  • Patent number: 10667722
    Abstract: The fat burning analyzer includes a sampling part, an analysis unit and a processing unit. The sampling part collects a breath sample from the user, information on the conditions of the breath sample collection, and provides a sampling signal correlated to the collection condition of the breath sample. The analysis unit provides a detection signal corresponding to an acetone concentration in the collected breath sample and, as such, provides information on the breath acetone of the user (during exercise or resting). The processing unit receives the sampling signal and/or detection signal, and evaluates the sampling signal and/or the detection signal. The evaluation provides information correlated to the fat burning intensity of the user. These information can be provided as an output signal by the processing unit. Accordingly, the processing unit is equipped to provide an output signal correlated to the fat burning intensity of the user.

  • Publication number: 20200057039
    Abstract: An analyzer for detection of a target compound in a complex gas mixture in the gas phase includes a detector for detecting the target compound and further has a sensing cavity. The detector is arranged in the sensing cavity. The analyzer also has a separate first membrane that is equipped to close the cavity and simplifies the composition of the complex gas mixture into a first gas mixture, wherein the first gas mixture includes the first target compound and wherein the first membrane is equipped to let the first gas mixture traverse through the first membrane into the sensing cavity. The detector is equipped to detect the first target compound.
