A rotational element monitoring process (700) utilizing a machine condition indicating sensor and monitoring device (100) adapted to a rotating machine (410). The process (700) monitors at least one operating characteristic of a rotating element of a rotating machine. The operating characteristics can include velocity (500), acceleration (500), temperature (600), etc. The process (700) establishes a baseline value (524, 624) for each operating characteristic. An alarm threshold (530, 630) is determined by either a predetermined percentage difference (540) or a predetermined quantified delta (640). The device establishes a measurement schedule (740) retaining the device in a sleep mode (740) and pulsing a condition investigation in accordance with a frequency. The frequency increases (742) when approaching or exceeding an alarm condition. The device (100) indicates an alarm condition by illuminating an alarm indicating light (220, 222, 224).

A preferred method for identifying a type of abnormality in an insulation system of a power transformer comprises measuring dielectric losses in a section of the insulation system, calculating theoretical dielectric losses for the section based on the material properties, geometry, and temperature of the section, and generating a graphical representation of a percent difference between the measured and calculated dielectric losses. The preferred method also comprises comparing a shape of the graphical representation with a shape of one or more graphical representations of a percent difference between measured and theoretical dielectric losses in one or more other sections of insulation each known to have a specific type of abnormality.

A method and apparatus allows the driver to set a threshold speed for generating a warning by slightly modifying the speed limit, such that a warning mechanism can be activated when the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold speed. The method and apparatus achieves a convenient interface for the driver to set the threshold speeds at once according to different speed limits by setting a number such as a percentage in a speed adjustment unit. The number indicates the difference in percentage between the speed limit and the threshold speed. The threshold speed can be either higher or lower than the speed limit based on the driving style and preference of the driver.

An automatic method of which days/hours represent good candidates for reducing demand to achieve potential savings and the amount of demand reduction that can be achieved with a tolerable level of disruption to status quo operations. Demand interval data including utility usage rate (UUR) values is received from one or more utility monitoring devices, and are sorted in descending order. A percent difference is calculated for each UUR value relative to the previous one, and a cumulative percent difference accumulates the percent differences from the preceding rows. The average cumulative percent difference is divided by the total number of UUR values in the measured period to produce a ratio. The standard deviation of time is determined, and from those demand data associated with ratios greater than a ratio threshold and standard deviations less than a standard deviation threshold the demand reduction amount and the number of control hours are determined.

An automatic temperature compensation method that automatically adjusts trip point thresholds of a motor circuit protector in response to changes in temperature. The relationship between two curves is exploited to match temperature sensor readings from a temperature sensor circuit with burden resistor percentage values derived from a burden resistor circuit. A temperature inflection point is determined from the intersection of (1) the temperature sensor curve plotting the voltage output of the temperature sensor versus temperature and (2) the burden resistance curve plotting burden resistance versus temperature. A temperature value along the temperature sensor curve is transformed into the corresponding burden resistance on the burden resistance curve. The burden resistance is expressed as a percentage variance from a burden resistance at an ambient temperature. An adjusted trip point threshold is calculated from the computed burden resistor percentage, and the adjusted trip point threshold is stored in a memory.

A self-tuning fuel injection system and method having a first long-term fuel trim correction algorithm to selectively replace an operating zone within a volumetric efficiency look-up table based with a proposed correction only if mathematical comparisons with a surrounding determinative zone reveal that the correction will not result in an abrupt discontinuity.

A computer system is provided that stores reference data records and event data records that each correspond to one of the reference data records. Tokens are generated from the reference data records and sorted into subsets. Each reference data record that has a given token is included in the corresponding subset.
