Abstract

A method for transmitting data generated by a logger within a concrete mass and for displaying mechanical data to a device for outside the concrete mass. The method includes the step of sensing, processing, and recording the mechanical data generated by the logger within the concrete mass. The mechanical data is protected from alteration while the mechanical data is within the concrete mass. The mechanical data is transferred to an external device with a first protected transference protocol. The mechanical data is transferred to a computer with a second protected transference protocol. The mechanical data is decoded in the computer and displayed on a user interface.

Claims (25)

1. A method for transmitting data generated by a logger within a concrete mass and for displaying mechanical data to a device outside the concrete mass, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) sensing, processing and recording the mechanical data;

(b) protecting the mechanical data from alteration while the mechanical data is within the concrete mass;

(c) transferring the mechanical data to an external device with a first protected transference protocol;

(d) transferring the mechanical data to a computer with a second protected transference protocol; and

(e) decoding the mechanical data in the computer and displaying the mechanical data on a user interface.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the mechanical data are transferred to the external device via a wired transference protocol.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the mechanical data are transferred to the external device via a wireless transference protocol.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the mechanical data are transferred to the computer via a serial cable.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the first transference protocol is encrypted to prevent tampering of the data during transference.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the second transference protocol is encrypted to prevent tampering of the data during transference.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the first transference protocol is proprietary to prevent tampering of the data during transference.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the second transference protocol is proprietary to prevent tampering of the data during transference.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the mechanical data is transferred to the computer via electronic mail.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the mechanical data is transferred from the computer to a world-wide computer network.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein the mechanical data is transferred from the external device to the computer via the second protected transference protocol.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the mechanical data are transferred to the external device via a wired transference protocol.

13. The method of claim 11 wherein the mechanical data are transferred to the external device via a wireless transference protocol.

14. The method of claim 11 wherein the mechanical data are transferred to the computer via a serial cable.

15. The method of claim 11 wherein the first transference protocol is encrypted to prevent tampering of the data during transference.

16. The method of claim 11 wherein the second transference protocol is encrypted to prevent tampering of the data during transference.

17. The method of claim 11 wherein the first transference protocol is proprietary to prevent tampering of the data during transference.

18. The method of claim 11 wherein the second transference protocol is proprietary to prevent tampering of the data during transference.

19. The method of claim 11 wherein the mechanical data is transferred to the computer via electronic mail.

20. The method of claim 11 wherein the mechanical data is transferred from the computer to a world-wide computer network.
