  • Systems and methods for logging data in harsh environments
    Patent number: 11598674
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention allow to determine ambient gas temperature in harsh environments such as in a steam autoclave chamber during a sterilization process. In certain embodiments of the invention, temperature data is gathered using a sensor that is placed in an enclosed electronics-based temperature logging device. A capsule seals the temperature logging device except for a through hole that, during regular operation, allows gas to directly contact a surface of the temperature logging device in order to reduce a time lag between the data logging device and an ambient gas. As a result, the data logging device accurately can track temperature variations when placed, for example, inside a chamber.
