RECORDER FOR SHAFT ROTATION VERIFICATION

A recorder for documenting that a shaft in a rotating machine has been rotated while the rotating machine is stored or otherwise out of service. The recorder includes an elongated strip that is wound on a reel disposed adjacent the shaft. The reel is rotatable about an axle that is spaced away from the shaft. A free end of the strip is secured to an outer surface of the shaft and spools onto the shaft as the shaft is rotated, and which unwinds the strip from the reel. Markings are on the strip representing distance from the free end, which visually indicate occurrence and amount of shaft rotation. Types of markings include different colors or patterns, and which change at distances corresponding to shaft circumference. Alternatively, the markings are metered increments illustrating linear distance.

MOTION COMPENSATION FOR A SPAD ARRAY CAMERA

Examples are disclosed that relate to motion compensation on a single photon avalanche detector (SPAD) array camera. One example provides a method enacted on an imaging device comprising a SPAD array camera and a motion sensor, the SPAD array camera comprising a plurality of pixels. The method comprises acquiring a plurality of subframes of image data. Each subframe of image data comprises a binary value for each pixel. Based upon motion data from the motion sensor, the method further comprises determining a change in pose of the imaging device between adjacent subframes, applying a positional offset to a current subframe based upon the motion data to align a location of a stationary imaged feature in the current subframe with a location of the stationary imaged feature in a prior subframe to create aligned subframes, summing the aligned subframes to form an image, and outputting the image.

Mechanical gauges remain a common means to present values of a system or system component to a user. Connecting mechanical gauges to allow for notification messages to be generated, when the value indicated by a needle of the gauge is of particular interest, provides for greater usability. Illuminating a narrow portion of a gauge and utilizing a light detector to determine if the needle is, or is not, reflecting the light emitted, allows for systems to be alerted when the gauge has a particular value. Additionally, the area of interest may be further divided and illuminated by differentiated light to allow the notification to further include the direction from which the needle has entered the area of interest.
