Automated network of sensor units for real-time monitoring of compounds in a fluid over a distributed area

摘要: A plurality of sensor units are distributed over an area and communicate via a network with central monitoring unit. The include arrays that provide them raw data in response to the presence selected compounds ambient fluid. is then processed compute local profile, which (a) illustrates change fluid from their normal state (change detection) , (b) indicates total concentration foreign (presence detection), or (c) details composition concentrations defined classes individual species (composition detection). profiles used spatial temporal map for This can be variety purposes including tracking predicting flow through area, identifying source abatement, controlling industrial processes.
