnetic survey system for transmitting signals having a waveform comprising at least a first pulse and a second pulse, wherein the first and second pulses are different in at least one of shape and power. Embodiments of the invention enable combining various distinct pulses that may have been optimized for respective applications to form a transmitter waveform for conducting a geological survey. In effect, the embodiments of the present invention provides an EM system that is substantially equivalent to multiple EM systems operating at the same time for collecting data in relation to different aspects of the geology of interest. Advantageously, the benefits of the present invention can be obtained without the undesirable complexity and cost associated with the simultaneous deployment of multiple EM systems.

  • Publication number: 20170221011
    Abstract: This disclosure provides for a system and method for managing network-connected industrial assets. A user may request monitored data for one or more of the network-connected industrial assets using a client device that is communicatively coupled to an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) machine. The IIoT machine monitors and records data for various metrics for one or more industrial assets communicatively coupled to the IIoT machine. Using the client device, the user defines a timeframe that the IIoT machine has recorded data for one or more of the more industrial assets. In response to a calendar event broadcast by a calendar web component of the client device, other web components communicate with the IIoT machine to receive and display the recorded data.

  • Patent number: 9575575
    Abstract: A system and method may include a device including a user interface, a detector, and a central processing unit (CPU) in communication with the detector. The CPU controls operation of the device. A stylus is used to input data with respect to the device. The stylus may include a main body and an engagement member operatively coupled to the main body. The engagement member alters a mechanical relationship within the main body in response to engagement by a user. The stylus generates a signal in response to the altered mechanical relationship within the main body. The detector detects the signal generated by the stylus. The CPU performs an action in response to detection of the signal.

  • Patent number: 9515705
    Abstract: A near field communications (NFC) device is disclosed that detects an envelope of a radio frequency (RF) signal. The NFC device includes a peak detector that determines the envelope of the RF signal. The peak detector compares a first differential signal voltage to a second differential signal voltage. The peak detector delays a rising edge of a first differential signal and provides the first differential signal voltage to the peak detector output when the first differential signal voltage is greater than the second differential signal voltage. The peak detector delays a falling edge of a second differential signal and provides the second differential signal voltage to the peak detector output when the second differential signal voltage is greater than the first differential signal voltage.
