Abstract: A new innovative way for connecting multiple thermal imaging sensors to a base unit while only using one port of the base unit when connected to such a base unit; this by using a daisy chained connection between the sensors themselves. The thermal imaging sensor(s) connect to each other using a wired connectivity with or without being connected directly or indirectly to a base unit. The thermal imaging sensor in this invention is not a single standalone unit but consists of at least 2 physical different devices that are connected to each other using a wired connection.

Abstract: The Wireless-Node-Hub invention is a dual device invention for enabling wired sensor platforms to become wireless without the need of changing the sensors or the base unit(s) to which they are connected; but rather rely on modules which plug into the sensors and base units which enable the normally wired communication to become now wireless.

The cellular alerting add-on device generally includes one or more cellular alerting sensors that are connected in a wired or wireless way with the base unit. The sensors can perform wireless communications like sending out SMS alerts, email alerts, SNMP traps and other communications like, but not limited to, IoT communications.

Abstract: A method to have a fast, contactless & re-usable sensor to detect the presence of hydrocarbons on surfaces by analyzing the reflected light of the sensor. The invention generally is a sensor device which includes a light emitting source, a reflective light spectrum analyzer which is able to detect the specificity of the reflectivity of hydrocarbons on surfaces.

Abstract: A non-intrusive power quality sensor for to provide a simple solution for monitoring the quality of the power behind the meter. 80% of the quality issues happen behind the meter. Current power quality monitoring solutions are intrusive: they require the intervention of an electrical qualified person. The non-intrusive power quality sensor generally includes a device that can be plugged into a regular power outlet and acts as a power quality sensor.

Abstract: An ADDON for a networked sensor solution that provides a new innovative way for enabling the integration with legacy industrial control systems by connecting the ADDON in the same way as a sensor is connected to the base unit; wired or wireless; direct or indirect. The ADDON makes the data from the sensors directly available to ICS without having to connect to a network first, through industrial wired protocols such as but not limited to, Modbus RTU and BACnet MSTP.

Abstract: A thermal infrared sensor with a mount so that it can be fixed onto infrared windows to provide a solution for performing continuous thermal monitoring of equipment that is provisioned with one or more infrared windows. The IR mount can be made out of any material or combination thereof. The mount can be attached in any possible form to the Infrared window or enclosure surrounding the Infrared window. The mount can fully or partially cover the Infrared window to be monitored. Depending on its implementation it could also fully or partially cover more than just one infrared window. The mount can be a mount made specifically for one or more types of Infrared windows or a generic mount. It could be an existing mount that could be used in such a way that when combined with the second element it enables the presented invention.

Abstract: A Thermal Imaging Sensor for providing a new innovative way for monitoring temperature in critical facilities. The thermal imaging sensor(s) connect to base units using wired or wireless connectivity. The thermal image data is transformed into numeric temperature data either by the sensor or the base unit. This image into numeric temperature data conversion allows for thermal data integration with monitoring, management and or automation applications using SNMP, Modbus, Bacnet, XML, JSON, HTTP, Serial over IP, any other IP based protocol or serial protocol so that the sensor can be used by monitoring and/or automation systems. With the present invention, a thermal imaging sensor is automatically recognized by applications as any other temperature sensor while having all the benefits from thermal imaging compared to traditional temperature sensors. It also connects to a base unit like any other regular sensor. The thermal imaging sensor in the present invention is not a standalone unit.
