Nodal dynamic data acquisition and dissemination
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a vibrating machine or structure, including a nodal dynamic data acquisition and dissemination system, comprising:
- a data collector or sensor having a signal processor configured to;
receive sensed and collected data signaling containing information about stimuli caused by a vibrating machine or structure and capture a sampled data set containing information about the stimuli, including where the stimuli include at least vibration of the vibrating machine or structure sensed by an accelerometer along at least one axis; and
provide or transmit wireless signaling containinga selected subset of the information from the sampled data set that can be provided as relevant data that includes a relevant data package/sample,a size of the relevant data package/sample, andcomputations upon the relevant data package/sample,wherein the signal processor is configured to implement a data interpretation algorithm that defines the selected subset of the information from the sampled data set, and wherein the data interpretation algorithm depends on a wireless communication capacity or protocol for communication.

Abstract
Apparatus is provided having a signal processor configured to: respond to stimuli caused by a vibrating machine or structure and capture a sampled data set containing information about the stimuli, including where the stimuli include at least vibration of the vibrating machine or structure; and determine wireless signaling containing a pre-selected subset of information from the sampled data set that can be provided as relevant data that includes a relevant data package/sample, the size of the relevant data package/sample, and computations upon the relevant data package/sample, based upon implementing a data interpretation algorithm that uses a wireless communication capacity or protocol for communication. The apparatus may include a data collector or sensor having the signal processor arranged therein and configured for coupling to the vibrating machine or structure to be monitored.

33. A method for monitoring a vibrating machine or structure, comprising:
-
receiving, with a signal processor, signaling containing information about stimuli caused by a vibrating machine or structure and capturing a sampled data set containing information about the stimuli, including where the stimuli include at least vibration of the vibrating machine or structure; and providing or transmitting, with the signal processor, wireless signaling containing information about a selected subset of the information from the sampled data set that can be provided as relevant data that includes a relevant data package/sample, a size of the relevant data package/sample, and computations upon the relevant data package/sample, wherein the method further comprises defining the selected subset of the information from the sampled data set by implementing a data interpretation algorithm that depends on a wireless communication capacity or protocol for communication. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)
