Abstract: The present invention is a performance analysis apparatus for fluid distribution equipment that operates independently of the control system of the fluid distribution equipment to automatically determine when equipment is not functioning correctly. It comprises an analyzer computer, one or more sensor sets, and a computer program. The sensor sets are connected to the analyzer computer and comprise sensors for measuring physical properties of fluid distribution equipment.

Abstract: The present invention is an elevator inspection apparatus. It comprises a sensor package, a commercially available off-the-shelf computing device, a computer program, and a communication mechanism between the sensor package and the computing device. The sensor package is physically separate from the computing device, comprising a sensor for measuring the acceleration of the elevator car, a door position sensor for determining the position of the elevator door, a sensor for measuring the altitude of the elevator car, and an interface to an external communication mechanism for communicating with the computing device. The computing device includes an interface to an external communication mechanism for communicating with and providing power to the sensor package. The computer program controls the apparatus, analyzes the signals from the sensor package, displays the results of the analysis, and creates reports of the elevator performance.

Abstract: The present invention is an elevator performance analysis device and process. It comprises a sensor package, a computing device, a computer program, and a communication mechanism between the sensor package and the computing device. The sensor package is physically separate from the computing device comprising a sensor for measuring the acceleration of the elevator car, an integral door position sensor for determining the position of the elevator door, a sensor for measuring the altitude of the elevator car, and an interface to an external communication mechanism for communicating with the computing device. The computing device comprises a processor for running computer programs, memory, electronic storage for programs, data, and analysis results, a display, and a communication mechanism for communicating with the sensor package. The computer program controls the system, analyzes the signals from the sensor package, displays the results of the analysis, and creates reports of the elevator performance.
