摘要： The present invention generally provides apparatus and methods of operating a pumping system. The pump control apparatus includes a first sensor for measuring strain on a structure of the well pumping system and a second sensor for measuring a position of the structure. The apparatus also has a controller configured to control the well unit by receiving output signals from the first and second sensors and generating control signals according to a motor control sequence. This controller may be mounted to the structure of the pumping system to measure the strain experienced by the structure. The control signals may be transmitted to a motor control panel using a cable-less communications system. Preferably, the first sensor, the second sensor, and the controller are integrated into a single unit. In another embodiment, the pump control apparatus may be self-powered.

摘要： A method and apparatus for determining the weight of each axle of a plurality of rail cars of a railroad train passing over a selected section of a railroad track. The apparatus embodies a measuring device that, when mounted to the selected section of the railroad track, measures strain induced in a portion of the track as the rail car passes over that portion of the track to produce an electrical output which is precisely proportional to the load imposed on the portion of the track as each axle of the rail car passes over the portion of the track. The measuring device of the interfaces with a remotely located data processing subassembly that receives the output from the strain gauges and precisely determines the axle weight therefrom.

摘要： A clamp-on structural strain-gage sensor that is mounted to dynamic load-bearing structures, such as sucker-rod type oil well pumps, to produce an electrical output proportional to the deflection of such structures. The apparatus uniquely includes an active electronic temperature correcting circuit to provide compensation for the erratic effects caused by uneven thermal heating of the load-bearing structure.

摘要： Improvements in a bed pre exit patient monitor to determine when a patient has moved to an edge of a bed prior to the patient leaving the bed by measuring load on a single wheel by slightly lifting the wheel with load sensing rods that measure the wheel load. A variety of different alarm signals are used signal to warn a care giver. The device is self-contained, self-secures and removes itself from a variety of different diameter wheels. The device can auto calibration when the wheel is initially lifted and also calibrate when a patient is resting on a bed. The monitoring establishes a threshold load without a patient and with a patient to allow the software to determine when the on an edge of a bed and also when a patient has completely left the bed. Software filtering rejects patient movement to prevent false alarms.

摘要： A method and apparatus for continuously monitoring fluid level in an oil well, by measuring changes in the weight of the oil well tubing which result from changes in the buoyancy of the tubing caused by the rise and fall of fluid level within the oil well. In the apparatus of the invention, a transducer is either affixed to the downhole tubing of the oil well, or alternatively, is affixed to the drive head support structure of a well having a progressive cavity well pump. The transducer continuously senses changes in the weight of the tubing as the buoyancy of the tubing changes in proportion to the rise and fall of fluid level within the well. The transducer is preferably connected to a control unit which, in turn, is connected to the pump motor and which functions to automatically control the pump motor as a function of fluid level within the well.
