  • Publication number: 20240110715
    Abstract: A system for detecting and cleaning indoor air pollution includes gas detection devices and filtering devices. The gas detection devices are adapted to detect a qualitative property and a concentration of an air pollution and output an air pollution data to perform an intelligent computation. The filtering devices are physical-typed or chemical-typed for filtering the air pollution. The filtering devices include one or more movable filtering devices, and the movable filtering device includes a gas detection device. After the intelligent computation is performed to locate an air pollution location, a control command is transmitted to the movable filtering device selectively and intelligently, and the movable filtering device receives the control command and is moved to the air pollution location. Therefore, the movable filtering device allows the air pollution data to approach to a non-detection state, thus a gas in the indoor space is cleaned to a safe and breathable state.

  • Publication number: 20050123182
    Abstract: This invention provides a temperature sensor to sense a temperature profile of a target surfaces and to judge whether the high-temperature area, having a temperature higher than a predetermined temperature, of the target surface is a major area. The temperature sensor comprises an image capturing module, an image processing module, an image database and a comparison module. The image capturing module is used to measure the temperature profile of the target surface and capture a heat image of the target object. The image processing module is used to label the high-temperature area wherein the temperature is high than a predetermined temperature. The image database stores a plurality of images of the major areas. The comparison module compares an image of the high-temperature area with the image of the major area stored in an image database and decides whether the high-temperature area is the major area.
