  • Patent number: 11988600
    Abstract: A gas sensor, a method of manufacturing a gas sensor, a method for fabricating a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) die for a heater or thermopile, and a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) die for a heater or thermopile. The gas sensor comprises a first micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) die comprising a light source; a second MEMS die comprising a light detector; a sample chamber disposes in an optical path between the light source and the light detector; and a holder substrate; wherein the first and second MEMS dies are disposed on the holder substrate in a vertical orientation relative to the holder.

  • Publication number: 20240091624
    Abstract: A system (200) comprising: a display screen (102; 300) associated with an exercise device (100); a sensor module (112; 304) associated with the display screen (102; 300); and a controller (110; 302) having a processor (116; 308) and memory (118; 310) for storing instructions, the processor (116; 308) executing the instructions to: based on output of the sensor module (112; 304), detect any one or more of position or proximity of the display screen (102; 300) in relation to the exercise device (100); and selectively change content displayed on the display screen (102) based on any one or more of the position and/or the proximity.

  • Patent number: 9442055
    Abstract: Method for measuring the hardness of agricultural products includes: implementing a test program suitable for identifying and selecting one or more indices (S3, S4) which can be measured with a non-destructive test on a respective product/fruit, correlated with the hardness (Du) of the same product/fruit, measured by a respective penetration test; and calculating the coefficients that define the straight line representative of the linear correlation between said indices and the hardness for the respective product. The method is implemented with the operations of: applying on the product a dynamic force, preferably of impulsive type; detecting the mechanical reaction through at least a piezoelectric transducer capable of generating an electric signal based on the application or transmission of said dynamic force through the respective kiwi fruit; and analyzing said electric signal relative to the fruit.
