Abstract: A method of bearing fault detection including measuring a signal of torsional energy transfer from a rotating device to a non-rotating device at a distance away from the rotating device, calculating a health status of the rotating device based on a comparison of the measured signal to a baseline signal, and calculating a remaining useful life of the rotating device.

Abstract: A system and method includes an arbitrating data bus and a plurality of sensing nodes connected to communicate on the arbitrating data bus. The plurality of sensing nodes are configured to digitize and monitor a first amount of data during a listening mode of an event monitoring mode and detect an event based upon the first amount of data. The plurality of sensing nodes are further configured to output an event message to the arbitrating data bus upon detection of the event. The plurality of sensing nodes are further configured to digitize and retain a second amount of data following detection of the event message on the arbitrating data bus.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating a trigger signal in response to detection of a triggering acoustic event sensed by one of a distributed network of optical acoustic sensors mechanically coupled to an aircraft structure. Each of the optical acoustic sensors is configured to generate an optical response signal indicative of an acoustic condition detected by the optical acoustic sensor. A controller receives the optical response signals and generates, if a triggering one of the optical response signals is indicative of a triggering acoustic event, a trigger signal. The controller also determines a location of the specific one of the distributed network of optical acoustic sensors that generated the triggering one of the optical response signals. In some embodiments, the trigger signal is sent to a Health & Usage Monitoring System configured to perform a health scan, in response to receiving the trigger signal, of the aircraft structure.

Abstract: A sensor system can include a sensor configured to output raw sensor data, a plurality of processing modules configured to process the raw sensor data from the sensor to output processed sensor data, a state module for each processing module operative to cause a respective processing module to receive and/or process the sensor data, and a control module configured to receive a coded bitstring and activate or deactivate a predefined set of state modules based on the coded bitstring to control which processing modules process the sensor data and/or an order of processing. The coded bitstring can include a plurality of discrete bits less than the amount of processing modules and/or state modules. A plurality of the state modules and/or processing modules can be associated with at least one discrete bit of the plurality of discrete bits such that each coded bitstring corresponds to a predetermined group of state modules and/or processing modules.

Abstract: A Fabry-Pérot sensor assembly includes an optical element defining a Fabry-Pérot optical cavity therein. A ferrule is affixed to the optical element. The ferrule is configured to physically connect to an optic fiber, aligning the optic fiber optically with the cavity. The optical element includes a MgAl2O4 spinel or aluminum oxynitride Al23N27O5. A method of making an Fabry-Pérot optical cavity includes using a ceramic processing etching process to remove material from a first optical member to form the cavity therein, leaving a rim of the optical member surrounding the cavity peripherally. The method includes affixing a second optical member to the rim to enclose the cavity.

Abstract: A liquid level measurement system includes a liquid receptacle including a side wall and a guided wave sensor array coupled to the wall. The guided wave sensor array is configured and adapted to emit induced guided waves. A method for detecting a liquid level in a receptacle using a liquid level measurement system includes emitting induced guided waves from a first guided wave sensor array coupled to a wall of a liquid receptacle thereby generating transmitted guided waves. The method includes detecting the transmitted guided waves with at least one of the first guided wave sensor array or a second guided wave sensor array. The method includes determining a liquid level of the liquid receptacle using the detected transmitted guided waves.

Abstract: A load sensing system for sensing a load on a structure can include an optical load sensing element configured to change an optical state based on a force applied thereto, an optical source operatively connected to the optical load sensing element and configured to input an input optical signal to the optical load element, and an optical detector configured to receive a returned optical signal from the optical load sensing element. The optical detector can be configured to detect one or more frequency peaks of the returned optical signal and to use the one or more frequency peaks of the returned optical signal to correlate to a load value of the load and output the load value indicative of the load.
