  • Modular sensor node and communications system
    Patent number: 8700924
    Abstract: A sensor node for use in a sensor system includes a core component a sensor component and a power component. The core component includes processing and transmission/receiving components. Additionally, the core component includes interfaces for selectively connecting sensor and power components of any one of a plurality of types. In this manner, the core component enables the corresponding power and sensor components to be matched according to a particular application to generate the desired sensor node.
    Type: Grant

  • Curing foundry moulds and cores
    Patent number: 4678020
    Abstract: Foundry moulds and, more especially, cores are made by the use of a binder comprising ammonium polyacrylate and zinc oxide or a metal salt to form a complex ammonium metal polyacrylate which is mixed with the sand and after the core or mould has been formed in a warm box warm air is passed through it to drive off the ammonia and form a water-insoluble metal polyacrylate which bonds the grains of sand together. The resulting core or mould has a good shelf life combined with excellent knock-out behavior.
