Patent number: 11468761Abstract: A sensor device, system and method can generate a profile of one or more detected substances in an environment, receive monitoring data from one or more of a group of sensors, and assess whether a heat-not-burn device activity event has been detected. In various embodiments, the sensor device includes a particle detection sensor and a gas detection sensor and a profile for heat-not-burn device activity is established with a threshold of detected particles and/or gases. In various embodiments, the profile for heat-not-burn activity is established with a threshold of gases that is not to be met or exceeded in order to generate a positive heat-not-burn detection.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Halo Smart Solutions, Inc.Inventors: David Antar, Frank L.

Patent number: 6293408Abstract: An apparatus for processing electronic circuit devices includes an infeed station, a first inspection station, an inverter station, a second inspection station, a sorting station, and an outfeed station. A linear transport mechanism having side edges transports a first work piece containing a plurality of electronic circuit devices through the stations along a linear path. The inverter station holds an empty second work piece above the transport mechanism in an inverted orientation. The inverter station also includes an elevator for lifting the first work piece vertically into an abutting relationship with the second work piece, and an inverting mechanism for inverting the first and second work pieces while maintaining them in the abutting relationship to position the electronic devices in the second work piece in the inverted orientation.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1999Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: Robotic Vision Systems, Inc.
