Smart Transducer Integrator
STI    NEW PRODUCT
STI
  The STI is an integration framework for deploying smart sensors and/or advanced communication interfaces. Based on the customized configuration, the STI becomes either: (1) a smart sensor with advanced and customizable features or (2) a communication bridge (wired, wireless RF, or wireless ultrasound through solid barriers). The STI is “smart” because: it includes a digital core with machine-readable Transducer Electronic Data Sheets (TEDS); the control and data associated with transducers are digital; triggering, status, and control are provided to support integration of legacy or new transducers into the STI; and intelligent software functions (such as neural networks) can be included.

Autonomous Intelligent Sensor for Tracking Systems  
AISTS
AISTS_1
 The AISTS is a comprehensive smart sensor that was built to access, upload, and download data from areas that are not traditionally accessible due to metal enclosures or barriers..  This technology utilizes advanced sensing schemes that are customizable for applications that have a need to monitor, analyze, or maintain assets with such constraints. The non-intrusive AISTS has through-metal data and energy transferal capability by ultrasound, but it can also be easily setup with conventional powering and communication electronics. The device can last between charges for 1 month (active) up to 1 year (sleep) with a miniature 450 mAh rechargeable battery.

coremicro® Reconfigurable Embedded-Smart Sensor Node
CRE-SSN

This ultra low power, miniaturized (down to 1.7"x1.7"x1.1"), and multi-functional Smart Sensor provides high performance functions with robust data acquisition, IEEE 1451 software stack (standard communication protocol, fault detection awareness, and TEDS management); flexible on-board communications (I2C, UART, IrDA, SPI, and RS232); and wireless communications (Zigbee).The CRE-SSN allows sensing a single physical variable as well as variables sets by selecting the required transducer. In addition to the baseline options the CRE-SSN can be used for enhancing capabilities of available current sensors (retrofitting). This is a customizable low cost product that can be tailored for applications that require optimized power consumption, size, weight, and very specific advanced processing capabilities. A very friendly graphical user interface expedites sensor deployment and testing. Available options include vibration and general purpose transducers.
