Abstract
Tool bodies, tools and machines for operating the tool include electronic circuits for providing data, collecting data, analyzing data and for controlling machines based on such data. Tool bodies and tools may include electronic circuits having data collecting sensors, which may be embedded in a housing with the electronic circuit and/or positioned outside of such a housing. Sensors include temperature sensors, motion sensors, strain sensors, moisture sensors, electrical resistance sensors, position sensors, antennas, and other components.
Claims27
A tool assembly for working on a concrete surface, wherein the tool assembly includes a perimeter and a mounting portion, means on the mounting portion for removably mounting the tool to a machine shaft to be used to operate the tool assembly, and a tool microchip package supported by the tool assembly having at least one sensor associated with the microchip package for sensing a parameter associated with the tool assembly, a data transmission circuit in the microchip package configured to transmit to a device remote from the microchip package data associated with the parameter, and wherein the tool assembly further includes at least one releasable section having a further microchip package supported by the at least one releasable section.
