  • Patent number: 10962444
    Abstract: A belt drive monitoring system comprising a driver, a driven, the driver and driven connected by an endless member, a first magnetic member having a magnetic field attached to the driver, a second magnetic member having a magnetic field attached to the driven, a first sensor disposed to detect a changing magnetic field caused by passage of the first magnetic member, a second sensor disposed to detect a changing magnetic field caused by passage of the second magnetic member, a first transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit to a receiver a first data signal from the first sensor and a second transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit to the receiver a second data signal from the second sensor, and the receiver configured to manipulate the data signal whereby a system parameter is calculated and provided to a user.

  • Patent number: 10445992
    Abstract: A system for detecting a vehicle traveling a designated direction of travel on a roadway includes a sign having a front surface and a back surface. The sign may include a sign boundary marker that is different in color than a color of the front surface. One or more light panels such as an LED light panel is affixed to the sign such as to its front surface. The light emitting elements may lie below a top plane of the light panel. A color of a top surface of the light panel matches a color on the front surface of the sign over which the light panel is placed. A vehicle motion detector or proximity detector is oriented in a direction and has a detection zone for detecting moving vehicles in proximity to the sign. The detector illuminates the lights of the light panel after detecting a moving vehicle in proximity to the sign.
