Methods of measuring a physical or physiological parameter using an integrated adhesive sensor array including a sensor hub and a detachable sensor pod are presented. In one example, a method comprises: establishing a first communication link between the sensor hub and a wireless receiver; attaching at least the sensor hub directly to a body; establishing a second communication link between the detachable sensor pod and the sensor hub; sensing a physical or physiological parameter by the detachable sensor pod; transmitting sensor data of the physical or physiological parameter from the detachable sensor pod to the sensor hub via the second communication link; and transmitting the sensor data from the sensor hub to the wireless receiver via the first communication link.

Method, devices and systems for sensor with removable nodes

An integrated adhesive sensor array includes an adhesive a patch, a sensor hub, and a detachable sensor pod packaged as a unit. The patch may include a docking area for the detachable sensor pod. The detachable sensor pod may include at least one sensor and may be configured to be detached from the patch and applied to various locations on a body. The detachable sensor pod may send sensor data to the sensor hub via a wired link when on the patch and via a wireless link when detached from the patch. The sensor hub receives sensor data from the various sensors, and relays the data to a receiver. The sensor hub and detachable sensor pod may include indicators for communicating information. The sensor hub may include a power source for powering the sensor hub and a detachable sensor pod attached to the main sensor unit or patch.

A system for providing operational access to equipment or vehicles is disclosed wherein digital access codes are assigned and transported over-the-air governing a vehicle's or equipment's use. The access codes can be generated in connection with comparison of entered and stored biometric data and/or entered code from a keypad. Various security protocols can be used to ensure the secure dispatch and delivery of code information.
