摘要： A sensor system that provides an adjustable threshold level for the sensed quantity is described. The adjustable threshold allows the sensor to adjust to ambient conditions, aging of components, and other operational variations while still providing a relatively sensitive detection capability for hazardous conditions. The adjustable threshold sensor can operate for extended periods without maintenance or recalibration. A portable monitoring unit working in communication with the sensor system provides immediate communication of conditions detected by the sensors. The portable monitoring unit allows building or complex management to be in communication with a sensor system at all times without requiring someone to be physically present at a monitoring site. The portable monitoring unit can be equipped with an auditory device for alerting management or a screen for displaying pertinent information regarding an occurring situation so that management can quickly identify and resolve the problem. In addition, the portable monitoring unit can also be equipped with function keys that allow the portable monitoring unit to send instructions back to the sensor system. In one embodiment, the portable monitoring unit also includes a second transceiver for communications over a short wave radio frequency, or with a cellular phone system.

摘要： A system consisting of a collection of aircraft equipped with specific chemical, radiological or particulate sensors as well as a data link radio and navigation sub system flying their normal routes. The position, sensor output and air data is periodically communicated to the ground via a data link radio and collected. The data is used to make maps or models of the spatial distribution of the sensed quantity for a particular time period. Dynamic behavior can be discerned by considering time consecutive models. Predictions can be made using this data alone, or in conjunction with other data, and can be refined by comparisons between the prediction and subsequent spatial distribution maps.

摘要： A System and a Method of initializing and using that system are described in various embodiments all suitable for use remotely monitoring gas escapes on oil or gas well-sites, particularly as early warning technologies for use in preventing injury to workers or populations adjacent those well-sites. The system efficiently uses the Internet to securely transmit pre-processed data off-site for a range of different uses either directly to well-site operators or via a server for value-added handling of and convenient access by operators and others to information based on the data. The system conserves both IP addresses and communications bandwidth without compromising access to detailed data respecting well-site status. The novel system includes means for using multiple modes of long-distance communications technology that can be configured manually or that conveniently auto-senses and auto-selects the appropriate communications mode to use for transmitting data off-site via the Internet according to the location of installation of the system and whether or not it has entered an alarm condition.

摘要： A novel basic allergen/particulate data collection device and a novel multi-function personal air quality management device are disclosed. Both devices include sensor sub-assembly detecting and reporting on allergen/particulate data (preferably, for allergen/particulate with sizes smaller than 5 micron) for an indoor location (where the asthma patient is situated). Both devices are communication enabled to allow the allergen/particulate data to be provided to an air/asthma advice server, to generate air/asthma advice for an asthma patient, taking into consideration the allergen/particulate data as well as air quality data for a surrounding outdoor area of the indoor location. In one embodiment of the basic device, the communication interface is tailored for “harsh environment” local area networking. When combined with its streamlined functionality, the device is particularly suitable (especially in terms of economics) for multiple deployment (along with a “base station”), such as in the case of an home application. In one embodiment of the multi-function device, the communication interface is tailored for “controlled environment” wide area networking. When combined with its rich functionality, the device is particularly suitable for standalone deployment, such as in the case of a professional application. Various alterations and modifications of different embodiments are also disclosed.

摘要： The invention is directed to a method for measuring gas concentrations with a measuring head which is provided with a satellite-supported global positioning device. With the method, gas concentrations at various locations can be determined. The position of the measuring head is determined at predetermined time intervals and first position data of a previously measured first position is compared to second position data of a current position. When a predetermined limit value between the first position data and the second position data is exceeded; a measured value of gas concentration corresponding to the current position together with the second position data are stored in a data memory of the measuring head.
