Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method for detecting a parameter of at least one gas comprising:
receiving the at least one gas at a gas sensor included in a first device;
measuring a density of the at least one gas;
at least one of a) heating and b) cooling the at least one gas with a first thermal input; determining a first rate at which the at least one gas changes temperature when at least one of heating and b) cooling the at least one gas;
comparing at least one of the density and the first rate to a reference database of gases; determining at least one of a) a category b) a lower explosive limit and c) a concentration of the at least one gas; and
generating at least one output signal reflective of at least one of a) a category b) a lower explosive limit and c) a concentration of the at least one gas;
receiving the least one output signal from the gas sensor and another output signal from at least one other gas sensor, the other gas sensor being included in a second device that is physically separate from the first device, the gas sensor being on one side of a safety barrier and the at least one other gas sensor being placed on the another side of the safety barrier, the safety barrier being at least one of a fire or explosion barrier;
aggregating the least one output signal and the another output signal by a gateway using a low-power, wide area protocol; and
transmitting the least one output signal an the another output signal to a cloud.
