Historical MicroSAFE is a miniature Smart Sensor that measures and processes strain data using the ASTM Rainflow Cycle Counting Algorithm. The result of this algorithm is a histogram showing the number of deflections at different stress levels. Over 1 year of processed data can be stored internally in non-volatile memory. The standard battery (not pictured) allows for…

Historical The MicroSGU is a small, battery-powered, wirelessly programmable, strain gauge data recorder. Each unit was designed to “sleep” in a low-power consumption mode until a certain time set by the user at which time the unit will then enter into a circular buffered data trigger mode sampling at 250 Hz using programmable trigger threshold…

Historical The MicroTAU system is a network of small, battery powered, wirelessly programmable, tri-axial acceleration data recorders. Each unit was designed to “sleep” in a low power consumption mode until a certain time set by the user where it will then enter into a circular buffered data trigger mode sampling at 250 Hz using programmable…

Historical MicroWIS-CO2 is a wireless data acquisition system for near-static sensing and recordingapplications. The system was developed for NASA to provide wireless carbon dioxide measurements inside NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Operations), an undersea astronaut training facility. It was also developed for possible use in the International Space Station (ISS) for monitoring carbon dioxide concentrations throughout the…

Historical The MicroRecorder is a data acquisition unit that measures and stores data that can be later downloaded to a PC. Over one month of data (at one sample per minute) can be recorded on internal non-volatile memory. Each unit has one external input channel from a resistive sensor and an internal temperature channel. The…

Historical This project concentrated on the miniaturization of wireless instrumentation system technology.  The development effort included the conceptual design, fabrication, and demonstration of a battery-powered, miniature wireless temperature sensor. The prototype device provided reliable data over the entire industrial temperature range (-40°C to -85°C) while consuming only tens of microamps in the active data acquisition…

Historical Invocon has teamed with NASA and Sandia National Labs to develop an ultra low power Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio based on a programmable Surface Acoustic Wave (PSAW) correlator. The PSAW will perform the primary function of the digital signal processor, down converter, demodulator, and baseband processor in a conventional (DSSS) receiver, but…

Historical NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) sponsored Invocon’s development of “next generation” data acquisition and communications networking concepts to be deployed in, on, and around space structures under construction. The network required maximum efficiency to route low-speed digital data, high-speed digital data, and video data. All data transmission and reception at all three levels had…

Historical Invocon co-developed a system to inspect the internal and external physical condition of subsurface pipe used for natural gas distribution. Designed to measure the wall thickness of the pipe, the system formulated a tomogram image of the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Whenever a leak is excavated for repair, the system would be able…
