  • Publication number: 20260022853
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for detecting and predicting mold growth comprising a housing having at least one air intake passage defined in the housing; a first sensor disposed in said housing and in fluid communication with the air intake passage, the first sensor being capable of determining the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air; a database containing a plurality of mold growth predication algorithms, each being associated with a predefined temperature range; a computer system in communication with the first sensor and being adapted to receive from the first sensor a temperature reading and a humidity reading; retrieve from the database one of the mold growth prediction algorithms that is associated with the predefined temperature range in which the temperature reading falls; input into the retrieved mold prediction algorithm the humidity reading and calculate a value representing the number of days until mold growth occurs; and create a user notification representing a risk level

  • Patent number: 6636812
    Abstract: An on-line sampling and analysis system and method in which a sampling line inlet pipe receives a continuous flow of a suspension or a slurry having particulates, such as grains, seed or phosphate rock, for rapid analysis of the contents therein in a flowing stream. A sample presentation area such as a window is positioned below the flow of the suspension or slurry in an assembly allowing for the depositing of a sample of solid content from the suspension or slurry which is collected for viewing by a computer controlled video camera. The camera is provided for imaging the sample of the solid content collected at the sample presentation area, and a personal computer analyzes images provided by the camera to characterize the content of the fluid media.
