  • System and method for the video inspection of a pantograph along an overhead contact line
    Patent number: 10416090
    Abstract: Method for the video inspection of a pantograph (100) along an overhead contact line, including the steps of: detecting passage of the pantograph (100) in a plurality of monitoring stations (2); in each monitoring station (2), in response to the detection of the passage of the pantograph (100), illuminating a first overhead zone in which a portion of the pantograph (100) passes; in each monitoring station (2), during the step of illuminating the first overhead zone, acquiring images of the first overhead zone by way of at least one pair of stereo video cameras (5a, 5b); calculating the disparity between the images acquired; reconstructing a three-dimensional model of the portion of the pantograph (100).

  • Measurement system of the relative position between two separate structural parts
    Patent number: 9562791
    Abstract: A measurement system (1) of the relative position between two structural parts (2a, 2b) of a building, that have separated for example following the formation of a crack, comprising a cylindrical permanent magnet (3) adapted to generate a magnetic field (B) and a sensor (5), the sensor (5) being fixed and the magnet (3) being moveable according to a direction perpendicular to its axis of symmetry (h) so as to vary the direction of the lines of force of the magnetic field B which cross the sensor 5.
