A measurement result receiving apparatus receives measurement results transmitted from a plurality of measuring devices, the measurement results obtained by conducting a measurement at a predetermined sampling interval according to a reference clock of each measuring device. The measurement result receiving apparatus includes a receiving section that receives the measurement results from the plurality of measuring devices; and a sampling interval converting section that converts the measurement results into measurement values associated with a common sampling interval.

A receiver includes an analog receiver and a digital processor. The analog receiver has an input for receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal, and an output for providing a digital intermediate frequency signal. The digital processor has an input for receiving the digital intermediate frequency signal, and an output for providing digital symbols. The digital processor measures peak-to-peak frequency deviation of the digital intermediate frequency signal, and performs a digital signal processing function on the digital intermediate frequency signal to provide the digital symbols based on the peak-to-peak frequency deviation so measured.

A device and method for controlling load on a server is provided. A server comprises: memory storing information associated with user identifiers; a communication interface; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive, using the communication interface, a user identifier; assign an available mobile device, of a plurality of shared mobile devices, to the user identifier, the available mobile device storing respective information associated with the user identifier; and control, via the communication interface, an output device to provide an indication of an assignment of the available mobile device.

An automatic inspection system includes a wireless master station that communicates with each inspection target reading device via the wireless network, a data acquisition unit that acquires the measurement data from each inspection target reading device through a wireless master station, a data storage unit that stores the measurement data, a determination condition storage unit that stores determination conditions related to the measurement data, and an inspection unit that outputs predetermined measurement data selected from the stored measurement data and a predetermined determination condition corresponding to the predetermined measurement data among the stored determination conditions in association with each other.

A method of detecting the closure of a road element is disclosed; the road element being one of a set of alternative incoming or outgoing elements at a node in a network of navigable elements. A server obtains positional data relating to the position of a plurality of devices with respect to time traversing the node. A count is determined of the number of devices in a consecutive sequence of device selecting a given one of the navigable elements from among the set of elements. The count is compared to a predetermined threshold to determine whether another one of the elements is closed. The threshold is based upon the relative probability of the element to which the count relates being taken from the set of road elements.

A method for protecting a nonmobile work machine driven by an electric motor includes determining, via a measuring unit, at least one measured value of a time-critical parameter of the work machine. The work machine is switched off when the determined measured value of the time-critical parameter is outside a predefined setpoint range. The determined measured value of the time-critical parameter is quantized in a level signal and transmitted as a first signal to an evaluation unit via an interface, and a second signal for further information concerning the work machine, to be transmitted from the measuring unit to the evaluation unit, is modulated to the first signal.
