Patent number: 11768188Abstract: In an embodiment, a sensor system and a method for monitoring properties of field soils and wastewater are described. In an embodiment, a sensor system comprises a cartridge system implemented in an integrated circuit. The cartridge system comprises a chemical sensor and a computer processor coupled to the chemical sensor. The chemical sensor is configured to receive a sample of a test material such as soil or wastewater. Based on the sample of the test material, the chemical sensor determines a measure of a property in the test material. The computer processor receives, from the chemical sensor, the measure of the property in the test material, and computes, based on, at least in part, the measure of the property in the test material, a concentration level of the property in the test material. Based on the concentration level of the property in the test material, the computer processor generates an output that includes the concentration level.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2019Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: CLIMATE LLCInventors: Jordan Kusiek, Andreas Wenzel, Calden Nathaniel Carroll Stimpson
