Ionizing radiation detection in harsh environment conditions often requires additional signal processing to match the requirements of the commercial data readout systems. The subject of this paper is the design of the high-temperature (HT) signal conditioning module that ensures the applicability of scintillation detectors that utilize photomultiplier tubes (PMT) with moderate sampling rate instrumentation. The design was developed for the operation in HT environments (up to 120°C). In order to achieve the optimal signal shape, the module combines a charge amplifi er and a low-pass fi ltering circuitry. An embedded power supply section makes it a complete, standalone unit requiring a single 12 V supplying line. A comprehensive analysis of the developed device, named “PreAmp Shape”, was conducted in order to prove the intended functionality over the different working conditions.
The working surface of lift guide rails during operation is exposed to the destructive action of catchers under emergency braking conditions. In most cases, this surface is lubricated with grease, which makes it impossible to visually assess their local wear. The comfort of cabin movement on guide rails and thus the feelings of cabin occupants depend on the condition of guide rails. Therefore, the verification of lift guide rails wear under real conditions (in situ) is quite cumbersome. In order to assess them on a monthly basis, they would have to be completely cleaned and the excessively worn areas would have to be measured with universal measuring tools and re-lubricated. Such activities would only be a waste of time and lubricant.
Zastosowanie lin stalowych w budownictwie obejmuje między innymi cięgna i stężenia w konstrukcjach stalowych. Diagnostyka lin stalowych to głównie nieniszczące badania defektoskopowe zorientowane na wykrycie pęknięć drutów, deformacji, starć oraz korozji. Jako metody badań stosowane są najczęściej różnego rodzaju metody magnetyczne (aktywne i coraz częściej pasywne) oraz wizualne. W artykule przedstawiono charakterystykę stosowanych metod oraz wyniki diagnostyki lin stalowych na przykładzie wybranych realizacji. Omówiono sposób regulacji sił naciągu stężeń linowych konstrukcji zabytkowego hangaru oraz przebieg i wyniki kompleksowych badań stanu technicznego lin konstrukcji wsporczej gazociągu i odciągów linowych masztu radiowo-telewizyjnego.

The use of steel ropes in construction includes, among others, tension members and bracing in steel structures. Steel rope diagnostics are mainly non-destructive flaw detection tests focused on detecting wire cracks, deformations, abrasions and corrosion. As research methods, various magnetic (active and increasingly passive) and visual methods are most often used. The article presents the characteristics of the methods used and the results of wire rope diagnostics on the example of selected implementations. The method of adjusting the tension forces of rope bracing of the historic hangar structure, as well as the course and results of comprehensive tests of the technical condition of ropes of the gas pipeline supporting structure and radio mast haul-offs are discussed.

Presently used magnetic methods for testing wire ropes leave an untested rope section located in the direct vicinity of a tapered socket. However, the aforesaid area may contain damage resulting from existing stresses and wear processes. The article discusses results of a study concerned with diagnostic equipment enabling the assessment of the above-named area in terms of its technical condition as well as presents results of the FEM-based numerical analysis of a magnetisation system and laboratory test results concerning a rope containing simulated damage.

Stosowana obecnie metoda magnetyczna badania lin stalowych pozostawia nie przebadany odcinek liny w bezpośrednim otoczeniu uchwytu stożkowego. W obszarze tym mogą jednak wystąpić uszkodzenia związane z istniejącym tu stanem naprężeń oraz procesami zużyciowymi. W artykule opisano wyniki prac nad aparaturą umożliwiającą ocenę stanu technicznego liny w tym obszarze. Przedstawiono wyniki analiz numerycznych projektowanego magnetowodu oraz badań laboratoryjnych liny z zamodelowanymi uszkodzeniami.
The energy performance and operational characteristics of the passenger lift investigated in this study were based on energy consumption data registered throughout the normal duty cycle. An overview is provided of available methods employed to evaluate the energy uptake of passenger lifts, relying mostly on energy consumption measurements taken on a real object over an idealised reference duty cycle. Measurement data were used to determine the energy efficiency rating of the lift during the trip cycle and in the standby mode and the energy demand levels, which are then to be compared with measurement results obtained under the service conditions.
