A damper assembly includes a damper frame, at least one damper blade, an actuator and a sensor module. The damper blade(s) is / are movably attached to the damper frame to at least partially regulate air flow proximate the damper frame. The actuator is configured to control a position of the at least one damper blade. The sensor module is coupled to a first damper blade and includes a sensor device operable to determine position information regarding the position of the damper blade. The sensor module further includes a wireless communication circuit that is operable to communicate the position information to a second wireless communication circuit disposed off of or away from the damper blade.

The invention provides sample tracking systems and methods. A sample tracking system can comprise a plate having a plurality of sample wells and an apparatus for illuminating each individual sample well, wherein the manner with which the sample well is illuminated can track the loading of the sample components to the sample wells.

An inductor design having a detection winding which is magnetically coupled to the existing winding and its induction voltage is used to cancel that of the existing winding. Having the induction voltage cancelled, the voltage across the existing winding represents a resistive voltage drop of the existing winding current. The detection winding is furthermore built with a non-inductive portion having a significantly higher DC resistance in proportion to that of the existing winding. This resistance proportion is insensitive against temperature variations when both the existing and the detection windings are built with the same material and subjected to the same environment. A reference current is fed through the detection winding to produce a reference resistive voltage drop which is used to cancel the resistive voltage drop across the existing winding. When a precise cancellation occurs, the existing winding current is known to be in exact proportion to the reference current.

A transmitter for a communications link is tested by using a (software) simulation of a reference channel and / or a reference receiver to test the transmitter. In one embodiment for optical fiber communications links, a data test pattern is applied to the transmitter under test and the resulting optical output is captured, for example by a sampling oscilloscope. The captured waveform is subsequently processed by the software simulation, in order to simulate propagation of the optical signal through the reference channel and / or reference receiver. A performance metric for the transmitter is calculated based on the processed waveform.

A periodontal probe is provided for measuring a depth of a periodontal pocket using a touch sensor. The periodontal probe includes a handle with a probe tip for insertion into the periodontal pocket. The probe tip includes a touch sensitive reader located on or near an exterior surface thereof for measuring contact between the exterior surface of the probe tip and the tissue of the periodontal pocket. A touch sensor and a microcontroller are connected to the touch sensitive reader to measure the amount of contact between the touch sensitive reader and the tissue of the periodontal pocket, which corresponds to the depth of the periodontal pocket.

A variable-pitch control device for a turbomachine compressor is disclosed. The device includes a rod, a fastening device for fastening a first end of the rod to a pivot of a vane to be controlled, and a connection device between a second end of the rod and a control ring. The rod is substantially cylindrical, its first end being engaged in a bore in the pivot of the vane. The device further includes a clamping device for clamping the first end of the rod in the bore in the pivot in order to fasten it to the pivot.

The invention discloses a multi-source modeling and collaborative analysis method for electricity stealing behavior. The multi-source modeling and collaborative analysis method for the electricity stealing behavior includes steps that 1, acquiring data; 2, pre-processing the data; 3, dividing the pre-processed data, and using the divided data as different types of historical consumption behavior of a user; 4, acquiring the current historical data of the user; 5, monitoring the abnormal electricity consumption based on the historical electricity consumption data of the user; 6, collaboratively monitoring the abnormal electricity consumption based on the historical water consumption data of the user; 7, collaboratively monitoring the abnormal electricity consumption based on the historical fuel gas consumption data of the user; 8, collaboratively monitoring the abnormal electricity consumption based on the historical communication consumption data of the user; 9, calculating the comprehensive abnormal electricity consumption monitoring value and judging suspicious users. The multi-source modeling and collaborative analysis method for the electricity stealing behavior is capable of monitoring the electricity stealing behavior of the user at the power supply end, improving the electricity consumption monitoring precision, duly feeding back the possible electricity stealing behavior and lowering the false electricity stealing behavior detecting rate so as to guarantee the normal running of the electric system.
