  • Publication number: 20240307935
    Abstract: An assembly, system and method for compensating a crane position offset error based on wheel float by viewing, with an optical sensor located on a trolley on the crane, a target or target shape adjacent a storage rack containing a vertically stored mill roll and determining a positional compensation signal based on a separation or offset of a center of a field of view of the sensor from a center of the target shape. The assembly, system or method compensates for the crane position offset error by moving the crane, as instructed by the positional compensation signal, a distance equal to the separation or offset of the center of the field of view of the sensor from the center of the target.

  • Publication number: 20240229455
    Abstract: A concrete wall frame assembly and a method of manufacturing same is disclosed. The assembly includes two generally parallel metal plates and at least one rod extending between a first end and a second end. A first end of the rod is passed through a hole in the second plate toward the first plate until the first end engages a continuous inner surface of the first plate. The second end of the rod protrudes through the hole and extends past an outer surface of the second plate. A stud welder is connected to the either the second, protruding end of the rod, or connected to the rod between the two metal plates to stud weld the first rod end to the inner surface of the first plate. The second end of the rod is then arc welded to the second metal plate at the outer surface.

  • Patent number: 11682094
    Abstract: Systems and methods to process many power line-down reports. A number of power line-down reports are received from different devices operated by users that specify the location of its device. Based on locations of devices sending the reports, a related set of power line-down reports is determined that likely report a particular power line-down condition. Based on those locations and power line location information, a location of the particular power line-down condition is determined that is a location of a power line that is closest to all locations in the related reports. Based on the related set of reports, a consolidated power line-down report is created with data associated with the particular power line-down condition. The consolidated power line-down report is reported to a power grid trouble report system.
