Wireless Sensor Systems And Methods, And Methods Of Monitoring Structures
US Patent:
7180404, Feb 20, 2007
Filed:
Mar 17, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/803517

Assignee:
Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC - Idaho Falls ID
International Classification:
G08D 23/00
US Classification:
340 1041, 340505, 34053926, 73786
Abstract:
A wireless sensor system includes a passive sensor apparatus configured to be embedded within a concrete structure to monitor infiltration of contaminants into the structure. The sensor apparatus includes charging circuitry and a plurality of sensors respectively configured to measure environmental parameters of the structure which include information related to the infiltration of contaminants into the structure. A reader apparatus is communicatively coupled to the sensor apparatus, the reader apparatus being configured to provide power to the charging circuitry during measurements of the environmental parameters by the sensors. The reader apparatus is configured to independently interrogate individual ones of the sensors to obtain information measured by the individual sensors. The reader apparatus is configured to generate an induction field to energize the sensor apparatus. Information measured by the sensor apparatus is transmitted to the reader apparatus via a response signal that is superimposed on a return induction field generated by the sensor apparatus.
Systems And Methods For Measuring A Parameter Of A Landfill Including A Barrier Cap And Wireless Sensor Systems And Methods
US Patent:
7187299, Mar 6, 2007
Filed:
Oct 26, 2004

International Classification:
G08C 19/06
US Classification:
34087005, 4051295, 3405391, 34053922, 34087006
Abstract:
A method of measuring a parameter of a landfill including a cap, without passing wires through the cap, includes burying a sensor apparatus in the landfill prior to closing the landfill with the cap; providing a reader capable of communicating with the sensor apparatus via radio frequency (RF); placing an antenna above the barrier, spaced apart from the sensor apparatus; coupling the antenna to the reader either before or after placing the antenna above the barrier; providing power to the sensor apparatus, via the antenna, by generating a field using the reader; accumulating and storing power in the sensor apparatus; sensing a parameter of the landfill using the sensor apparatus while using power; and transmitting the sensed parameter to the reader via a wireless response signal. A system for measuring a parameter of a landfill is also provided.
