A distributed sensor networks employing mobile sensing nodes that are carried to desired locations by attaching themselves to moving hosts and detaching themselves when the host arrives at the desired location or is moving away from the desired location. Each sensing node may carry a plurality of environmental sensors and communicates with nearby sensing nodes using a short range wireless link. The node further carries a location sensing mechanism and uses either active, passive or attractive means to attach itself to a moving host.

Airborne meteorological radars and related networks and models. In one embodiment a network for creating a meteorological model includes a mobile sensing node and a modeling node. The sensing node includes a meteorological RADAR that senses the wind velocity. Data from the meteorological RADAR regarding the wind velocity is received by a processor of the modeling node which determines a model of the wind from the wind velocity. The modeling node combines data from a second sampling node with the data from the first sampling node to create a resultant wind velocity vector. Preferably, the modeling node and the sampling node(s) communicate over an airborne WAN. Another embodiment provides a method of measuring the wind velocity. The method includes steering an RADAR signal out of the plane of travel of the mobile platform. The wind velocity is measured using a return of the RADAR signal.

Devices for cost-effectively performing in-vitro diagnostic chemical analyses at multiple distributed locations within a medical institution are disclosed. One object of this invention is to provide a network of distributed sensory devices that acquire sensor signals from blood specimens and deliver those signals through a connect on to a central location for analysis by a general-purpose computer and generation of an analysis result. The analysis result is then sent to numerous locations on a network for display, including also possibly back to the location of signal acquisition. Cost-effective mobile sensing devices are also disclosed. The present system includes blood-sensor signal acquisition devices distributed throughout the hospital. The sensory signal-acquisition devices are card readers that acquire raw sensory signals from diagnostic cards inserted therein. These diagnostic cards are smart card-like devices modified for blood collection that contain sensory elements such as electrodes adapted to provide a raw sensory signal. The signal acquisition devices are modified smart card readers, which acquire the raw sensory data from an inserted smart card through a standardized contact arrangement and provide the raw data to data processing devices such as data acquisition cards. The system includes multiple remote ports for acquiring blood sensor signals. One or more card reader, when connected to a mobile general-purpose computer, can be converted into a complete mobile blood analyzer.

In the invention, the mobile state of the cell phone is fed back or the user operating state is detected by the mobile sensing apparatus to automatically turn off the alarm clock on the cell phone or turn on the forced continuous ring to wake up the user, thereby simplifying the operation of the user and ensuring the reminding function of the alarm clock effectively, and the cell phone is more personalized in use.

The invention discloses a mobile sensing intelligent payment system which comprises a terminal identity information collection module and a background data processing center. The terminal identity information collection module and a background data processing center are used for respectively triggering a user information extraction process at proper time slots successively to extract mobile terminal identity information corresponding to passengers and finally acquiring travel path for expense calculation. Paths actually taken by the passengers are effectively judged to acquire needed expense by combining with before-later sensing on the passengers during traveling in the scheme, and the passengers do not need to swipe cards on or insert coins into conventional gate machines to determine starting stations and destination stations, so that the passengers can experience the whole journey freely and quickly. The mobile sensing intelligent payment system is also suitable for commuting among cities and monthly or annually ticket traveling and can serve as an automatic charging payment system.
