  • Publication number: 20200256435
    Abstract: Disclosed is a movement transfer mechanism, a drive assembly and a system for transferring reciprocating linear movements into a rotary movement of a shaft. The transfer mechanism comprising a connecting member, first and second engaging means fixedly connected to the connecting member and first and second drive units, each comprising ball bearings with respective inner rings and outer rings, wherein the outer rings are fixedly attached to gear wheels. Each gear wheel is engaged with the respective engaging means. The invention is characterized by that the respective inner ring of the respective ball bearing is arranged to be fixedly connected to a first shaft, and further that the first drive unit and the second drive unit are arranged with a backstop and by that the respective outer ring is locked relative to the respective inner ring in a first rotational direction and unlocked in a second rotational direction which is an opposite direction relative to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 9986311
    Abstract: A method for automatically pairing one or more operators with one or more pieces of equipment where each of the one or more operators carries an identification unit having an identification code stored therein, and where each piece of equipment includes an equipment data sensor configured to wirelessly receive the identification code in any identification units within a particular range may include receiving a plurality of different identification codes in data received from a particular equipment data sensor where for each of the different identification codes the data comprises signal information about strength or frequency of the one or more wireless signals through which each identification code was received by the particular equipment data sensor, and determining an operator of the equipment associated with the particular equipment data sensor based at least in part on a comparison of the signal information associated with each identification code.

  • Patent number: 8040226
    Abstract: A vehicle surveillance system has a plurality of side-light units mounted on opposite sides of a truck, bus, train or a similar long vehicle. The side-light units form an RF communication network on the vehicle. Each side-light unit comprises a day-running light source, a sensor for defining a surveillance zone on the side of said vehicle, said the sensor being arranged to detect an object or a movement of an object within the surveillance zone, and an RF transmitter which is controlled by said sensor and arranged to transmit an RF detection signal from said side-light unit. Existing day-running side-light units of a vehicle may be replaced with the inventive vehicle day-running side-light units.
