Classification: CPC F  B | IPC B  F

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a magnet configured to move in response to a movement of a wear pin indicator of a brake assembly of a vehicle;
a rotational element configured to rotate in response to the movement of the wear pin indicator, wherein the magnet is attached to the rotational element and configured to rotate in response to the movement of the wear pin indicator, wherein the rotational element comprises a gear comprising a first set of teeth that form a first set of grooves, wherein the wear pin indicator includes an elongate member comprising a second set of teeth that form a second set of grooves, and wherein the first set of teeth are configured to engage with the second set of teeth such that a linear movement of the wear pin indicator relative to the rotational element causes the rotational element to rotate about an axis of rotation;
a sensor configured to generate position data based on an angle of the magnet relative to the sensor, the position data indicating a relative linear position of the wear pin indicator, wherein the position data corresponds to an estimated remaining useful lifespan of the brake assembly; and
an energy harvesting device configured to generate an electrical signal based on an operation of one or both of the brake assembly and the vehicle, wherein the energy harvesting device is configured to deliver at least a portion of the electrical signal to the sensor.
