    摘要: The invention provides a system for determining a risk level of a pollen-induced allergy of a user. The system comprises an input for receiving information relating to a pollen level in a location, an input for receiving information relating to a particulate matter level in the location and an input for receiving information relating to a sensitivity of a user to pollen allergen. The system further comprises a processor which is adapted to determine the risk level by taking account of the information relating to a pollen level, the information relating to a particulate matter level and the information relating to a sensitivity of the user to pollen allergen. A user interlace communicates the risk level in the location to the user.

    摘要: A system is for estimating a remaining lifetime of an aldehyde filter. The system comprises aa aldehyde filter (14) through which at least a portion of the gas is to be passed for removing aldehyde (10) from the gas (12) and a detecting medium (16) through which at least a portion of the gas is to be passed comprising photoluminescent carbon-based dots (18), a light source for emitting an excitation light (E) through the detecting medium for exciting the carbon-based dots which thereby emit luminescent light (L), a detector (28) for detecting the luminescent light (L), the luminescent light (L) having a luminescence property; and a controller (30) for determining information relating to intensity of a red, a green or a blue component of the luminescence property and estimating a remaining lifetime of the aldehyde filter from the determined information.

    摘要: A particle sensor is provided for sensing the number or mass concentration of particles within a particular particle size range, the particles having a particle size distribution. The sensor comprises a light source (14) for providing light which is scattered by the particles to generate scattered light; a light detector (16, 18) for detecting the scattered light to provide a light detector signal; and a controller (24) for analyzing the light detector signal to determine information relating to the particle size distribution. Based on that information relating to the particle size distribution, the controller selects a mode of operation of the particle sensor to sense the particles only within the particular size range.

    摘要: A particle or pollen sensor comprises an array of relative humidity sensors. A change in relative humidity is representative of a particle or pollen in contact with one or more of the sensors. A size and/or shape of a particle or pollen in contact with one or more of the sensors is optionally also determined based on the number and/or configuration of sensors. From this information, a particle or pollen type is determined.

    摘要: A particle sensing apparatus is provided for determining particle concentration in a fluid, e.g. air. The apparatus is based on fluid-flow passageway having an upstream inlet to receive the fluid and a downstream outlet to exhaust the fluid. It also includes a recirculation passageway in fluid communication with the fluid-flow passageway. Between them, the fluid-flow passageway and the recirculation passageway define a recirculation loop. A first particle sensor is located in the recirculation loop, and other sensors may also be present at other options. A force applicator is included in the fluid-flow passageway to apply a force to the particles entrained in the fluid. The force is used to direct some or all of the particles into the recirculation loop. This provides a choice between increasing the detection limit or the detection range. A processor determines the concentration of particles in the fluid based on the concentration of particles detected at the first particle sensor.
