Abstract: A high dew point humidity sensor includes an enclosure assembly, an ambient temperature sensor, air sample intake and exhaust openings, a fluid-moving device, a heater block assembly, an internal temperature sensor, a humidity sensor chip, and a controller. The controller is configured to: (i) collect a measured ambient temperature from the ambient temperature sensor; (ii) collect a measured humidity of sample air from the humidity sensor chip; (iii) collect a measured temperature from the internal temperature sensor; and (iv) control operation of the heater block assembly based, at least in part, on the measured ambient temperature and the measured temperature from the internal temperature sensor.

Abstract: A CMOS dynamic circulating-one shift register (10) is disclosed. One stage of a conventional N-stage circulating-one shift register is modified to become a control cell (14) which performs two additional functions, referred to as AUTOSET and AUTOCLEAR, to guarantee the existence of a single circulating logic one, after power up or during long-term use. To perform the AUTOCLEAR function, the output (Q3) of the control cell is connected to the CLR inputs of each of the remaining stages (12.sub.1 -12.sub.N-1) comprising the shift register. Therefore, when Q3 becomes a logic one, the remaining Q outputs are automatically cleared. The Q output from the control cell is also fed back as the D input to the first stage of the shift register (12.sub.1) to continue the circulation process.
