  • Climate control by in-seat humidity sensor module
    Patent number: 10875429
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor module (1), comprising: at least a first sensor (10) that is designed to measure relative humidity and/or temperature, wherein the sensor module (1) is configured to be mounted in an automotive seat (2), which automotive seat (2) comprises a seat cover region (200) forming an outer surface (200a) of the seat that faces a passenger (P) sitting on the automotive seat (2), wherein the sensor module (1) is configured to be mounted such in said automotive seat (2) that it is spaced apart from said seat cover region (200). Further, the invention relates to an automotive seat (2) comprising such a sensor module (1).

  • Portable electronic device with improved chemical sampling
    Patent number: 9606094
    Abstract: A portable electronic device and a related methods are described using an integrated chemical sensor linked to a chemical sensor processing unit and being sensitive to the concentration of a component in a sample of air and one or more contextual sensors not including chemical, temperature and humidity sensors, wherein output from the contextual sensors is linked to a local or remote interpretation processor generating a constraint or correlation set transferred to the chemical sensor processing unit for use in determining a result of a chemical measurement as performed by the chemical sensor.
