A sensor system that provides an adjustable threshold level for the sensed quantity is described. The adjustable threshold allows the sensor to adjust to ambient conditions, aging of components, and other operational variations while still providing a relatively sensitive detection capability for hazardous conditions. The adjustable threshold sensor can operate for extended periods without maintenance or recalibration. In one embodiment, the sensor is self-calibrating and runs through a calibration sequence at startup or at periodic intervals. In one embodiment, the adjustable threshold sensor is used in an intelligent sensor system that includes one or more intelligent sensor units and a base unit that can communicate with the sensor units. When one or more of the sensor units detects an anomalous condition (e.g., smoke, fire, water, etc.) the sensor unit communicates with the base unit and provides data regarding the anomalous condition. The base unit can contact a supervisor or other responsible person by a plurality of techniques, such as, telephone, pager, cellular telephone, Internet (and / or local area network), etc. In one embodiment, one or more wireless repeaters are used between the sensor units and the base unit to extend the range of the system and to allow the base unit to communicate with a larger number of sensors.

Chromatographic strip is used in combination with a transmittance detecting system in a test to quantitate analytes in biological fluid. Chemical reagents or conjugate labels are simply absorbed on the passages' materials of the strip. The substrates, affinity reagents, or antibodies are immobilized on transparent beads in the detection cell of the strip. The biological fluid passes through the strip. The captured analytes are detected by transmittance detection for quantification. Uncaptured elements and interferences in the fluid are drained to the absorbent portion of the strip when the fluid passes the cell as a wash. This chromatographic strip with an analyte capture zone simplifies the procedures that a transmittance detecting system alone cannot overcome. Adjustable light path of the cells in the strip overcome the sensitivity limitation of reflectance detection.

A moisture sensor system is described. In one embodiment, the provides an adjustable threshold level for the sensed moisture level. The adjustable threshold allows the moisture sensor to adjust to ambient conditions, aging of components, and other operational variations while still providing a relatively sensitive detection capability. In one embodiment, the adjustable threshold moisture sensor is used in an intelligent sensor system that includes one or more intelligent sensor units and a base unit that can communicate with the moisture sensor units. When one or more of the moisture sensor units detects a excess moisture the moisture sensor unit communicates with the base unit and provides data regarding the moisture condition. The base unit can contact a supervisor or other responsible person by a plurality of techniques, such as, telephone, pager, cellular telephone, Internet (and / or local area network), etc. In one embodiment, one or more wireless repeaters are used between the moisture sensor units and the base unit to extend the range of the system and to allow the base unit to communicate with a larger number of sensors.

The invention relates to a moving race detection bearing, comprising an outer race, an inner race and a plurality of balls; the outer race is a fixed race; the inner race is a moving race; a rotary shaft is connected in the inner race; the rotary shaft is provided with a sensor device to detect vibration and temperature of the inner race. The moving race detection bearing has the advantages that traditional fixed race detection is modified into existing moving race detection, the temperature and vibration of the bearing can be detected more sensitively, and the response speed is higher; operating state of the bearing can be detected and monitored online in real time, and the operating state can be controlled in real time.
