Block made of a building material

摘要

A building structure includes a block of building material and a magnetic circuit buried in the block of building material. The structure also includes a plurality of sensing devices buried in the block of building material. Each sensing device may include a contactless power supplying circuit magnetically coupled with the magnetic circuit to generate a supply voltage when the magnetic circuit is subject to a variable magnetic field.

主权项

1. A block of building material comprising:
an inner portion and a cover portion enclosing said inner portion; a magnetic circuit, at least partially buried in said inner portion comprising a material adapted to convey a variable magnetic field induced therethrough, said magnetic circuit comprising a plurality of steel bars buried in said inner portion and being joined together; and a plurality of sensing devices for at least one physical characteristic of the building material, each sensing device buried in said inner portion and comprising a contactless power supplying circuit configured to be magnetically coupled with said magnetic circuit and to generate by induction a supply voltage when said magnetic circuit is subject to the variable magnetic field.
