Appeal 2007-0205
Application 09/812,302
5. As shown in Figure 3, Su provides for wireless communication
instead of hard-wire components such that the sensors communicate
with the data collection unit over independent wireless links formed
using wireless communication devices (col. 4, ll. 20-25).
6. The on-site collection unit registers data relating to each sensor or
groups of sensors either continuously, or on a specific schedule, or on
demand (col. 4, ll. 25-29).
7. Su further discloses a representation of the locations of the sensors in
Figure 7 in which the results of interrogation show the zone or
location in which the presence of termites was detected (col. 7, ll. 4-
13).
8. Su further discloses that although the sensors described for the remote
monitoring system are designed to use circuit interruption to detect the
presence of termites, other sensors such as moisture meters
strategically placed in structural wood to detect potential moisture
problem, acoustic emission devices to detect feeding activity of other
wood destroying insects such as drywood termites, powderpost
beetles, wood borers, or a miniature digital balance for measuring
weight loss of cockroach or ant bait stations, may be used in
accordance with the present invention (col. 7, ll. 25-34).
