Abstract: A fastening device may include a hollow void. The hollow void may contain an inner coil proximate to a first end of the device, a sensing portion to sense a characteristic associated with the fastening device during a sensing time window, and a controller. The controller may rectify an alternating current from the inner coil during a charging time window, store energy associated with the rectified alternating current, and use the stored energy to charge the sensing portion during the sensing time window. An outer coil outside the fastening device may be located proximate to a second end of the device as compared to the inner coil. An interface portion outside the fastening device may provide an alternating current to the outer coil during the charging time window, detect the sensed characteristic via the outer coil during the sensing time window, and transmit an indication of the detected characteristic value.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an Internet of Things (“IoT”) associate to facilitate implementation of a digital twin of a twinned physical system. The IoT associate may include a communication port to communicate with at least one component, the at least one component comprising a sensor or an actuator associated with the twinned physical system, and a gateway to exchange information via the IoT. A computer processor and local data storage, coupled to the communication port and gateway, may receive a digital twin model from a data warehouse via the IoT. The computer processor may be programmed to, for at least a selected portion of the twinned physical system, execute the digital twin model in connection with the at least one component and operation of the twinned physical system.
