An apparatus includes a BLUETOOTH low energy (BLE) based emergency backup and recovery tool. The tool includes a backup power source that stores electric energy and outputs electric energy when a main power source is off. The tool includes a shared memory accessible by a processor and a BLE module. The shared memory stores information written by the processor, and operates using at least some of the electric energy output from the backup power source when the main power source is off. The tool includes the BLE module coupled to the backup power source. The BLE module operates using at least some of the electric energy output from the backup power source when the main power source is off, reads the information stored in the shared memory, and transmits the information to an external device through a wireless communication channel using a BLUETOOTH communication protocol.

A lock that includes a motor driven pin, a first motor connected to the motor driven pin, and a body housing the first motor and the motor driven pin. The motor driven pin is moveable from an open position where it is inside the body to a closed position where it is at least partially outside the body. The body includes a hook member. When the motor driven pin is in the closed position, the hook member and the motor driven pin create a closed loop.

The apparatus disclosed is a wireless vibration sensor monitor and recorder along with the associated system and method of use. The apparatus contains a digital accelerometer that operates off six axes. The apparatus may also include features such as a temperature sensor and ambient light sensor. The system actively monitors time and battery voltage level, as well as records information pertinent to the health of the apparatus. Once affixed to an appliance or piece of machinery, the apparatus monitors the duration of the cycle and the vibrations produced to compile a cycle profile. Once the apparatus has determined the cycle or predetermined period to be complete, a notification is sent to a remote user. This signal may be received by any compatible Bluetooth low energy device.

The present disclosure illustrates a system for displaying usages of home appliances based on a user's position and a method thereof. In the system, after positions of home appliances are determined and usages of the home appliances are collected, a user's current position is determined based on the usages and positions of the home appliances, and based on the user's current position one of the home appliances is controlled to display usages of all home appliances. Therefore, the system and method of the present disclosure provides the user to check each of the home appliances without spending extra time, so as to achieve the technical effect of confirming whether all home appliances are in normal functioning anywhere and anytime.

A module for monitoring industrial processes for use in a system for monitoring industrial processes that comprises sensor means (7; 17) for detecting process quantities in a process station (20), acquisition means (8, 32; 32; 32) for acquiring measurement signals (R) issued by said sensor means (7; 17), processing means (9; 19) operating on signals (T; T1) generated by said acquisition means (8, 32; 32; 32) to obtain information on the quality of the process, and means for managing the production flow (9; 19), which operate on the basis of said information on the quality of the process and are located in a workstation (50) that is remote with respect to said process station, said monitoring module (30) being configured for being set locally at said at least one process station (20) for receiving measurement signals (R) issued by said sensor means (7; 17). Said monitoring module (30), set locally at said process station (20) comprises means (32) for acquisition and processing of the measurement signals (R), which in turn comprise means (33) for encoding said measurement signals (R) generated by said sensor means (17) into encoded signals, and wireless transmission means (42) associated to said acquisition means (32) configured for sending the encoded signals (T; T1) generated by said acquisition means (32) to corresponding wireless receiver means (82; 43) comprised in said remote workstation (50) that comprises said means for managing the production flow (19) and said processing means (9), which operate on signals (T; T1) generated by said acquisition means (32) to obtain information on the quality of the process, said acquisition means (32) comprising a voltage-to-frequency converter (72) for converting said measurement signals (R) into a pulse train (T1) at a variable frequency greater than or equal to 65 536 Hz.

The present disclosure is directed to a tool setting management system and method that provides a tool having a tool setting that a user cannot modify by directly physically manipulating any tool setting modification device of the tool and that enables the user to modify the tool setting using a device wirelessly connected to the tool. Generally, the tool setting management system enables a user to wirelessly pair a user device with a tool. The tool has at least one modifiable tool setting, but does not include any component physically manipulatable by the user to modify the tool setting. Once paired with the tool, the user device enables the user to input a tool setting modification, and sends the tool setting modification to the paired tool. Upon receipt, a controller of the paired tool modifies the stored tool setting in accordance with the received tool setting modification.
