    Abstract: A method for determining a tightening class of a tightening operation performed by a tightening tool is provided. The method comprises acquiring time-domain representations of sets of observed torque and angle values for fasteners having been tightened by the tightening tool, acquiring frequency-domain representations of the observed sets of torque values, associating a tightening class with each acquired time-domain and frequency-domain representation identifying a tightening operation, training a machine-learning model with the acquired time-domain representations and frequency-domain representations and the tightening class and supplying the trained machine-learning model with a further acquired time-domain representation frequency-domain representation for a fastener having been tightened by the tightening tool, wherein the trained machine-learning model outputs an estimated tightening class for the supplied set of observed torque and angle values.

    Abstract: A threaded fastener capable of torque detection includes: a head and a shank connected together, wherein the shank has a threaded peripheral surface; a neck formed at the junction between one end of the shank and the head; and at least one sensing element and a sealing element, both provided on the neck, wherein the sensing element is configured to detect deformation of the neck, and the sealing element seals the sensing element. The threaded fastener may further include a covering element that covers the sealing element. The threaded fastener can be deformed consistently, allowing the sensing element to obtain relatively accurate detection values.

    Abstract: Improved techniques for remotely monitoring and managing fasteners and fastener driver conditions, are provided. In some aspects of the invention, conditions of a fastener and/or structural material(s) held by the fastener and/or connector, are monitored by a control system including sensor(s) at least partially embedded in, on or throughout the fastener and/or structural material(s). When an adverse condition is sensed, a torque may be remotely applied to the fastener, in some embodiments. In some embodiments, other remedial actions may be taken by the control system. In some embodiments, such sensor(s) include a magnetizable array, which may include one or more charge-carrying and/or otherwise magnetic wires or particles on, about, or embedded within, the fastener and/or structural material. In some embodiments, such remote monitoring includes testing a magnetic signature of the fastener and/or structural material (e.g., via remote scanning and/or testing).

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a tension monitoring apparatus. The apparatus comprises a fixing with a shank which in use is under tension, a strain sensor embedded in the shank of the fixing and configured to generate a strain sensor signal corresponding to tension in the shank. The apparatus further comprises a data processing means configured to receive the strain sensor signal, process the strain sensor signal in accordance with one or more characterising parameters associated with the strain sensor and thereby generate corresponding strain sensor data indicative of a strain to which the shank is subject. Additionally, the apparatus comprises a wireless transmitter for communicating the strain sensor data to a remote receiver, wherein the data processing means and the wireless transmitter are mounted in a module fixed to an end of the fixing.
