A monitoring device of a main spindle rotation speed in a machine tool displays a variation state of the rotation speed by a rotation speed variation unit using a display unit in the machine tool. The monitoring device includes a variation value setting unit, a drawing unit, a first display unit, and a settable range calculating unit. The settable range calculating unit is configured to calculate a settable range of a variation amplitude and a variation cycle based on a calculation formula. The calculation formula includes the variation cycle, a difference between a first rotation speed and a second rotation speed at mutually different timings among the rotation speeds varied relative to a reference rotation speed, an inertia of a rotating body, a rated output of a motor that drives a main spindle, and a usage proportion to the rated output of the motor.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a device and technique for impact detection includes a housing enclosing a mass member where the housing is configured to enable movement of the mass member from a first position to a second position within the housing in response to receipt by the housing of an acceleration event. The impact indicator also includes switch circuitry and a passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) module coupled to the switch circuitry. Responsive to movement of the mass member from the first position to the second position, the mass member causes a change in the switch circuitry where the change in the switch circuitry causes a change in a value output by the RFID module when activated.

A system for collecting and managing seismic data via an external communications network comprises one or more seismic stations, each including a seismic measurement apparatus producing seismic signals, a station processor converting the signals to seismic data, a station memory securely storing the seismic data on site and a station communication interface transmitting the seismic data onto an external network. The system further comprises one or more data servers, each including a server computing device, a server communication interface receiving the seismic data from the seismic stations and a server memory storing the received seismic data. The data server can determine if the received seismic data satisfies predetermined conditions for certification and/or triggering a payout in accordance with a contract, and can thereafter transmit the appropriate data signals to another location on the external communications network.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a device and technique for impact detection includes a housing, switch circuitry having an omega-shaped switch element, and a mass member movable within the housing from a first position to a second position in response to receipt by the housing of an acceleration event. Movement of the mass member to the second position causes the mass member to move the switch element to change a state of a circuit condition of the switch circuitry, and the change of the state of the switch circuitry indicates receipt of the acceleration event.
