UV Fire Detection (Hamamatsu UV Tron)

UV TRON is a class 1 ultraviolet detector that makes use of the photoelectric effect of metal and the gas multiplication effect. It has a narrow spectral sensitivity of 185 nm to 260 nm, being completely insensitive to visible light. Unlike semiconductor detectors, it does not require optical visible-cut filters, thus making it easy to use. In spite of its small size, it has wide angular sensitivity (directivity) and can reliably and quickly detect weak ultraviolet radiations emitted from flame due to use the metal plate cathode (eq. it can detect the flame of a cigarette lighter at a distance of 5 meters). Hamamatsu UV TRON is well suited for use in flame detectors and fire alarms, and also in detection of invisible discharge phenomena such as corona discharge of high-voltage transmission lines.

The Smoky Bomb Threat
The exotic murder-by-polonium of the former K.G.B. spy Alexander Litvinenko has embroiled Russia, Britain and Germany in a diplomatic scuffle and a hunt for more traces of the lethal substance. But it also throws into question most of the previous analyses of 'ditry bombs' terrorist attacks using radioactive isotopes wrapped in explosives (or using other dispersion techniques) to spread radioactive material in crowded areas  (more..)

How To Find Easily A Sensor
Simple question, difficult answer. In DTLink, we resolved this problem with the Configurable Location Buzzer. Once you a close to the device you can send it an SMS message with the duration you want the buzzer to beep. Simple question, simple answer.
Comparison To RFID Systems
Radio frequency identification, or RFID, technology, employs a different strategy for communication. In the RFID model, a unique identifier is stored on a device (called a transponder or a tag) containing a tiny processor attached to an antenna. When an RFID tag is within reasonable proximity to an RFID reader, which is a device that emits a signal activating the tag, the unique identifier is captured and can be communicated to other computers within an application system. The kinds of applications suitable to an RFID system are those that need to track objects as they move from one location to another. The difference between a mote and an RFID tag is that a mote has two way communications and it's part of a network. The motes can talk to each other. A RFID tag is simply a device that transmits information. This is an essential difference when constructing a network of sensors and expanding to features that require a two-way communication.
Barometric Pressure (Bosch)

The device is a high-precision, ultra-power barometric pressure sensor for use in advanced mobile applications. With an absolute accuracy of 2.5hPa (which is equivalent to an altitude change of merely 0.25m) the device offers superior performance.. At the same time the device features ultra low power consumption of down to 3mA.
 
Earthquake Sensors Is A Reality

Radon, an inert gas, is produced in the decay series of U-238 (1). The total uranium content of the earth crust is about 3-4 ppm (parts per million) which is significant in terms of total mass and its radiological contribution to our atmosphere. An important application of radon measurements is in earthquake prediction (3-6). The earthquakes have always been a source of terror and destruction for the mankind. About 3.5 million deaths are known to have occurred in 38 major earthquakes from 342-1976 A.D. The earthquake prediction has always been a dream and now it seems to be at the verge of reality as a result of advances made in the science of radon measurement.. (more..) (radons detector)

Embedded Wireless Fire Detection
Two-Level Alarm Support

Unlike competitor systems, DTLink WDS, based on DTSensors, provides two-level alarm system. From both the gateway device installed at the field and the Control Center where the GIS software runs. This is to prevent an eventual unavailability of the Control Center or a communication problem between the two systems. (more..)

Self-Organizing Network Of Sensors

The concept of self-organizing sensor networks deployed in large areas can be implemented in many real world applications, since the required technology of electronics now exists and is well-proven. In this case, DTLink WDS deploys a self-organizing fire-sensor network over forest areas. Each sensor employs multiple sensors, a wireless communication unit and a microprocessor. In user-defined time intervals, sensors transmit a status signal to the network which is then carried via neighboring sensors to local router (GSM, LAN, Wireless LAN), which in turn broadcast the entire network status to the DTMaps application.

Mote Module Comparison Table

Energy consumption is a critical parameter of a sensor node. The comparison table shows the current consumption for Mica2, Telos, EyesIFX, and TinyNode. The MCU related consumptions of the TinyNode, EyesIFX, and Telos nodes are identical since they use the same chip. TinyNode has radio consumptions comparable to the Mica2, while offering significantly higher range and data rates. Telos also has comparable radio consumption, but the CC2420 offers a higher bit rate and faster radio wake-up. The tradeoff to this lower con- sumption is a reduced communication rang. (more..)

Designed to meet the guidelines of the World Meteorological Organization, our self-emptying tipping-bucket design is exceptionally accurate. Used to display daily and accumulated rainfall on weather stations (plus rate of rainfall on GroWeather, Energy EnviroMonitor, and Health EnviroMonitor). Comes with 40' (12 m) standard cable. 

DTMaps.com Interface

Easy to install and deploy, DTMaps will allow the online display of a fire detection zone based on Google maps and unique data presentation and graphing capabilities. Fire Detectors will start sending data to DTMaps and alert messages  immediately after installation. DTMaps interface will run both on PCs and smartphone devices.

Anemometer

The Anemometer includes both wind speed and wind direction sensors. Rugged components stand up to hurricane-force winds, yet are sensitive to a light breeze. Includes sealed stainless-steel bearings for long life. The range and accuracy specifications of this unit have been verified in wind-tunnel tests (information available upon request). A model 7911 Anemometer reported wind speeds of 175 miles per hour before its tower collapsed during hurricane Andrew, 1992. Digital filtering, with time constant as specified below, is applied to wind direction measurements. In areas where icing of the anemometer is a problem, use Anemometer Drip Rings to deflect water from the joint between moving parts.

Soil Moisture

10HS Sensor

The large sphere of influence meets the needs of those customers who would like to measure the volumetric water content of a large soil sample volume. The 10HS obtains volumetric water content by measuring the dielectric constant of the media through the utilization of capacitance/frequency domain technology. In addition, the soil moisture sensors incorporate a high frequency oscillation, which allows the sensor to accurately measure soil moisture in any soil or soilless media with minimal salinity and textural effects. ect water from the joint between moving parts.

Wireless Parking Studs
Wireless devices installed under the vehicle on the parking place that integrates a magnetic field sensor and the ultra-low power TinyNode 584 (mote) that communicates the vehicle presence to the wireless parking gateway device. The wireless parking studs are provided in two versions: the embedded version that installs into the bitumen and the regular version that installs on the bitumen. The wireless parking studs are especially designed for an outdoor operation and will deliver services for more than 5 years using an AA battery. The network technology used in the DTMaps Parking project, provides innovative solutions to some inherent problems like: energy efficiency, topology control and routing, and medium access control, to mention but a few. A technology for years reserved to academic searchers is now available to public applications.

Wireless Parking Gateway
Wireless device that groups a large number of wireless parking studs and ensures the communication between the devices and the DTMaps application. Whenever a vehicle occupies a parking place, the local device will pass the information to neighbor devices which finally reaches the wireless parking gateway. The device will connect to a public network: GSM, GPRS, 3G, EDGE or any other public Wi-Fi and will send the information to the DTMaps application.

Wireless Parking Easy To Install
DTMaps Parking has some unique install features that will make the system implementation a snap. Once a wireless parking stud is installed on the road, the installer will be able to immediately insert into the DTMaps interface and start getting information. No special devices are necessary. A mobile phone with access to the Internet is all that you will need.

DTMaps Parking For Professionals
Every car driver has seen those parking info panels at the entries of the city redirecting users and providing useful information on parking provisioning. This was an excellent idea back in the 70’s, when communication devices and information was still visual and massive in the way that should approach the car drivers. In addition, by that time, our concerns about visual architectural pollution, where inexistent. Today there is an additional way to redirect your parking users without making massive investments in info panels. DTMaps ! Provide the same information individually !!
