The example embodiments are directed to a system and method for a virtual processor that enables unobtrusive observation of legacy systems for analytics in a system-on-chip (SoC) environment. In one example, the method includes implementing a virtual processor in field programmable gate array (FPGA) programmable logic, the virtual processor comprising a virtual version of a target system, capturing one or more operational parameters in volatile memory of the virtual processor using an access controller configured to provide direct access to the volatile memory of the virtual processor, streaming the one or more operational parameters to the embedded processor, storing the one or more operational parameters in volatile memory of the embedded processor, and performing in-situ monitoring using the one or more operational parameters.

The example embodiments are directed to a system and method for a virtual processor that enables real-time in situ disassembly and debugging. In one example, the method includes implementing a virtual processor in field programmable gate array (FPGA) programmable logic, the virtual processor comprising a virtual version of a target system, capturing data representative of operations in the virtual processor using a bus access device configured to provide direct access to components of the virtual processor, streaming the data to the embedded processor, storing the data in the memory device, and performing in-situ disassembly and debugging.

A fiberoptic multi-parameter sensing system for monitoring turbomachinery system shaft static and dynamic torques, vibration modes and associated operation status includes a multi-furcated fiber bundle based optical splitter configured to transmit light to a surface of at least one turbomachinery system shaft through a plurality of optical fiber bundles disposed at a plurality of locations in proximity to the surface of the at least one shaft, in which the plurality of locations together are arranged in a substantially axial direction between the ends of the at least one shaft. The system further includes an array of high-temperature bifurcated fiber bundle based reflectance probes to receive reflectance signals from the shaft surface and send to an array of photosensitive detectors, configured to detect dynamic light reflected from the at least one turbomachinery system shaft surface in response to the transmitted light during rotation of at least one turbomachinery system shaft and generate dynamic reflected light signals there from. A sensing mechanism is configured to determine a torque or vibration on at least one turbomachinery system shaft in response to the dynamic reflected light signal signatures based on time-domain and frequency-domain signal processes.

Turbomachinery system fiberoptic multi-parameter sensing system and method

A method and apparatus employing an array of spaced detectors and a detection circuit to detect disturbance of first and second conductors and provide signals to a computer system to determine both the presence of the intruder and the direction of travel of the intruder. The velocity of the intruder's travel may also be determined. When used with a destruction device to destroy an intruder such as an explosive shell, the lob time and the killing distance may also be calculated and used to fire the shell and to explode it at a position to destroy the intruder. Often the intruder is an armored vehicle or a tank. The conductors may be spaced in an array that has the appearance of a spider web. The conductors may be light weight conductive elastomeric conductors.

A motor vehicle data collection, monitoring and management system is provided for ready connection to the vehicle's onboard data network through the data interface provided by the vehicle manufacturer. The data collected includes data available on the manufacturer's network, such as network data traffic between control modules, as well as data from discrete components located outside of the motor vehicle network. The data collecting and monitoring system exhibits power saving features including automatic shutdown when the motor vehicle is switched off. A methodology for configuring the system is also disclosed.
