摘要： Provided is an apparatus (100) for transporting sweat droplets (112) to a sensor. The apparatus comprises a chamber (102) for filling with sweat. The chamber has an inlet (104) lying adjacent the surface of the skin (106), which inlet permits sweat to enter and fill the chamber. The chamber has an outlet (114) from which a sweat droplet protrudes once the chamber has been filled. The apparatus further comprises a fluid transport assembly which is designed to enable the sweat droplet protruding from the outlet to become detached from the outlet of the chamber. The sweat droplet is subsequently transported by the fluid transport assembly to the sensor. Once the protruding droplet has been released from the outlet, the outlet is made available for a subsequent sweat droplet to protrude therefrom upon further filling of the chamber. The released sweat droplet is transported via the fluid transport assembly at least as fast as the subsequent sweat droplet protrudes from the outlet such that the respective sweat droplets do not contact each other before reaching the sensor. Thus, the apparatus supplies sweat to the sensor in a dropwise manner. Further provided is a system comprising the apparatus and a sensor, and a method for transporting sweat droplets to a sensor.

摘要： Disclosed is an air purification system (10) including an air purification apparatus (100) comprising an air inlet (112); an air outlet (114) for expelling air in a target direction (116) into a region and including an adjustment mechanism (121) arranged to adjust said target direction in response to a target direction adjustment signal from a control system for aiming the air outlet at the face of a person in said region; at least one pollutant removal structure (101) in between the air inlet and the air outlet; and an air displacement apparatus (113) for displacing air from the air inlet to the air outlet through the at least one pollutant removal structure, and a sensor (151, 160, 135) adapted to determine a breathing parameter of the person, wherein the air purification apparatus is configured to expel said air as a function of said breathing parameter. A computer program product for configuring such a control system is also disclosed.

摘要： An air purification apparatus (100) for purifying air in a target space external to the apparatus is disclosed that comprises at least one pollutant removal structure (130; 131, 132) for removing a pollutant from the air in fluid connection with a major vent (110) and a directional vent arrangement comprising a directional inlet (112) for drawing air into the air purification apparatus from a region of the target space in an aiming direction of the directional inlet; and a directional outlet (114) for expelling air in a further aiming direction towards the region. An air movement device (120; 121, 122) configured to move air from the directional inlet to the major vent in a first configuration and to move air from the major vent to the directional outlet through the at least one pollutant removal structure in a second configuration responsive to a controller (150) is also present, as well as a sensor (140) arranged to determine a concentration of the pollutant in the air in said region when the air movement device is in the first orientation, wherein the controller is responsive to the sensor and is adapted to switch the air movement device from the first configuration to the second configuration upon the concentration of the pollutant exceeding a defined pollutant concentration threshold.

摘要： Provided is a system (300) for determining a sweat rate per gland and measuring biomarker concentration. The system comprises an apparatus and a sensor (166). The apparatus receives sweat from the skin and transports the sweat as discrete sweat droplets to the sensor. The sensor senses each of the counted sweat droplets. The system further comprises a processor which counts the number of sensed sweat droplets during a time period. The processor also determines time intervals between consecutive sensed sweat droplets, and receives a measure of the volume of each of the counted sweat droplets. The time intervals and the measure of the volume are then used by the processor to identify sweat burst and rest periods of the sweat gland or glands producing the sweat. This identification process necessarily involves assigning the sweat burst and rest periods to the sweat gland or glands, such that the processor is permitted to determine the number of sweat glands involved in producing the sweat. The sweat rate per gland may then be determined from the number of sweat droplets, the measure of the volume of each of the counted sweat droplets, and the determined number of sweat glands. Further provided is a method for determining a sweat rate per gland.

摘要： A sleep monitoring system (10) for monitoring the sleep of a pair of subject comprises a pair of C02 sensors (21,21′) for mounting in different sleeping regions within a space (1) and a processor (31) communicatively coupled to the pair of CO2 sensors. The processor is adapted to, for each CO2 sensor in a particular sleeping region, monitor (203) a CO2 concentration from sensor data produced by the CO2 sensor in said particular sleeping region to detect a presence of a subject in said sleeping region; to register (207) the monitored CO2 concentration upon detecting (205) said presence; to determine (303) a degree of crosstalk between said CO2 sensors upon detecting said presence; and to derive (305, 313) sleep pattern information for said subject from the registered CO2 concentration during said presence as a function of the determined degree of crosstalk, wherein the sleep pattern information comprises at least an indication that the subject is awake and an indication that the subject is asleep.
