摘要:
A packing method and system for measuring multiple measurands including bi-directional flow comprises of sampling ports arranged within a flow tube in a symmetrical pattern. The ports are arranged symmetrically with respect to the X and Y centerlines of the flow tube. In addition, the ports are also arranged symmetrical to the restrictor to minimize the amount of turbulent flow within the flow tube.

A modular sensor system includes a plurality of varying types of sensors that provide multiple sensing measurands for sensing operations. A housing is generally associated with the varying types of sensors, such that the housing introduces media to be sensed by the sensors. An electrical interface can also be connected to the sensors, wherein the electrical interface permits a logical physical connection to be made to a selected sensor in order to maximize sensing sensitivity and provide a sensing repeatability and accurate sensor compensation thereof for the sensing operations.
摘要:
Indirect airflow measurement through breath-operated device is accomplished by incorporating an airflow sensor into the inhaler device along a low resistance channel disposed away from the exhaust chamber of the device and having an input port in airflow communication with a low resistance channel and output input port and low resistance channel are formed in the main housing body of the device, and further incorporating an output port formed near the exhaust changer near the mouthpiece assembly, the output port also in airflow communication with the low resistance channel. A method of measuring airflow in an inhalation device is also described that measures air flowing through the low resistance channel. Another aspect of the invention provides a method that allows for the closure of the devices' airflow ports, by allowing for the rotation of the mouthpiece assembly from open to closed positions relative to the inhaling device's main housing body and towards handle assembly.
