The sensor system is able to be alternatively operated in at least in an active mode, and in a sleep mode. The circuit system is configured in such a way that the memory content of the configuration data memory is independent of the respective operating mode of the sensor system, so that the stored configuration data are maintained in a sleep mode, and the sensor system is configured in such a way that the at least one part that is switched to a currentless state in the sleep mode is reconfigured on the basis of the stored configuration data when a change to an active mode is initiated.

An electronic system for monitoring a physical parameter includes an ADM comprising an accumulation mode sensor for measuring the physical parameter by generating electrical energy associated with the physical parameter in response to a surrounding condition, and an energy storing device coupled to the accumulation mode sensor for accumulatively storing the generated electrical energy; a power source; and an SoC coupling with the ADM and the power source, configured such that the stored electrical energy is monitored, and when the stored electrical energy is equal to or greater than a pre-defined threshold, a wake-up event is generated to trigger the SoC to operates in a run mode in which the physical parameter is wirelessly transmitted to a receiver and the stored electrical energy in the energy storing device is discharged, and then the SoC returns to a sleep mode in which a minimal power is consumed.

The application describes a master/slave communication system, in particular a PSI5 communication system, including at least one slave participant, at least one master participant, and a communication connection between the slave participant and the master participant. In this case, the slave participant is supplied by the master participant with a supply voltage between a lower voltage threshold and an upper voltage threshold via the communication connection in a normal operating mode. The master/slave communication system has, in addition to the normal operating mode, a standby operating mode at its disposal in which the master participant supplies the slave participant with a standby voltage below the lower voltage threshold via the communication connection.

Systems and methods are provided for a distributed mufti-sensor witness integrity sensing platform (WISP) approach which allows for positioning of sensors in an enclosed space. In particular, a WISP platform is divided into two modules, with a base module is connected to multiple edge sensor modules with a wired connection. In general, splitting up the distributed WISP system described herein allows multiple sensors to be placed in an enclosed (and generally inaccessible) location. The senor data can be transmitted from the multiple edge sensor modules via a connection to the base module. Additionally, the use of the two module system as provided herein allows the sensors to be positioned meters away from the first module.

Dosimeters with wireless communications capability, upon actuation, communicate with a cell phone or other data capture and relay device (DCRD) with an application that allows communication with the dosimeters. The cell phone or other DCRD is a single device or part of an ad hoc network. The cell phone or other DCRD, once it receives raw data from a dosimeter, relays the data to a central station using mobile telephone or Wi-Fi or other communications networks. The data is processed at the central station, and available over the internet or cell phone.

Wireless signals may encounter interference, and features herein include features for identifying and handling such interference. Signals from various wireless communication devices may be received, and it may be determined that an interfering device is interfering with at least one of the wireless communication devices. Actions, such as remedial actions, may be taken accordingly.

A structure sensor device monitors physical properties within a body of concrete, rock, soil or other structure. The structure sensor device can be embedded inside the body of the structure in use. The structure sensor device includes: a sealed housing; sensors for measuring physical properties within the body of structure, such as a temperature sensor and a moisture sensor; and a wireless transceiver for wirelessly communicating with a gateway device located outside of the body of structure. The wireless transceiver is configured for wirelessly communicating at frequencies of less than 1 GHz. There is a controller configured to obtain sensor data from the sensors, generate monitoring data using at least some of the sensor data, and cause the monitoring data to be transmitted to the gateway device using the wireless transceiver, at predetermined intervals.

A controlled apparatus periodically transmits state information indicating the state of the apparatus, and when the state has been changed, transmits state information indicating the state after the change. Upon receiving state information from the controlled apparatus, a control apparatus, when not requesting a change of state in the controlled apparatus, returns the state information to the controlled apparatus, and when requesting a change of the state in the controlled apparatus, changes state parameters in the state information that correspond to the state to be changed to required values and transmits the state information after the change to the controlled apparatus as a control command. The controlled apparatus, upon receiving the control command from the control apparatus, changes to a state in accordance with the state parameters that follow the change and transmits the state information indicating the state after the change to the control apparatus.
