Abstract: In one aspect, a mobile railway asset monitoring apparatus is provided that includes a sensor configured to produce a signal indicative of a rotation of a wheelset of a mobile railway asset. The apparatus further includes a processor to receive data corresponding to a ground speed of the mobile railway asset. The processor is operably coupled to the sensor, the processor configured to estimate a running dimension of the wheelset based at least in part on the rotation of the wheelset and the ground speed of the mobile railway asset. The processor is configured to determine at least one parameter of the mobile railway asset based at least in part on the running dimension of the wheelset.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to agricultural systems. The systems have stalk sensor assemblies and/or data visualization systems. The stalk sensor assemblies are configured for assessing the size and other characteristics about crops, such as corn and other grains entering an agricultural implement, such as a harvester. The stalk sensor assemblies may use an estimation of the stalk perimeter to establish stalk size and therefore further features about the crop. The visualization system utilizes data from the stalk sensor assemblies to calculate and display relevant information about the crop.

Abstract: An inspection device comprises movable equipment (6) driven relative to a stand (7) and fitted with at least one inspection gauge (14, 15). The device also includes a measurement system (30) comprising a contactless transceiver system (30a) for emitting and receiving a light beam (F) along a path in which there is arranged a target (30b) that is securely mounted to the first inspection gauge, the transceiver system being secured to the stand, and delivering measurements continuously of the position of the first inspection gauge relative to the stand (7). A processor unit (31) is provided that means for detecting when the measurements of the position of the inspection gauge delivered by the transceiver system (30a) cease varying, in order to determine that contact has occurred between the inspection gauge and the container.

Abstract: There are provided a surface shape measuring method and a surface shape measuring device which can measure the diameter of a workpiece to be measured with high precision and high reproducibility and have excellent versatility. These method include: acquiring first shape data indicating a surface shape of the workpiece with a detector being disposed on one side across a workpiece while rotating the workpiece relatively to the detector around a rotational center; acquiring second shape data indicating the surface shape of the workpiece with the detector being disposed on the other side across the workpiece while rotating the workpiece relatively to the detector around the rotational center; and calculating a shape parameter defining the surface shape of the workpiece by collating the first shape data and second shape data. In calculating the shape parameter, a deviation of the detector from the reference line is calculated based on the collation result.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are disclosed for determining the diameter of sheet material wound on a reel, and for setting the tension on sheet material as it is wound on the reel. According to one embodiment, the diameter of a take-up reel including sheet material wound thereon is determined from the angle of rotation or instantaneous angular speed of the take-up reel, and movement of the sheet material as obtained from rotation of a circular element such as a drive roller in a pinch roller drive system which rotates in proportional to sheet material movement. In another embodiment, the diameter of a reel in a reel-to-reel transport system is determined from the angles of rotation or instantaneous angular speeds of the supply and take-up reels, the total amount of sheet material in the system, and the packing factor of the sheet material rewound on the take-up reel. The diameter determination may then be used to set the torque of the drive motor for the take-up reel, and thereby the tension on the sheet material during winding.

Abstract: The measuring head intended for measuring diameters of cylindrical parts, e.g. parts being ground to diameter, comprises two measuring projections which are easily adjustable when a change is made from one diameter to another diameter, while maintaining excellent precision whatever the diameter concerned and the distance which separates the measuring head from the part to be machined. For this purpose, each of the measuring projections is a crank comprising a pivoted arm and a cylindrical rod projecting from the arm and forming a measuring contact element. The cranks are secured to an upper block and a lower block, respectively. A pick-up measures the distance existing between the blocks. The cranks are implemented in such manner that the axes of the rods always remain parallel to each other whatever the angle of rotation or adjustment of each of the arms. To facilitate adaptation of the cranks to the different nominal diameters which may arise, a conical joint is provided for the cranks at the location of the pivotal axes of the arms.
