Inventors include Grnningster, Ge; and Jenkins, Peter Erik.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: A sensor system for monitoring elongation or bending of an elongate element such as a rope comprises at least two supports that are attachable to the element at respective positions spaced along the element. At least one of the supports carries an emitter for emitting a signal and at least one of the supports carries a receiver for receiving the signal. The emitter and the receiver are offset laterally from the element on a signal transmission path that extends along and beside the element. A processor is configured to determine the distance between the supports by measuring time of flight of the signal from the emitter to the receiver along the signal transmission path.
