  • Publication number: 20240025706
    Abstract: A first sensor node is fixed to a tool on a derrick truck, and a second sensor node fixed to the derrick truck at a location that does not move when either of the boom and the tool move. The first sensor node measures a position of the tool and a distance between the tool and the first sensor the second sensor node. The measured position of the tool and the distance between the first and second sensor node is reported to a load moment computer.

  • Publication number: 20230227300
    Abstract: A machine stability detection and indication for a load moving machine. The machine has a chassis, a boom mount carried by said chassis, a boom assembly pivotally affixed to said boom mount, and a load carrying structure affixed to an end of said boom mount. The machine may be configured in a desired load handling geometry by manipulating components including a boom assembly, a pivot arm connected to said boom assembly, and forks. A control system for facilitating a selected configuration of said load handling geometry. Position sensors generate position data of the components. Pressure cylinders move the components and pressure sensors operatively located on one or more said pressure cylinders generate pressure data. A computer processes the position data and the pressure data for determining a load moment and for calculating a weight of a load being lifted by utilizing said pressure data and said position data.

  • Publication number: 20230221200
    Abstract: A system for measuring a load lifted by a lifting machine includes a winch with a rope wound onto a drum, the drum being rotatable to wind and unwind the rope affixed to the load to lift and lower the load, end supports affixing the drum to the lifting machine, and at least one strain gauge affixed to the end supports and measuring a strain applied to the end supports by the load on the rope.

  • Patent number: 7694339
    Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, or computer program product is presented for morphing a honeypot system on a dynamic and configurable basis. The morphing honeypot emulates a variety of services while falsely presenting information about potential vulnerabilities within the system that supports the honeypot. The morphing honeypot has the ability to dynamically change its personality or displayed characteristics using a variety of algorithms and a database of known operating system and service vulnerabilities. The morphing honeypot's personality can be changed on a timed or scheduled basis, on the basis of activity that is generated by the presented honeypot personality, or on some other basis. The morphing honeypot can also be integrated with intrusion detection systems and other types of computer security incident recognition systems to correlate its personality with detected nefarious activities.
