Publication number: 20230349978Abstract: A gas monitoring system can include a chemical concentration secondary gas sensor, with a conductive heater element, which can be heated to a standby temperature slightly above an ambient temperature level of a gaseous ambient environment. A thermal characteristic of the environment can be monitored by a thermal property primary sensor and configured to provide a triggering output in response to a physical characteristic of the conductive heating element meeting at least one criterion. In response to the triggering output, the heater is controllable to heat the chemical concentration secondary gas sensor to a secondary operating temperature at which the chemical concentration secondary gas sensor can detect the presence of a specified gas in the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Youri Victorovitch Ponomarev, Joern Oppenhaeuser

Patent number: 11536680Abstract: Electrochemical sensors include a housing within which an electrolyte is provided over the electrodes. The housing includes an active region, which is the area around the electrodes in which the electrolyte must be positioned to ensure correct operation of the device. The inner walls, base and ceiling of the housing are coated in either hydrophobic or hydrophilic materials, or both, so as to encourage the electrolyte to take a position over the active region, which is defined by the position of the electrodes. In some electrochemical sensors, a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials is used and the materials can be arranged in a pattern, which encourages the electrolyte to take a position over the active region.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Analog Devices International Unlimited CompanyInventors: Alfonso Berduque, Youri Victorovitch Ponomarev, Brendan Cawley, Donal McAuliffe, Raymond J.

Publication number: 20220163479Abstract: Electrochemical sensors typically include capillaries or openings in a substrate which allow the gas present in the environment to make its way into the sensor. The present disclosure proposes the use of a hydrophobic layer, coating or surface in various arrangements around these openings in order to help prevent or restrict electrolyte leaving the sensor and also prevent moisture or other liquids entering the sensor. In some such electrochemical sensors, the hydrophobic layer acts to prevent or restrict electrolyte from drying out or leaving the sensor. In other such electrochemical sensors, there is a porous electrode and a liquid electrolyte, with the hydrophobic layer repelling the electrolyte from passing through the electrode and out of the electrochemical sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2022Publication date: May 26, 2022Inventors: Alfonso Berduque, Youri Victorovitch Ponomarev, Brendan Cawley, Donal McAuliffe, Raymond J.

Patent number: 9884715Abstract: A container for containing a perishable substance has a container wall with an inner side and an outer side. The wall has an electrically conductive layer extending between the inner side and the outer side. The inner side faces the space containing the substance. The container comprises electronic circuitry having a sensor for sensing a physical property or condition of the substance, and an antenna for communicating an RF signal to a receiver, external to the container. The RF signal is indicative of the physical property or condition sensed. The sensor is positioned so as to be exposed to the space containing the substance in operational use of the container. The antenna is positioned at the outer side, or between the outer side and the electrically conductive layer, and is electrically isolated from the electrically conductive layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2011Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Romano Hoofman, Roel Daamen, Youri Victorovitch Ponomarev, Fotopoulou Kyriaki, Matthias Merz, Gilberto Curatola, Anton Tombeur
