Definitions

  • FIG. 4 is a schematic view of welding-type devices and monitoring devices in accordance with an aspect of the present invention. 1
  • DME Distance Measuring Equipment
  • DME/VOR sensors 44 (such as radio antennas) determine how far an object is from a DME transmitter (not shown) and at what angle an object is from a VOR transmitter (not shown).
  • the polar coordinates of a welding-type device could be determined relative to a monitoring device 48 or other device transmitting DME/VOR signals.
  • LORAN-type system LOng RAnge Navigation
  • a mesh network allows for wireless communication assemblies to be disposed inside welding-type devices without increasing required power consumption.
  • a metal outer housing of a welding-type device can create a high signal attenuation, which must be overcome by using higher power signals or forming gaps in the housing.
  • the higher attenuation rate of a device housing becomes a less significant factor, and power consumption can remain relatively lower.
  • a mesh network topology has recognizable benefits, one of ordinary skill in the art will also understand that other network topologies are equivalently applicable, such as a traditional "star-shaped" network topology, or distributed or “tree” network topologies.
  • the use of repeater units and/or signal boosters can aid in overcoming transmission hindrances in any network topology, especially when welding-type devices are located in areas which create a high degree of signal attenuation, such as in the hulls of ships.
