Invocon’s event sequencer is a flight qualified solution for monitoring and initiating flight events. It includes 8 channels of open drain outputs for assertion of timed events via relays or other devices.  Each channel provides up to 3 Amps of current.  The voltage level available at the output is equal to the sequencer’s input voltage…

Historical The Enhanced Wide-Band Micro-Miniature Tri-Axial Accelerometer Unit (EWB MicroTAU) system is a wireless, high-speed, synchronized data acquisition network for dynamic acceleration sensing, recording, and processing applications. The system includes EWB MicroTAU Remote Units, a Receiver Unit, and the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The EWB MicroTAU Remote Unit is a small, battery-powered, autonomous, wireless device designed for trigger initiated…

Historical The MicroWIS-XG system is a set of miniature wireless units that asynchronously transmit data to a receiver attached to a standard RS-232 port on a PC. The remote units are capable of interfacing with any type of resistive sensor: strain, temperature, pressure, humidity, etc. The MicroWIS-XG system is an enhanced version of the original MicroWIS system…

Historical In January 2004, Invocon began a NASA SBIR Phase II contract to continue development on the WEBDAS (Wireless Ethernet-Based Data Acquisition System). The WEBDAS Phase I program produced a proof-of-concept demonstration that showed Invocon wireless sensor data being received, processed, transmitted via a wired and/or wireless LAN, stored on a central server, and displayed…

Historical Invocon, Inc. participated as subcontractor to Penn State Advanced Research Laboratory in the Advanced Capabilities Initiative (ACI) sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. The system was designed for the U.S. Navy to perform remote machinery diagnostics and prognostics in Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) applications. Invocon designed, developed and fabricated the hardware delivered in the…

Historical NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC), Johnson Space Center (JSC), and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) contracted Invocon to develop a system to perform experimental data gathering and recording of environments on and around on-orbit vehicles. The goal of ADDS was to test low power, high accuracy, low mass sensors on orbit prior to the Shuttle/Mir…

Historical NASA had a need to extend the capabilities of wireless sensing to include both pressure and acceleration monitoring. In response to this need, Invocon extended its work from MicroWIS™ into a version that addresses both pressure and acceleration entitled the Advanced MicroWIS. The Advanced MicroWIS was a multiple unit, low power, wireless pressure, and/or acceleration data…

Historical NASA Dryden Flight Research Center contracted with Invocon to develop a multi-sensor detection, automated network, radio-based, low power, relay communications system capable of monitoring in-flight aircraft performance. The network was intended to collect airframe data from remote wireless units installed throughout the aircraft and store that data on a central communications unit on the…

Historical Invocon co-developed hardware and was the principal firmware designer for a multi-unit wireless pulse and breathing rate detection system.  Each BodyLAN unit operated in one of two modes.  The real-time clinical mode sampled skin deflection due to blood pulses at 512 Hz. The data was transmitted wirelessly to a PC with a BodyLAN receiver…
