Sensing module for monitoring conditions of a pump or pump assembly
A sensing module for configuring on a vibrating machine or structure, such as a pump or pump assembly is provided. The sensing module includes an outer shell configured with a recessed portion, and encapsulated electronics having a multicolored light array arranged inside the outer shell. The multicolored light array responds to signaling containing information about a condition being sensed or monitored by the sensing module and provides along a projection axis at least one beam of light containing information about the condition. The signaling is received from one or more of the other encapsulated electronics, including an accelerometer or temperature sensing device. The sensing module includes a domed lens configured in the recessed portion of the outer shell, and configured to project the at least one beam of light along the projection axis with a visibility of 360° for viewing from afar, by an observer visually monitoring the sensing module.

INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, TERMINAL APPARATUS, WATER SUPPLY APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR WATER SUPPLY APPARATUS
An information processing system includes a terminal apparatus that sends the received machine-type identification information and state history information received from the monitoring target apparatus by near field communication, an information processing apparatus that receives the machine-type identification information and the state history information from the terminal apparatus, and a storage apparatus that accumulates machine-type identification information identifying a machine type of a monitoring target apparatus and normal-state history information in an associated manner. When the information processing apparatus receives the machine-type identification information and state history information about a certain monitoring target apparatus from the terminal apparatus, the information processing apparatus compares the normal-state history information accumulated in the storage apparatus in association with the machine-type identification information and the received state history information, judges whether an operation state of the monitoring target apparatus is normal, and sends a judgment result to the terminal apparatus.

PROCESSING TIME PREDICTION METHOD
A processing time prediction method includes the following steps. A plurality of sampling points are set, defined by segmenting an operation time period into respective sampling time intervals. A posture assumed by a first robot and a posture assumed by a second robot for each of the sampling points are calculated, and a posture calculation time is measured. The posture assumed by the first robot and the posture assumed by the second robot for each of the sampling points are calculated, the presence or absence of interference is detected, and a posture calculation and interference detection time is measured. An interference detection time at the plurality of sampling points is computed, from a difference between the posture calculation and interference detection time and the posture calculation time. A unit processing time is computed by dividing the interference detection time by a number of the set sampling points.
