Group performance monitoring systems and methods are provided. A system for monitoring a plurality of individuals engaged in an activity may include a base station, a plurality of individual monitors to communicate wirelessly with the base station, a plurality of sensors, each sensor in communication with an individual monitor, each to be coupled to an individual, and each to sense a characteristic of the individual and to transmit, during the activity, data indicative of the characteristic to the individual monitor, and a group monitoring device to communicate wirelessly with the base station. Each individual monitor may transmit, during the activity, the data to the base station. The base station may receive the data and to transmit, during the activity, a metric based on the data to the group monitoring device. The group monitoring device may display a representation of the metric.

Group performance monitoring system and method

The present invention provides group performance monitoring systems and methods. In one exemplary embodiment, a system for monitoring a plurality of individuals engaged in an activity includes a base station, a plurality of individual monitors configured to communicate wirelessly with the base station, a plurality of sensors, each sensor in communication with an individual monitor, each configured to be coupled to an individual, and each configured to sense a characteristic of the individual and to transmit, during the activity, data indicative of the characteristic to the individual monitor, and a group monitoring device configured to communicate wirelessly with the base station, wherein each individual monitor is configured to transmit, during the activity, the data to the base station, wherein the base station is configured to receive the data and to transmit, during the activity, a metric based on the data to the group monitoring device, and wherein the group monitoring device is configured to display a representation of the metric.

The dielectric slit die is an instrument that is designed to measure electrical, rheological, ultrasonics, optical and other properties of a flowing liquid. In one application, it is connected to the exit of an extruder, pump or mixing machine that passes liquefied material such as molten plastic, solvents, slurries, colloidal suspensions, and foodstuffs into the sensing region of the slit shaped die. Dielectric sensing is the primary element of the slit die, but in addition to the dielectric sensor, the die contains other sensing devices such as pressure, optical fiber, and ultrasonic sensors that simultaneously yield an array of materials property data. The slit die has a flexible design that permits interchangeability among sensors and sensor positions. The design also allows for the placement of additional sensors and instrumentation ports that expand the potential data package obtained.

Dielectric slit die for in-line monitoring of liquids processing

A sensor which allows dielectric measurements to be made on a high temperature product such as a molten plastic flowing in a conduit. It comprises a ceramic cylinder with an interdigitated electrode capacitor patterned into the inside wall. Uses of the sensor include continuous determination of copolymer composition and polymer viscosity (molecular weight) in a completely non-obstructive manner.
