Abstract: An apparatus is provided for processing a plurality of brake wear signals from a corresponding plurality of brake wear sensors of a vehicle brake system. The apparatus comprises an interfacing device arranged to receive the plurality of brake wear signals corresponding to the plurality of brake wear sensors of the vehicle brake system. The apparatus also comprises a controller arranged to control the interfacing device to provide a location signal indicative of which one of the plurality of brake wear sensors is providing a brake wear signal indicative of a worn brake.

Abstract: An embodiment includes storage containing configuration and operational data related to a managed network, an action configurator application, and an action execution application. The embodiment also includes one or more processors configured to: receive, by way of the action configurator application, a specification of an action type; receive, by way of the action configurator application, a specification of an input source for actions generated using the action type; receive, by way of the action configurator application, a specification of one or more target users and an output modality for the actions; receive, by way of the action configurator application, a specification of a condition that causes the actions to be generated; determine, that the condition has been satisfied; and cause the action execution application to execute the action generator on the input source, and produce an output for one of the target users by way of the output modality.

Abstract: An induction motor includes a motor shaft, a rotor, and a rotor conductor bar. In some embodiments described herein, the rotor has a first axial side and a second axial side, and is non-rotatably secured to the motor shaft. The rotor includes a rotor core having an interior surface defining a slot extending from the first axial side to the second axial side. The rotor conductor bar is disposed in the slot. The rotor conductor bar and the slot cooperate to define a channel configured to transfer a fluid through the rotor core from the first axial side to the second axial side while directly contacting the rotor conductor bar.
