Abstract: A solution for measuring torque and other parameters of a mechanical component is provided. At least two bands can be affixed to the mechanical component and at least two sensing assemblies can be operatively coupled to each band. Each sensing assembly generates signals indicative of relative movement between a respective band and the sensing assembly. A signal conditioner conditions the signals for a computing unit to determine the torque to the mechanical component. The computing unit can determine the torque from a twist of the mechanical component that can be correlated with the torque.

Abstract: A solution for detecting and alerting to intrusions or obstacles in an area. One or more sensing devices can be used in combination with computer processing capabilities to monitor an area for intrusions or obstacles. An illustrative area is part of a railyard or railroad track, which can be monitored for intrusions by foot, vehicle, or even by inanimate objects such as falling rocks from a track cut. The sensing, computing, and/or alerting systems can be redundant to ensure operation at all times.

Abstract: An impact load detector can include a rigid object affixed to a structure for which an impact is to be evaluated. The detector can include one or more sensors which are configured to acquire impact data corresponding to an effect the impact on the structure has on the rigid object. The detector can include a data processor that processes the impact data to evaluate for a presence of a set of faults.

Abstract: A solution for noncontact optical torque measurement of a rotating component is provided. At least one imaging system acquires images of a rotating component. A torque computing unit determines the torque of the rotating component using the images. The torque computing unit can compare the acquired images to previously collected expected images obtained under a known torque condition. The torque computing unit determines the torque of the rotating component based on variations between the acquired images and the collected expected images.

Abstract: A solution for inspecting one or more objects of an apparatus. An inspection component obtains an inspection outcome for an object of the apparatus based on image data of the apparatus. The inspection component can use a deep learning engine to analyze the image data and identify object image data corresponding to a region of interest for the object. A set of reference equipment images can be compared to the identified object image data to determine the inspection outcome for the object. The inspection component can further receive data regarding the apparatus, which can be used to determine a general location of the object on the apparatus and therefore a general location of the region of interest for the object in the image data. The inspection component can be configured to provide image data in order to obtain feedback from a human and/or further train the deep learning engine.

Abstract: An unmanned mobile observation device, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle, can be used to acquire observation data for a sensitive area. The observation data can include image data and geolocation data corresponding to a real-world geographic location at which the image data was acquired. The geolocation data can be accurate to five centimeters or less. The observation data can be evaluated to identify any defects within the sensitive area. Such evaluation can include comparison with previously acquired image data for the sensitive area, which can be enables by using the geolocation data to select the corresponding previously acquired image data.

Abstract: A solution for evaluating passing vehicles can include one or more imaging devices and a computing unit for processing image data acquired by the imaging device(s). The imaging devices can acquire image data that enables the computing unit to accurately identify a location of an element of the vehicle in an area that includes a region in which the passing vehicle is located and a restricted region in which no element or portion of an element of the passing vehicle should be unnecessarily located. The computing unit can classify any element at least partially located within the restricted region and initiate an action when such an element is not classified into a category of elements that is necessary to be located within the restricted region.

Abstract: Evaluation of a rotating wheel is described. The evaluation utilizes information acquired by radiation reflecting off of one or more regions of the rotating wheel. An imaging device can acquire image data which is processed to evaluate the wheel. The radiation can comprise diffuse and/or coherent radiation. Image data for substantially an entire circumference of the wheel can be used in the evaluation.
