Abstract
A system for collecting information through a plant includes a first remote detecting device attached to a first portion of the plant and configured to transmit a given signal directly through the plant; the plant, which constitutes a communication channel; a second remote detecting device attached to a second portion of the plant, which is different from the first portion, and configured to receive a signal indicative of the transmitted given signal; and a sink node that communicates with the second remote detecting device.
Claims20
A system for collecting information through a plant, the system comprising:
- a first remote detecting device attached to a first portion of the plant and configured to transmit a given signal directly through the plant;
- the plant, which constitutes a communication channel;
- a second remote detecting device attached to a second portion of the plant, which is different from the first portion, and configured to receive a signal indicative of the transmitted given signal;
- and
- a sink node that communicates with the second remote detecting device.
A system for determining a health of plant, the system comprising:
- plural transmitters attached to various first portions of the plant and each configured to transmit a given signal directly through the plant;
- the plant, which constitutes plural communication channels;
- a receiver attached to a second portion of the plant, which is different from the first portions, and configured to receive corresponding signals indicative of the transmitted given signals;
- a processing device that communicates with the receiver and processes the corresponding signals to generate a health report of the plant;
- and
- a display that displays the health report of the plant.
A method for determining a health of a plant, the method comprising:
- sending into the plant plural given signals from plural transmitters attached to various first portions of the plant;
- receiving at a receiver, attached to a second portion of the plant, which is different from the first portions, corresponding signals indicative of the transmitted given signals;
- transferring to a processing device, which communicates with the receiver, the corresponding signals;
- processing at the processing device the corresponding signals to generate a health report of the plant;
- and
- displaying on a display the health report of the plant.
