Latest Patents

Connors is associated with 1 patent: “Mesh Network System of Environmental Monitoring Devices.” The invention describes air particle counters and other monitoring devices that can connect opportunistically through a mesh network. Devices collect samples at different facility locations according to a standard operating procedure (SOP), then share sample data and new or updated SOPs through database replication. This allows each device to maintain copies of the data and the current procedure. A dashboard can display the SOP’s hierarchy and related compliance status, supporting procedure management across a facility.
