  • Publication number: 20190306593
    Abstract: A sensor node includes an acceleration sensor that measures a vibration characteristic of a monitoring target, a memory, a sensor node radio communicator that communicates with a command center, and a sensor node controller that controls the acceleration sensor, the memory, and the sensor node radio communicator. The sensor node controller sends a detection signal indicating a detection of an abnormal vibration via the sensor node radio communicator to the command center immediately after the acceleration sensor detects the abnormal vibration; after sending the detection signal, causes the acceleration sensor to newly measure the vibration characteristic of the monitoring target and stores data indicating the newly measured vibration characteristic in the memory; and in response to a stored data transfer request from the command center, transfers the stored data via the sensor node radio communicator to the command center.

  • Patent number: 6922129
    Abstract: A multilayered circuit board according to the present invention includes at least first and second stacked insulating layers. The first insulating layer has thereon a first electric conductor made of a conductive film constituting an inductor and a first electrode made of a conductive film constituting a capacitor. The second insulating layer has thereon a second electrode made of a conductive film constituting a capacitor. The first and second insulating layers are stacked such that the first and second electrodes are opposed to each other through the insulating layers. Therefore this provides a circuit board having a capacitor and an inductor through the use of the two insulating layers, thus providing an inexpensive thin circuit board with small parts count and high work-efficiency compared with the use of three insulating layers in a related art.
