  • Sensor platform including thermal conductivity sensor for analyzing the contents and surroundings of sealed packages or insulated glass units
    Patent number: 10627359
    Abstract: A sensor system for sensing environmental conditions inside of a sealed enclosure includes a microcontroller and a thermal conductivity sensor for sensing inert gas concentration. The thermal conductivity sensor is operably coupled to the microcontroller. The thermal conductivity sensor includes a lamp with a filament that is exposed to the environment inside of the sealed enclosure, a thermal mass and a temperature sensor coupled to the thermal mass. The lamp is disposed at least partially within the thermal mass. A heater is coupled to the thermal mass.
