US Patent:

20090273479, Nov 5, 2009

Filed:

May 5, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/435965

Inventors:

Michael Jay Waugh - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

THORAD Corporation - Austin TX

International Classification:

G08B 17/00
G08B 21/00

US Classification:

340584, 340540

Abstract:

Provided is a system and method for providing monitoring of hazardous materials, including collecting environmental data via one or more sensors directed at the hazardous materials source, the environmental data including one or more environmentally detectable reference points; comparing the environmental data to a set of current ambient conditions, the environmental data detectable in a reference frame by the one or more sensors directed at the hazardous materials source, the reference frame including at least one of the one or more environmentally detectable reference points; performing an alert determination according to the comparison of the environmental data to the set of ambient conditions; and transmitting the alert determination to an existing fault detection system for the hazardous material source to enable the existing fault detection system to override a status rating of the hazardous materials source. Also included is a sensing system including modules operating on a processor to perform the method.
