There is provided a monitoring method and system for an aircraft engine. At an engine controller, a current value of an ageing parameter of at least one component of the aircraft engine is obtained, the at least one component having a life limit associated therewith. Based on the current value of the ageing parameter, it is determined, at the engine controller, whether the life limit of the at least one component has been reached. A start of the aircraft engine is inhibited, at the engine controller, when the life limit of the at least one component has been reached.

A warm-up evaluation device includes: a temperature data acquisition unit that acquires temperature data before warm-up operation when a machine performs the warm-up operation; a parameter value acquisition unit that acquires parameter values set in a program for performing the warm-up operation; an evaluation data acquisition unit that acquires evaluation data for evaluating a result of the warm-up operation; a learning unit that learns a machine learning model which receives the temperature data and the parameter values as an input and outputs the evaluation data on the basis of a plurality of warm-up operations performed by the same or the same types of machines; and an evaluation unit that inputs candidates for the parameter values to the machine learning model together with the temperature data and outputs the evaluation data when the same or the same types of machines perform a new warm-up operation.

Systems and methods of (remotely) controlling aspects of pools and spas and of modifying water contained therein are detailed. Internet-enabled access to pool and spa controllers may happen without any need for users to create firewall ports or utilize static internet protocol addresses. Certain networking devices may be configured using a USB connection or SD card, avoiding any requirement for an Ethernet cable or supplying separate power to the devices during configuration. Time-varying data may be obtained in respect of one or more installations and analyzed for various information.

A heart lung machine (HLM) includes: a pump actuator; an actuator control unit (ACU) operably connected to the pump actuator; a processing unit configured to receive a set of parameter data from the actuator; a display device configured to present a subset of the set of parameter data; and an input control device operably connected to the pump actuator. The input control device includes a rotatable knob. The ACU may be configured to: determine that the pump actuator has been stopped in response to a pump-stop trigger event; determine that the rotatable knob has been rotated to a first position; and in response to determining that the rotatable knob has been rotated to the first position, starting the pump actuator.

Implementations of systems for monitoring industrial equipment may include: a processor coupled with one or more sensors. The systems may include one or more input/outputs coupled with the sensors. The one or more input/outputs may be configured to couple with one or more peripheral devices. The processor may be configured to electrically couple with a remote server. The remote server may be configured to process data received from the one or more sensors and instruct, through the processor, the one or more peripheral devices to make an adjustment.

Embodiments of this present disclosure may include a system with a first power converter and a control system. The first power converter may supply a first current to a first backplane while a second power converter is concurrently supplying a second current to a second backplane. The first backplane and the second backplane may electrically couple to one or more load components and the control system. The control system may cause the first power converter to adjust the first current such that the first current and the second current are imbalanced with respect to each other in response to receiving a request to verify that the second power converter is capable of supplying the one or more load components with a target current value while the first current and the second current are imbalanced.

A motion system and method of managing health of the motion system uses at least one multi-dimensional motor operational parameter (MOP) model and motion variables used by a servo drive of the motion system to calculate at least one health indication value for the motion system. The health indication value is used to generate a notification for maintenance of the motion system.
