The present disclosure provides a non-destructive technique for the measurement of bearing element speed and/or pass-frequency (roller speed and/or pass- frequency for roller bearings or ball speed and/or pass-frequency for ball bearings) that can be compared with a rotational rate of the rotary element to evaluate skidding. The technique employs a high temperature optical emitter and detector pair, which may be adjacent in a reflective setup, or at opposite sides of the bearing in a pitch-catch setup. The emitter has an opening angle of 45-120 to enable the sensor to operate in an oil droplet laden environment. In either configuration, the sensors have been successfully demonstrated at speeds beyond 20,000 rpm and oil supply temperatures up to 82 C, and have been demonstrated on roller bearings featuring metallic and polymer-based cages. The sensors are also not sensitive to bearing material and can achieve results with metal as well as hybrid bearings (e.g. ceramic rollers).

Therefore, the fomied nanoparticles are tightly anchored to the nanotube and can be self-regenerated by room light to offer the material a high performance and durability.

The present invention provides a method and system to correctly sample, at a central location, a signal at a second clock frequency from a remote antenna when the signal is at a first clock frequency. The present invention provides an improved method of incoherent clocking to correctly sample a signal from a remote antenna at a clock frequency of a central location, such as a central site of a radio telescope array. The signal contains a "tracer" which is related to the frequency of the remote antenna. The tracer phase is written into a dual-port memory at the first clock frequency and then read from the memory at the second clock frequency. The tracer phase is transferred across digital clock domains using Gray-doe methods so that phase coding errors do not occur.

A method of monitoring both liner wear and charge impact in an industrial mill uses a sensor mounted on an elongated element deployed through a shell into a liner of the mill. The elongated element wears at a same rate as the liner under conditions within the shell. Liner wear is related to a reduction in length of the elongated element as measured by travel time of an ultrasound wave, while location and strength of charge impact is related to change in amplitude of vibrations caused by the charge impact. Liner wear measurement can be improved by using shear ultrasound waves instead of conventional longitudinal ultrasound waves. A mill monitoring apparatus has a means for acquiring ultrasonic waves and audible sound waves using the same digitizer; a means for determining the angular position of the monitoring apparatus; and a means for supplying electric power to the apparatus.

G01N 21/31 - Investigating relative effect of material at wavelengths characteristic of specific elements or molecules, e.g. atomic absorption spectrometry
Abstract An integrated optical sensor enables the detection and identification of one or more remote gases using a transmission filter that matches specific absorption features of a remote gas and is detected using a single photodetection element. The sensor comprises an integrated optical component that is characterized by its transmission spectrum which corresponds to absorption or emission features of a target gas over a defined spectral bandpass, and the ability to have a reversibly tunable transmission spectrum. The change in the optical power output from the sensor as the transmission spectrum is tuned is proportional to the optical depth of the target gas absorption lines when viewed with a background light source. The optical power output from the integrated optical component is therefore related to the absorption spectrum of the input light Physical properties of the sensor are tailored to produce a quasi- periodic transmission spectrum that results in a stronger signal contrast for a specific gas. The sensor is preferably a waveguide ring resonator with a free spectral range that matches the absorption spectrum of a gas over a finite spectral bandpass. Date Recue/Date Received 2020-05-20
