Sensor probe and related systems and methods |
| 摘要 |
The invention provides a sensor probe which has: one or more microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors configured to sense one or more parameters and a communication bus in electrical communication therewith. The one or more sensors and communication bus are disposed on a substrate. The sensor probe includes a digital storage module in which a unique probe identifier is stored and which is in electrical communication with the communication bus. The probe includes, a cable, a first end of which is in electrical communication with the communication bus and a second end of which is in electrical communication with a remote monitoring unit. The cable is configured to provide electrical power received from the remote monitoring unit to the one or more sensors, via the communication bus, and to communicate data received from the one or more sensors, via the communication bus, to the remote monitoring unit. |

1. A sensor probe comprising:
a substrate; a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor disposed on the substrate and configured to sense a parameter and detect a change in the parameter; a communication bus disposed on the substrate and in electrical communication with the MEMS sensor, and including a clock line, a data line, a power line, a ground line, and an interrupt line; a digital storage module in which a unique probe identifier is stored, the digital storage module being in electrical communication with the communication bus; and, a cable, a first end of which is in electrical communication with the communication bus and a second end of which is in electrical communication with a remote monitoring unit, and thus extends the communication bus to the remote monitoring unit, wherein the sensor probe: (i) receives electrical power from the remote monitoring unit via the power line; and (ii) in response to the MEMS sensor detecting the change in the parameter, transmits an interrupt to the remote monitoring unit via the interrupt line; and (iii) communicates data from the sensor to the remote monitoring unit via the data line. |
