Abstract
A control unit can comprise a housing and circuitry disposed within the housing. The circuitry can comprise a communications module, a memory, and a processor in communication with the memory and the communications module. A power source can be disposed within the housing. An input port that is configured to mate with a complementary output of a sensor unit that is external to the housing. The input port can be in communication with the circuitry. The input port can be configured to interface with the sensor unit.

A sensing apparatus comprising:
- a first sensor assembly;
- and
- a second sensor assembly,
- wherein each sensor assembly of the first and second sensor assemblies comprises:
- a sensor unit;
- and
- a control unit having:
- a housing;
- circuitry disposed within the housing, the circuitry comprising:
- a communications module;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory and the communications module;
- a power source disposed within the housing;
- and
- an input port that is configured to mate with a complementary output of the sensor unit that is external to the housing,
