A method of operating a pre-opened pre-positioned clamp, the clamp being operable between an open and a closed position. The method comprises releasing the clamp from the open position using a tool head (201), making measurements of a movement of the tool head resulting from the releasing, recording data relating to the measurements, determining a frequency content of the data, and, on the basis of the determined frequency content, determining whether the clamp has moved to the closed position.

Techniques are described for automated operations involving acquiring and analyzing information from an interior of a house, building or other structure, for use in generating and providing a representation of that interior. Such techniques may include using a user's mobile device to capture video data from multiple viewing locations (e.g., 360° video at each viewing location) within multiple rooms, and capturing data linking the multiple viewing locations (e.g., by recording video, acceleration and/or other data from the mobile device as the user moves between the two viewing locations), creating a panorama image for each viewing location, analyzing the linking information to model the user's travel path and determine relative positions/directions between at least some viewing locations, creating inter-panorama links in the panoramas to each of one or more other panoramas based on such determined positions/directions, and providing information to display multiple linked panorama images to represent the interior.

A method of storing data relating to a parameter of a vehicle, wherein the data is provided by a vehicle sensor. The method includes the steps of: receiving, at time intervals, a series of first and second values from the vehicle sensor. The method further includes steps of processing the first and second values in a manner to reduce the processor requirements and memory for processing the first and second values.

Accelerometer measuring and recording instrument which automatically performs seismic assessment of building structures. The main scope of the instrument described is civil engineering buildings. It is manufactured using low cost sensor (1) and control unit (2) (low level microcontrollers). By combining proper sensor mounting time (1) and proper automated data processing, the dynamic characteristics of the structures (natural frequencies of vibration) can be accurately derived. The seismic assessment is then extracted by applying the guidelines of modem earthquake regulations defining the performance point for the targeted displacement of an input earthquake. In order to obtain the result, the elements used are the measured eigenfrequencies of the building, the standard Push Over curves for each building category that are parameterized in the instrument memory and the input data through which the category to which the building under measurement belongs is determined. These standard Push Over curves are automatically corrected to match the results of the measurements.

An apparatus and use of the apparatus for monitoring a current-carrying device wherein at least one acceleration sensor produces acceleration measurement values and a communication device transmits produced acceleration measurement values. A power supply unit is for the acceleration sensor and the communication device. The power supply unit includes an induction plate of a metallic material and a conductor loop extending around the induction plate and produces a power supply for the acceleration sensor and the communication device exclusively through induction from an electromagnetic alternating field of the current-carrying device. The apparatus can be positioned in a closed housing having a housing wall and the induction plate can be at least a subregion of the housing wall.

A measurement apparatus is equipped with a processor. The processor acquires first velocity data, which is data on a velocity in a first direction, and second velocity data, which is data on a velocity in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, on the basis of accelerations acquired at an acceleration sensor. The processor calculates a first coefficient on the basis of the acquired first velocity data and the acquired second velocity data. The processor determines whether the measurement apparatus is installed in normal orientation on the basis of the calculated first coefficient.
