Abstract
A system for measuring chemical concentrations and other attributes or conditions of the various forms of matter (solid, liquid or gas) in an environment. The system finds particular application for industrial processes and procedures whereby real-time, quasi-real-time or sampling chemicals of matter, or factors or conditions in an environment could help operations become more efficient, effective and sustainable.
Claims20
A system for detecting, measuring or monitoring one or more chemicals or attributes or characteristics in an environment comprising:
- a system for chemical detection operative to generate data indicative of the one or more chemicals or attributes or characteristics in the environment and communicate the data to a transmitter or receiver;
- wherein the system for chemical detection includes at least one of a detector component, a mixer, an induction device or component, a reference matter, a diluent matter, a reservoir, a measurement hardware, communication circuitry, a factor control or a power source operatively coupled to at least one of the detector component, factor control, measurement hardware, active induction device or component or communication circuitry for supplying power thereto, and wherein the communication circuitry is configured to transmit data to a transmitter or receiver;
- wherein the transmitter includes at least one of an inlet, purge, factor control, measurement hardware, power source, induction device or component or communication circuitry, and wherein the communication circuitry is configured to transmit data to a receiver;
- wherein the receiver includes at least one of a processor, a memory, a power source or communication circuitry.
A device for detecting, measuring or monitoring one or more chemicals or attributes or conditions in an environment comprising:
- a detector component, at least one factor control, communication circuitry and a power source operatively coupled to the detector component, at least one factor control, and the communication circuitry for supplying power thereto, and wherein the communication circuitry is configured to transmit data to an associated receiver, and wherein at least one of the detector component, at least one factor control, communication circuitry or power source is part of a removable/replaceable module.
A method for detecting or measuring or monitoring chemicals or other factors or conditions in matter comprising:
- providing at least one sensor having a detector component operative to generate data in response to the presence or absence of one or more chemicals or other attributes, at least one factor control, communication circuitry and a power source operatively coupled to the detector component, factor control and the communication circuitry for supplying power thereto, the communication circuitry configured to transmit data generated by the detector component corresponding to one or more chemical concentrations or other factors or conditions to an associated receiver;
- associating each sensor with a location within an area to be measured or monitored;
- measuring or monitoring each location with its associated sensor over a period of time;
- and
- transmitting data generated by each sensor to a receiver.
