MachineTalker Debuts Multi-Sensor Capability
Santa Barbara CA (SPX) May 11, 2006 MachineTalker has introduced an expanded set of capabilities for its flagship MachineTalker series of networked wireless communication devices. The new product, in concert with a MachineTalker, is capable of simultaneously monitoring multiple parameters, processing and assessing data content, and taking autonomous action. The new package is capable of monitoring light, temperature, motion, sound and location based on GPS. It also contains an actuator for control of external devices. Other sensors being added include CO2 detection and detection of radio-active particles. "Last year our Company experimented with multiple sensors in NASA flight tests, by installing Talkers on-board an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or UAV. In that application, 8 sensors concerned with flight such as 3 gyros, 3 accelerometers and 2 pressure measurements were provided by NASA. This newest product contains sensors that lend themselves to terrestrial security issues," said Roland F. Bryan, MachineTalker's CEO. It is a key feature of a MachineTalker to share information with adjacent Talkers, where each can process data from its own sensors and correlate results with information from other Talkers in the area. This means that parametric assessment can be made on site and decisions made based upon real-time information. According to Bryan, "The new product is also capable of reading analog signals, although more and more sensors are coming onto the market that are controlled by digital I/O means. It is this digital commonality among different sensors that permits consolidation like that available now from MachineTalker, Inc. We plan to install these add-on products along with MachineTalkers that will be deployed inside shipping containers, thereby adding ability to monitor container environment for security of cargo in transit."
