Systems and methods for collecting, displaying, analyzing, recording, and transmitting fluid hydrocarbon production monitoring and control data
Systems and methods for enabling an augmented reality device to easily collect, analyze, transmit, and act on wireless information transmitted from various instruments on hydrocarbon production and pipeline skids. The augmented reality device preferentially presents and records available data streams from the various instruments on the hydrocarbon production and pipeline skids in an augmented reality user interface. The augmented reality user interface preferentially presents such data streams as readings from the various instruments in an easy-to-read, color-coded display, wherein the color coding relates to various in-tolerance and out-of-tolerance ranges related to each of the various instruments.
ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND METHOD
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a receiver, a processor and a transmitter. The receiver receives a reception signal including a value indicating a physical quantity related to operation of a control target object at a communication destination. The processor determines a state of wireless communication between the electronic apparatus and the communication destination. The processor calculates a target value for instructing operation of the control target object. The processor generates a transmission signal including a value obtained by modifying the target value. The transmitter transmits the transmission signal to the control target object.
FIELD DEVICE HAVING A HOUSING, A CONNECTION LINE GUIDED THROUGH A CABLE BUSHING AND A RADIO MODULE HAVING AN ANTENNA
A field device having a metal housing, a connection line guided through a cable bushing and a radio module having an antenna, wherein the antenna extends, at least in sections, outside of the housing parallel to the connection line and in the cable bushing
Preventing contamination in a bulk liquid storage tank
A system and method prevent product-type contamination in a bulk liquid storage tank. A control unit receives an indication of a storage product type in the bulk storage and a delivery product type in the tanker truck. The control unit compares the delivery product type with the storage product type and controls delivery based on a result of the comparison.
Control of a Cutting Tool
An example system includes a cutting tool and a device configured to remotely control the cutting tool. In response to receiving information indicative of actuation of a first user interface item, the device sends a first signal to the cutting tool so as to request enabling the cutting tool to be operated remotely. The cutting tool sends a second signal to the device indicating that remote operation of the cutting tool has been enabled. The cutting tool receives information indicating that the trigger has been activated, and sends a third signal to the device indicating that the cutting tool is ready to perform a cutting operation. The device receives information indicative of actuation of a second user interface item, and responsively, sends a fourth signal to the cutting tool so as to cause the cutting tool to perform the cutting operation.
WIRELESS EMERGENCY STOP SYSTEMS, AND CORRESPONDING METHODS OF OPERATING A WIRELESS EMERGENCY STOP SYSTEM FOR A MACHINE SAFETY INTERFACE
Exemplary embodiments are provided of wireless emergency stop systems. In an exemplary embodiment, a wireless emergency stop system includes a machine safety device wired to a machine stop circuit for stopping operation of a machine when the machine stop circuit is activated.

During the acquiring, the wireless sensing device compares results of the plurality of measurements with the one or more desired movement properties and communicates with the drive to adjust one or more drive parameters based on the comparing.
Method and device for temperature control in a radio receiver
A method (300) for temperature control in a radio receiver includes: receiving (301) a sequence of radio subframes, wherein each radio subframe (200) in the sequence of radio subframes comprises at least one control region (201) and at least one data region (202); monitoring (302) temperature information indicating a system temperature (T) of the radio receiver; and if the temperature information indicates that the system temperature (T) exceeds (303) a first threshold (T1), transition (304) to a second state (305) in which receiving the at least one data region is disabled.
WIRELESS ENGINE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EMISSION CONTROL AND AIRCRAFT NETWORKING
A wireless engine monitoring system for an aircraft engine includes a housing and wireless transceiver that receives engine data, including engine data relating to environmental engine emissions. A processor processes the engine data and generates an alarm report when the environmental engine emissions exceed a threshold.
System and computer-implemented method for controlling access to communicative motor
A system and computer-implemented method for controlling wireless access to the operations of communicative electric motors. An electronic processing element receives an authentication request from a remote access device via a wireless transceiver, approves the authentication request, including determining an associated access level from among a hierarchy of access levels, and grants access to a motor controller to perform actions allowed by the associated access level. Approving the request may be based on receiving a valid password, which may be calculated on the remote access device by a computer program using an electronic key, or by receiving information from an authentication hardware component associated with the device. The various access levels may allow for shutting off, read-only monitoring (of, e.g., temperature, vibration), controlling (e.g., speed), and programming (e.g., tap settings) operation of the motor, and controlling the authentication process (e.g., adding and removing users and assigning and changing access levels).
