Patent number: 11331614Abstract: In an example, an air filter system includes an air filter and a thermally conductive particulate sensor (TCPS). The TCPS includes a temperature sensor to measure a first temperature of the TCPS at a first time, measure a second temperature of the TCPS at a second time, and provide the measured first temperature and the measured second temperature to a controller. The controller to determine an actual rate of temperature change based on the measured first temperature and the measured second temperature, compare the actual rate of temperature change to a target rate of temperature change, and provide a notification when a difference between the actual rate of temperature change and the target rate of temperature change is greater than an accumulation threshold indicative of a threshold amount of particulate accumulation on the TCPS.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2017Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ning Ge, Paul Howard Mazurkiewicz, Helen A.
