A docking station is configured to receive media in the form of audio and/or video from a portable entertainment device. The docking station transmits the received media to a remote playing device via a wired, wireless, or powerline connection. The media may include a control signal associated with the audio and/or video to control the remote playing device. In certain embodiments, the remote playing device transmits control signals to the docking station to control the portable entertainment device. In certain embodiments, the docking station electrically charges the portable entertainment device.

Systems and methods for identifying the presence of a defect in vibrating machinery. An exemplary method comprises analysis of frequency spectrum vibration data of the machine. The method comprises deriving a harmonic activity index based on estimates of the energy associated with the frequency spectrum and the energy associated with the defect's harmonic series. The method may comprise deriving a value K by estimating a value M indicative of the energy of the defect's harmonic series and dividing M by the number of spectral lines corresponding to the defect's harmonic series. The method may further comprise deriving a value R by estimating a value Q indicative of the energy in the frequency spectrum data and dividing Q by the number of spectral lines of the frequency spectrum data. The method further comprises deriving the harmonic activity index based on the estimated K and R. Related systems for executing the methods are also disclosed.
