Disposable Chemical Sensor and Wireless Communication Device

Abstract

A disposable sensor device for remote sensing of conditions such as temperature and dangerous gasses includes a bodydefining an enclosed chamber, a power source mounted in the chamber, an on-off switch mounted on and accessible from outside the body, a processor mounted in the chamber and powered by the power source, sensors mounted on the exterior of the body in communication with the processor and capable of detecting gasses and temperature. A transceiver, a speaker, and a microphone are mounted -in the chamber and in communication with the processor. The transceiver is adapted to receive sound signals from a remote unit and input the signals to the speaker for broadcast, and the microphone is adapted to receive sound signals from outside the body and input the received sound signals to the processor for transmittal to the remote unit.
