Abstract
A wireless sensor measures properties of a substance and transmits the properties to a remote wireless receiver. The wireless sensor can be fully enclosed within a container containing the substance, allowing remote monitoring of the properties of the substance without compromising integrity of a closed system.
Claims24
A method for heating and agitating a liquid in a container, comprising:
- positioning the container on a heating device, wherein the heating device comprises a heating element and a wireless receiver;
- positioning a submersible device in the liquid, wherein the submersible device comprises a first temperature measurement element and a wireless transmitter, and wherein the wireless transmitter is in communication with the wireless receiver, and wherein the wireless receiver is between the heating element and the submersible device;
- measuring a liquid temperature of the liquid with the first temperature measurement element;
- communicating the liquid temperature from the first temperature measurement element to a heating element controller;
- heating the liquid, wherein heating the liquid comprises activating the heating element by the heating element controller based on the liquid temperature communicated to the heating element controller;
- and
- agitating the liquid, wherein the submersible device comprises a first magnet, and wherein the heating device comprises a magnetic field creator, and wherein the magnetic field creator creates and alters a magnetic field exerting a magnetic force on the first magnet, and wherein the agitating the liquid comprises moving the submersible device in the liquid with the magnetic force on the first magnet.
