Abstract: A method for ensuring verifiable parking of micro-mobility vehicles in designated locations through centralized or decentralized systems. The invention seeks to solve situations of scattered and disorderly parking of micro-mobility vehicles. Through sensing devices, the main system receives information of a parked vehicle within a designated space, which may include vehicle features or alphanumeric code, and processes the data for verification via machine learning or other techniques. Upon verification of the proper parking of a vehicle, a ledger logs the corresponding user with the parking event. Cryptocurrency tokens may be distributed to users or operators upon verification of proper parking, depending on whether the vehicle is owned by the user or part of a shared fleet.

Abstract: A method provides a diagnostic on a combined humidity and temperature sensing device including a humidity sensor having a humidity sensing element, a temperature sensor, and a heater. The method comprises obtaining a first temperature and a first relative humidity, heating the humidity sensing element with the heater, obtaining a second temperature and a second relative humidity after heating the humidity sensing element, and determining a difference between the first temperature and the second temperature and a difference between the first relative humidity and the second relative humidity. Diagnostic information representative of a possible malfunction of the humidity sensor is output when the difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is higher than a predetermined temperature difference threshold and the difference between the first relative humidity and the second relative humidity is lower than a predetermined humidity difference threshold.
