Information is received about a network of vehicles comprising location and emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx, a pollutant). For each vehicle, a travel path, and emission along that path, is predicted. The location and an indication of the emission is displayed on a digital map 102, and also the predicted path and predicted emission. A route may be generated to minimise exposure to emission, so that the air is cleaner on that route. The real-time location and NOx emission information, and the predicted information, may be presented as separate layers on the digital map, or as a single layer. The emission information may be colour-coded. The method may be used as part of a navigational system. The location and emission information may be received directly from each vehicle in the network (e.g. through V2V or DSRC), or via a database. The vehicles may measure emissions using onboard sensors 106.

Номер: US20210239670A1
Принадлежит:

An occupant installed air monitoring system for monitoring indoor air quality comprises one or more air-quality sensors. The sensors are installed by an occupant following instructions provided by the air monitoring system. The effectiveness of the installation is improved when the sensor arrangement is changed by the occupant following further instructions that the air monitoring system generates based on sensor readings. The effectiveness is further improved when the air monitoring system receives information about occupant activities that affect air quality. Gamification techniques are used to achieve enhanced occupant participation and compliance.

METHOD FOR MAPPING THE CONCENTRATION OF AN ANALYTE IN AN ENVIRONMENT

Номер: US20200025738A1
Автор: Franck Lascaux
Принадлежит: ELICHENS

A method for estimating a mapping of the concentration of an analyte in an environment uses sensors distributed in the environment. Each sensor generates a measurement of the analyte concentration at various measurement instants, which measurements are carried out by each sensor at each measurement instant, forming an observation vector, each term of which corresponds to a measurement arising from a sensor. The environment is spatially meshed with a plurality of mesh cells. The analyte concentration at each mesh cell, at each measurement instant, forms a “state vector,” each term of which corresponds to an analyte concentration in a mesh cell. A “global bias” is determined and used to correct the state vector to obtain a “debiased state vector.” The state vector is also corrected by a local correction vector as a function of a correction vector.

An adaptive method and system for monitoring a shipping container for an environmental anomaly uses sensor-based ID nodes within the container and a command node. Sensors on each ID node generate sensor data about an environmental condition proximate the ID node as disposed within the container. Each ID node periodically broadcasts the sensor data. The command node monitors a first group of sensor data from the ID nodes over a first time period to detect an initial environmental threshold condition related to the container, then monitors a subsequent group of sensor data over a second time period under a modified monitoring parameter to detect a secondary environmental threshold condition related to the container as the anomaly. In response to detecting the secondary condition, the command node generates an alert notification and transmits the alert notification to an external transceiver to initiate a mediation response related to the anomaly. 124-.

A portable handheld wireless breath alcohol monitoring device (RBAM) utilizes facial recognition from an enrollment image or gallery of images accumulated over time, and automatic retesting if an initial test is positive for alcohol or of an initial facial match is negative. A location fix is captured with each breath test taken by an offender. After each breath test, the breath alcohol content (BrAC), date and time of the breath test, facial image data, and location fix are uploaded through a built-in cellular phone module in the RBAM to a monitoring station. The monitoring station evaluates each breath test and determines if immediate notification to a supervising agency is needed. If so, an email, text message, or page is sent to the supervising agency. RBAM enables the monitoring of lower-risk offenders or offenders who have earned the privilege of a less intrusive alcohol testing and monitoring program.
