Abstract:
A sensor assembly is provided for a fingerboard latch assembly that comprises: a latch bracket; bolts for mounting the latch bracket to a fingerboard; a latch; and a bracket pin rotatably supporting the latch on the latch bracket to allow rotation of the latch between an open position and a closed position. The sensor assembly has a mounting arrangement that mounts to the bolts, holding a closed-position proximity sensor probe facing downwardly for sensing proximity of a crank portion of the latch and/or the piston head in the closed position, and also holding an open-position proximity sensor probe facing forwardly for sensing proximity of an arm of the latch in the open position.

Claim (Index 37):
A method of sensing a fingerboard latch assembly that comprises a latch, the method comprising:\n sensing the position of the latch with a sensor and deriving a signal representing the position of the latch; and in a processor, determining at least one parameter of the motion of the latch from the signal representing the position of the latch, said at least one parameter including at least one of speed of the latch, acceleration of the latch, overshoot of the latch or vibration of the latch, and analyzing the determined parameter of the motion of the latch and on the basis thereof predicting failure of the latch.
