A process and a system for monitoring at least one concentration of a gas in a monitored area includes generating data by a mobile gas measuring device (3a), whose position in the monitored area is determined or is known and transmitting the data directly or indirectly to a central data processing unit (1). The data are compared with at least one limit value, and an information signal is outputted by the at least one mobile gas measuring device and/or by the central data processing unit in case of an undershooting or overshooting of the limit value. The monitored area is divided into at least two zones (8) and zone-specific parameters are assigned to the zones. A functionality of the mobile gas measuring device is set and/or changed based on the current position of the gas measuring device and based on at least one of the zone-specific parameters.

A method for verifying an alarm condition in an environmental sensing system includes monitoring data received from environmental sensors; detecting anomalous data received from one of the plurality of environmental sensors; determining the context in which the anomalous data was acquired is consistent with typical usage activities; and providing an alarm condition alert when the determined context is not consistent with typical activities. A system for intelligently monitoring environmental conditions includes environmental sensors configured to monitor first and second environmental conditions and to communicate with an intelligent analysis module. The intelligent analysis module is configured with logic to determine whether anomalous data has been collected by the environmental sensors, to determine the context in which the anomalous data was collected, to determine whether the anomalous data can be attributed to a routine activity, and to provide an alarm condition if the anomalous data cannot be attributed to a routine activity.

Method, apparatus and product for utilizing stochastic controller to provide user-controlled notification rate of wearable-based events. The method comprises obtaining events issued by a module based on analysis of multiple sensor readings of one or more sensors of a wearable device. The method further comprises determining by a stochastic controller whether to provide an alert to a user based on the events and based on a user preference, wherein the user preference is indicative of a desired notification rate of the user, wherein the stochastic controller comprises a stochastic model of an environment. Based on such determination, alerts are outputted to the user.

A system for monitoring a petrochemical installation is disclosed. The system can include an optical imaging system comprising an array of optical detectors.
