  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING GAS RECIRCULATION OR AIRWAY OCCLUSION
    Publication number: 20220187266
    Abstract: A display assembly system which detects abnormal operating conditions, such as gas recirculation or airway occlusion, is provided. An electronic display is located within a housing. Sensors measure characteristics of ambient air ingested by a thermal management subsystem. Weather conditions are gathered for a location, and measurements are received from the sensors regarding characteristics of the ingested ambient air. An alert is generated if the measurements change at a rate different from a rate of change of the weather conditions by at least a preterminal amount.

  • System and method for detecting gas recirculation or airway occlusion
    Patent number: 11293908
    Abstract: A display assembly which detects abnormal operating conditions, such as gas recirculation or airway occlusion, is provided. An electronic display is located within a housing. An airflow pathway travels through the housing and is configured to accept, circulate, and exhaust air by way of one or more fans. One or more sensors measure characteristics of the air. Weather conditions for a location of the display assembly are gathered, measurements from the sensors are received, and a determination is made as to whether the measurements of the ingested air are within a margin of error expected measurements derived from the gathered weather conditions. An alert is generated if the measurements of the ingested air are not within the margin of error.
