Operational State Recognition of a DC Motor Using Edge Artificial Intelligence.

Edge artificial intelligence (EDGE-AI) refers to the execution of artificial intelligence algorithms on hardware devices while processing sensor data/signals in order to extract information and identify patterns, without utilizing the cloud. In the field of predictive maintenance for industrial applications, EDGE-AI systems can provide operational state recognition for machines and production chains, almost in real time. This work presents two methodological approaches for the detection of the operational states of a DC motor, based on sound data.

Shoulder strength with rotator cuff tears. Pre- and postoperative analysis.

Twenty-five patients with rotator cuff tears had bilateral isokinetic shoulder strength evaluations after a pain-relieving subacromial lidocaine injection. Shoulder strength testing was repeated at six months and again at 12 months after rotator cuff surgery. Strength was recorded as a ratio of peak torques comparing the operative with the nonoperative shoulder.
