Abstract: Movement of photovoltaic panels is measured using an array of low-cost devices. Accelerometers are mounted on photovoltaic panels across a site to measure wind speed and direction. Time stamped data from the devices is transmitted to a central computing device which calculates a rolling, lagging wind speed and direction. Measured movement of the photovoltaic panels is used to determine when to place photovoltaic panels in a protective stow mode to reduce damage during a wind event.

Abstract: A device includes a signaling means and a motion sensor, and logic for activating or controlling the signaling means in response to a sensed motion according to an embedded logic. The device may be used as a toy, and may be shaped like a play ball or as a handheld unit. It may be powered from a battery, either chargeable from an AC power source directly or contactless by using induction or by converting electrical energy from harvested kinetic energy. The embedded logic may activate or control the signaling means, predictably or randomly, in response to sensed acceleration magnitude or direction, such as sensing the crossing of a preset threshold or sensing the peak value. The visual means may be a numeric display for displaying a value associated with the count of the number of times the threshold has been exceeded or the peak magnitude of the acceleration sensed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of intelligent devices. The present disclosure provides a method for monitoring motor vibration, a terminal device, and a computer readable storage medium. In the method, vibration data of the motor is acquired in real time when it is detected that a motor is vibrating; the vibration data is converted into image data indicating a vibration sensation; and the image data is displayed. In this way, the strength of motor vibration is visualized, and the distinguishability of tactile perception is improved.

Abstract: Shock indicator device for a watch, internal to the watch, including a structure, to which is fixed an inertia block by means of at least one connecting element made of elastic or ductile or breakable material, which is elastically and plastically deformable when movements are imparted to the inertia block, this inertia block being movable in proximity to a fixed opposing surface comprised in the structure itself or in another element of a watch case, and arranged to come into contact with this opposing surface, to impart a proof indicator of impact or a permanent deformation or damage to the inertia block and/or to the connecting element and/or to the opposing surface, and/or to a breakable element incorporated in the shock indicator device), when the acceleration imparted to this inertia block is higher than a given acceleration threshold.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a device and technique for impact detection includes a housing enclosing a mass member where the housing is configured to enable movement of the mass member from a first position to a second position within the housing in response to receipt by the housing of an acceleration event. The impact indicator also includes switch circuitry and a passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) module coupled to the switch circuitry. Responsive to movement of the mass member from the first position to the second position, the mass member causes a change in the switch circuitry where the change in the switch circuitry causes a change in a value output by the RFID module when activated.

Abstract: A monitoring device of a main spindle rotation speed in a machine tool displays a variation state of the rotation speed by a rotation speed variation unit using a display unit in the machine tool. The monitoring device includes a drawing unit, a variation position display unit, and a reduction effect index display unit. The drawing unit is configured to display a variation diagram that illustrates a relationship between a variation amplitude and a variation cycle of the rotation speed. The reduction effect index display unit is configured to display a reduction effect index on the variation diagram. The reduction effect index represents a reduction effect of chatter vibration. The reduction effect index is calculated based on a speed ratio that is a ratio of a rotation speed of one rotation before to a rotation speed at an identical rotation position of the main spindle at any given timing.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for asset travel monitoring are provided. An example method for asset travel monitoring involves monitoring a motion sensor of an asset tracking device located at an asset to determine whether the asset has entered into a travelling state, upon determination that the asset has entered into the travelling state, monitoring the motion sensor to determine whether the asset has left the travelling state, and, upon determination that the asset has left the travelling state, obtaining a present location of the asset tracking device and transmitting the present location to a remote server.
