  • Patent number: 11085286
    Abstract: A rock breaking device and a method of monitoring a condition of a tool of a rock breaking device is provided. The rock breaking device includes a frame, a tool, a device for generating stress waves in the tool, measuring means for measuring the stress wave propagating in the tool and at least one computing unit for monitoring a condition of the tool on the basis of the measured stress wave. The at least one computing unit is configured to determine a condition of the tool on the basis of a time of propagation of at least one reflected stress wave component of the stress wave and at least one additional property of the same reflected stress wave component.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11002127
    Abstract: A method of monitoring a rock drilling and a rock drilling device includes generating a stress wave, which propagates in a tool of the rock drilling device, measuring the stress wave propagating in the tool and measuring a drilling parameter indicating a drilling penetration rate. The method further includes identifying, from the measured stress wave propagating in the tool, at least one of a compressive stress wave and a tensile stress wave of a reflected stress wave reflected from a rock to be drilled back to the tool, determining at least one property of the at least one of the compressive stress wave and the tensile stress wave of the reflected stress wave, detecting, on the basis of a change in the at least one property of the at least one of the compressive stress wave and the tensile stress wave, that the tool is approaching the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20090216634
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided and includes a processor that is configured to display an advertisement for an advertised widget on a standby screen presented by a display when the apparatus is in a standby state. The processor is configured to receive selection of the presented advertisement and, in response thereto, receive and install the advertised widget in response to receiving the selection. The processor is then configured to display an item of content provided by the installed, advertised widget on the standby screen when the apparatus is in the standby state.
