摘要： A race tracking and monitoring system using satellite communications may support racing teams in remote areas, and may provide information to officials, media broadcasters, or other interested parties while minimizing the cost of communications. The system may include a race vehicle communication device, a satellite network, check point communication devices at check points along a race route, and a control. The race vehicle communication device generates outputs, including the geographical location of the race vehicle, to the satellite network, and receives inputs from the satellite network. The check point communication device generates an output to the satellite network, including data indicative of the race vehicle passing a given check point. The control receives the outputs of the race vehicle communication device and the check point communication device via the satellite and processes the outputs, and generates a control output responsive to the processing.

摘要： An inline tool tracking system for tracking an inline tool traveling along a pipe includes a detection and communication device operable to detect an inline tool as it passes generally near the device. The detection and communication device is operable to generate a detection output, which includes data indicative of the detection of the tool and a geographical location of the device. A control is operable to wirelessly receive the detection output and to process the detection output. The control generates a control output responsive to the processing, and the control output is indicative of the detection of the tool and the geographical location of the detection and communication device. A display device receives an input indicative of the control output and displays the information indicative of the detection of the tool and the geographical location of the detection and communication device to a user of the display device.
