20100219964 | Method and System for Detecting Faults in Sheet Material - A method for detecting faults in sheet material, particularly folds in steel sheet which is being rolled to final specifications, consists in coupling a sensor which is sensitive to vibration in the rolling apparatus and monitoring an oscillating electric signal generated from the sensor to detect spikes which correspond to faults in the sheet material. A system for implementing the method is also provided. | 09-02-2010 |
20110001627 | FORCE MEASURING RATCHET TIE DOWN - The present invention provides a force measuring ratchet tie down in the field of goods holding. The force measuring ratchet tie down of the invention addresses the technical problems such has insufficiently tight binding, severe difficulty in control and trouble in adjustment. The force measuring ratchet tie down includes a body assembly, a handle, a teeth stop board, a catch and a scroll. The handle is connected with the body assembly through the scroll. A binding belt having a fixable outer end is connected to the body assembly. Another binding belt having a fixable outer end is rolled on the scroll. A ratchet is fixed on the scroll. The body assembly is movably connected with a teeth stop board the end of which could be embedded among the teeth of the ratchet. The handle is movably connected with a catch the end of which could be embedded among the teeth of the ratchet. A sensor is placed at a forced part of the tie down, which is linked with a signal processing circuit and could generate a signal corresponding to the size of the tensioning force of the binding belt when the tie down is in operation. A display device is connected to the signal processing circuit. The force measuring ratchet tie down of the invention has advantages including a high safety property, a compact structure and a low manufacturing cost. | 01-06-2011 |
20110068943 | STORAGE RACK SAFETY DEVICE - A safety device for a storage rack can include a length of webbing configured to span across a rear side of the storage rack. A sensor device can be coupled to one end of the webbing and a signaling device can be configured to communicate with the sensor device. The signaling device can include a selectively actuatable alert indicator. The sensor device can be operable to sense an increase in tension in the webbing when an item is placed in a position on the storage rack so as to engage the webbing. The sensor device can generate a signal indicative of the increase in tension and communicate the signal to the signaling device. The signaling device can be operable to actuate the at least one alert indicator responsive to the communicated signal so as to provide an indication of a position of the item relative to the storage rack. | 03-24-2011 |
20110109467 | TENSION INDICATOR - The present invention concerns a tension indicator for indicating when a strap ( | 05-12-2011 |
20120038485 | Control System and Method of Operating a Back-and-Forth Cable System - A control system and a method for a back-and-forth cable system is provided. The cable system includes a running cable, a first pulley and a second pulley, the pulleys being located at both ends of a course for guiding the running cable. A controllable motor assembly drives of the pulleys and a carrier is connected to the running cable, for pulling or towing a boarder. The control system includes first and second tracking devices to generate first and second tracking signal indicative of the rotation of the pulleys. Two limit positions along the course are stored in storing means and a controller has inputs to receive the first and the second tracking signals and inverts rotation of the controllable motor assembly when the two positions of the carrier detected go beyond either one of the two limit positions. | 02-16-2012 |
20120105242 | TENSION SENSOR ASSEMBLY - A tension detector may detect and help correct tension in a lift cable. The cable may include a lift cable within a telescopic structure, such as a telescopic tower. The tension sensor may detect when the cable tension is outside a high tension threshold and a low tension threshold and trigger an alert when outside the thresholds. The alert may be an audible alert or a visual alert. A controller may prevent a user from making the tension worse and encourage an operator to correct the tension problem by preventing a winch from expanding or retracting the telescopic structure. The tension sensor may use springs to calibrate the thresholds for the high tension and low tension and a series of pulleys to manipulate an arm to engage a tension sensor. | 05-03-2012 |
20120268284 | FORCE INDICATING ATTACHMENT STRAP FOR AN ORTHOTIC - An improved orthotic has a strap that secures the orthotic to a wearer, and comprises a tension indicator coupled to the strap. The tension indicator includes a first element disposed to produce a tactile signal when a tension in the strap reaches a threshold that is less than a permanent deformation threshold. | 10-25-2012 |
20130187784 | FENCING - A wire fence accessory is provided including a connector configured to secure the accessory to a support post of a wire fence system; and a tension sensor configured to measure tension in a wire connected to the accessory and output a signal indicative of the tension, wherein the accessory includes an indicator configured to output, at the accessory, an indication of the tension in the wire according to the signal output by the tension sensor. | 07-25-2013 |
20140306829 | Tension Sensor Assembly - A tension detector may detect and help correct tension in a lift cable. The cable may include a lift cable within a telescopic structure, such as a telescopic tower. The tension sensor may detect when the cable tension is outside a high tension threshold and a low tension threshold and trigger an alert when outside the thresholds. The alert may be an audible alert or a visual alert. A controller may prevent a user from making the tension worse and encourage an operator to correct the tension problem by preventing a winch from expanding or retracting the telescopic structure. The tension sensor may use springs to calibrate the thresholds for the high tension and low tension and a series of pulleys to manipulate an arm to engage a tension sensor. | 10-16-2014 |
20150325099 | System for Detecting Tensile Force of Guy Rope in Pneumatic Fender and Pneumatic Fender - The present technology provides a system for detecting the tensile force of a guy rope in a pneumatic fender capable of preventing the breakage of the guy rope, and a pneumatic fender. Tensile force data detected by a tensile force sensor detecting the tensile force of a guy rope is transmitted by a wireless transmitter, and is inputted to a computation device through a receiver. An alerting device issues an alert when the tensile data is at least equivalent to reference data previously inputted to the computation device. | 11-12-2015 |
