Abstract: A test bench to evaluate the operation of a brake or shock absorber for bucket doors of excavators or electric shovels that allows simulating real operating conditions of the bucket doors, which includes a brake support that allows installing and fixing the brake to be evaluated, said brake comprising, a body with an axis that is connected to the end of an arm in a pivotal manner and its other end is used for connection with the bucket door; a pendulum to simulate the loads received by the brake due to the opening and/or closing movement of the bucket door, comprising a pendulum arm comprising an upper end with a lateral edge comprising at least one opening to be fixedly connected to the free end of the brake arm, an inner side pivotally connected to a pendulum support, arranged in front of the brake support, allowing rotational movement of the pendulum, and an outer side comprising a plurality of openings defining a predefined inclination; and a lower end comprising a known mass; a locking device on one side

Abstract: A set of monitoring and prevention of wear of bushings and pins in connections in buckets of electric shovels is disclosed that has the objective of monitoring the condition of bushings to inform the moment of replacement of the component, in addition, to reduce wear by which is subjected to extend its useful life. The assembly comprises devices for locking pins in the bucket connections of electric excavator shovels, such as handles (bail) or padlocks (padlock), restricting the movement of the pins that interact with the bushings during the operation of the electric shovel bucket, preventing that rotate on their own axis so that rotational friction does not occur between said pin and the bushing, reducing wear.

Abstract: Modeling process and structural repair of a railway or metal car to assemble a hopper with a self-supporting body different from the original hopper that is formed from steel plates on the structure of the car.

Abstract: A snubber for an excavator bucket door that permanently controls deformation due to the effect of working pressures during operation, improving braking performance.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate generally to excavating equipment and, more particularly, to a damping element for excavator shovel buckets that improves the protection of its components.

Abstract: Modified bucket that combines elements of buckets from different models of excavator shovels.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a wind turbine (10) is disclosed. The method comprises: collecting data that is associated with an abnormal behaviour of the wind turbine; comparing the collected data with anonymized data from other wind turbines; matching a fault condition with the abnormal behaviour through the comparison; and outputting the fault condition to the wind turbine.

Abstract: A method (300) for the control of a wind farm (10) is disclosed. The method (300) comprises: read-in of data from at least one first wind power plant (200) of the wind farm; supply of the read-in data from the at least one first wind power plant to a statistical prediction model for the control of at least one second wind power plant (200) of the wind farm based on the read-in data from the at least one first wind power plant; and use of the statistical prediction model to control the at least one second wind power plant (200).

Abstract: A method for controlling a wind power plant is described. The method comprises measuring a sound emission by means of at least one pressure sensor secured to the rotor blade; detecting a characteristic aeroacoustic sound for at least one stall based on the sound emission; and controlling or regulating one or several components of the wind power plant based on the detection of the characteristic aeroacoustic sound of the stall.

Abstract: A tubular camera module is disclosed. An example tubular camera module includes a tube-shaped object including a camera seat portion, the tube-shaped object being positioned along a top of a first store shelf that is adjacent to a second store shelf, the first and second store shelves being separated by an aisle and a camera module connected to the tube-shaped object at the camera seat portion. The camera module includes a camera housing having edges that align with edges of the camera seat portion, a camera having a lens that is positioned to image at least a portion of the second store shelf, and a transmitter configured to transmit images of the portion of the second store shelf to a communicatively coupled server.

Abstract: A monitoring system that makes use of an automated data collection system such as, for example, closed-circuit television, and inputs from a human operator. The monitoring system also allows for remote monitoring of a plurality of remote locations and for an operator to monitor several operations simultaneously. Also, a method for operating such a monitoring system.

Abstract: A surveillance system includes a track system having a first track and a second track that allow for the translation of a camera carriage having a camera. The track system may be combined to lengthen or shorten the expanse of the surveillance system. A pulley system translates the camera carriage across the surveillance system.
