A data system for tracking use of a work tool attachment that may be interchangeably attached to a machine includes a data transmission device located on the work tool attachment and an electronic machine controller that may be located on the machine. When an event occurs with respect to the work tool attachment, the data system collects a first tool data set from the data transmission device and a first set of machine data associated with the machine. When another event occurs with respect to the work tool attachment, the data system collects a second tool data set from the data transmission device and a second set of machine data. The first and second tool data sets and the first and second sets of machine data may be entered in one or more data logs for analytics.

Disclosed are techniques to provide data at listening event offsets, using a buffering scheme having a common buffer. Received data, to be transmitted at the listening event offsets, is stored into the common buffer without classification to listening event offsets. Data to be transmitted at an upcoming listening event offset is identified in the common buffer prior to the listening event offset. Example techniques provide for simpler reconfigurability of listening events offsets, as well as transmitting data at each listening event offset that is responsive to a state of the system prior to the listening event offset.

A system and method are described for predicting road friction using data from a fleet of connected vehicles. Each fleet vehicle includes a communication arrangement for reporting, to a back end system, floating car data sets, including a position of the vehicle, time data and data regarding determined road friction influencing parameters and a determined road friction associated with that position. The data sets are collected and aggregated in a central database, over a predetermined time period. A neural network computer is trained and validated, using aggregated data sets, to create a model to predict future road friction for a specific road network position or segment associated with that specific position. Once trained and validated, the neural network computer, upon receiving the same type of new, up to date, input data, uses the model to predict future road friction for that specific position or segment of the road network.

A system for energy metering with temperature monitoring.

A system for measuring temperature in a sterilization autoclave includes a temperature transducer positionable inside a sterilization chamber of the autoclave and a receiver positionable outside the sterilization chamber. The receiver includes a reception antenna and a receiving electronic circuit connectable with a process controller of the autoclave. The receiving electronic circuit is configured to receive a temperature signal through the reception antenna, provide a control signal as a function of the temperature signal and transmit the control signal to the process controller. The temperature transducer includes a hermetically closable transducer housing, temperature probes, a transmission antenna, an electronic transduction circuit, a primary battery and an activation device.

This disclosure describes methods and apparatus for hygiene monitoring in chain restaurants and grocery superstores. Four sub-systems are introduced to take care of different aspects of hygiene in restaurants. One sub-system uses contactless and in-contact temperature sensors installed on appliances to constantly monitor the temperature of working appliances to be in pre-defined range and use an Internet of Things gateways to transmit the data to remote control unit. The system generate an alert or report if the temperature of the appliances falls beyond the predefined range for more than a specific period of time. Another sub-system use a combination of temperature, humidity, UV and gas detectors to monitor the environment to be unsuitable for growth of fungus and bacteria and alert in case of exposure to harmful material and sun radiation. This sub-system also use an Internet of Things gateways to transmit the data to remote control unit. The third sub-system use a combination of radio frequency tags attached to the staff, RF tag readers and infrared/proximity/motion/microphone/touch sensors installed over the faucet and dispenser to monitor if the staff wash their hands properly after going to the restroom. The forth sub-system automatically generate food expiring label for opened cans and food container based on RF tag worn by the staff. The system generate and print the label whenever the staff gesture their RF tags in front of them and potentially scan the container bar code or select it from a drop-down menu on its touch screen. The last sub-system can also monitor the inventory of opened cans of food in the refrigerator and provide a report or alert when they the time gets close to expiration date.

The disclosed technology is generally directed to communications in an IoT environment. For example, such technology is usable in IoT communications. In one example of the technology, one or more types of telemetry data to be collected from a first IoT device is determined. A send frequency corresponding to at least one of the one or more types of telemetry data to be collected from the first IoT device is determined. A first automatic configuration to a configurable device is sent. The configurable device is at least one of the first IoT device or an intermediary device in communication with the first IoT device, such that, upon execution of the first automatic configuration, the configurable device automatically sends telemetry data of the determined one or more types of telemetry data to the IoT solution service at the determined send frequency.

A gas meter according to the present invention includes flow rate measuring part that measures a flow rate of gas flowing through flow passage, shutoff valve that shuts off flow passage, wireless communicator that periodically performs wireless communication externally, and communication interval setting part that sets a communication interval in wireless communication. Communication interval setting part sets the communication interval according to the flow rate of gas measured by flow rate measuring part. By changing a setting of the communication interval according to the flow rate measured by flow rate measuring part, it is possible to enhance a responsiveness required according to the flow rate of gas measured by flow rate measuring part while a minimum necessary communication frequency is maintained. Accordingly, the power saving can be achieved and also convenience can be maintained.

Embodiments of Power Over Ethernet sensors providing processed signals directly to User devices or via a sensor processing system. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

An adaptive method and system for monitoring a shipping container for an environmental anomaly uses sensor-based ID nodes within the container and a command node. Sensors on each ID node generate sensor data about an environmental condition proximate the ID node as disposed within the container. Each ID node periodically broadcasts the sensor data. The command node monitors a first group of sensor data from the ID nodes over a first time period to detect an initial environmental threshold condition related to the container, then monitors a subsequent group of sensor data over a second time period under a modified monitoring parameter to detect a secondary environmental threshold condition related to the container as the anomaly. In response to detecting the secondary condition, the command node generates an alert notification and transmits the alert notification to an external transceiver to initiate a mediation response related to the anomaly.
