  • Patent number: 9970842
    Abstract: A high sensitivity structural health monitoring network includes a plurality of sensor nodes disposed apart from each other and communicating through one or more sensor channels. The nodes include smart sensor circuit boards with an interface to a wireless smart sensor board platform, a multi-axis accelerometer having a measurement range and resolution set to provide sensitivity to measure ambient structural vibrations an analog to digital converter for converting signals that includes a plurality of individual channels being individually programmable for signal conditioning for providing data to the interface. A network framework provides network services including a time synchronization service with network-wide global timestamps for sensor data and a unified sensing service that supports collection of data for all sensor channels from all nodes together with a single set of associated time stamps.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160209260
    Abstract: Devices, methods and systems for wave and water level measurement using a single DC (direct current)-coupled CW (continuous wave) Doppler radar for detecting water elevation changes in time when installed up to several meters from the water surface. The radar is wireless and can stream continuous data to a local PC (personal computer) or base station in range of its radio. The radar can sample up to 40 Hz and can run on batteries for continuous sampling. The radars can include multiple radar configurations of 1, 2 and 4 radar configurations. Applications for this radar can include the measurement of beach run-up, free surface elevation in tidal zones, and storm surge elevations near bridges and critical infrastructure during storm events.

  • Patent number: 9086430
    Abstract: A smart sensor circuit board comprises an interface to a wireless smart sensor board platform, a multi-axis accelerometer having a measurement range and resolution set to provide sensitivity to measure ambient structural vibrations resulting from non-catastrophic routine environmental factors, an analog to digital converter (ADC) for converting signals from the multi-axis accelerometer having a plurality of individual channels including oversampling, filtering, and decimation, and each channel being individually programmable for gain, anti-aliasing, cut-off frequency, sampling, and frequency providing data to the interface, and a low noise and high sensitivity amplifier having the plurality of individual channels to receive signals from the multi-axis accelerometer.
