A system for detecting the occurrence of anomalies, includes a plurality of spaced apart nodes, with each node having adjacent nodes, each of the nodes having one or more sensors associated with the node and capable of detecting anomalies, and each of the nodes having a controller connected to the sensors associated with the node. The system also includes communication links between adjacent nodes, whereby the nodes form a network. Each controller is programmed to query its adjacent nodes to assess the status of the adjacent nodes and the communication links.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The above objects as well as other objects not specifically enumerated are achieved by a system for detecting the occurrence of anomalies, the system including a plurality of spaced apart nodes, with each node having adjacent nodes, each of the nodes having one or more sensors associated with the node and capable of detecting anomalies, and each of the nodes having a controller connected to the sensors associated with the node.
The system also includes communication links between adjacent nodes, whereby the nodes form a network.
Each controller is programmed to query its adjacent nodes to assess the status of the adjacent nodes and the communication links.
According to this invention there is also provided system for detecting the occurrence of anomalies, the system including a plurality of spaced apart nodes, with each node having adjacent nodes, each of the nodes having one or more sensors associated with the node and capable of detecting anomalies, and each of the nodes having a controller connected to the sensors associated with the node.
The system also includes communication links between adjacent nodes, whereby the nodes form a network.
Each controller has memory storage, and each controller transmits data to an adjacent node, wherein the controller of the adjacent node stores the transmitted data in the memory of the adjacent node.
According to this invention there is also provided a system for detecting the occurrence of anomalies, the system including a plurality of spaced apart nodes, with each node having adjacent nodes, each of the nodes having one or more sensors associated with the node and capable of detecting anomalies, and each of the nodes having a controller connected to the sensors associated with the node.
The system also includes communication links between adjacent nodes, whereby the nodes form a network.
Each controller is programmed to send commands to one or more adjacent nodes upon the detection of predetermined anomalies by its associated sensors
