STORAGE DEVICE AND STORAGE SYSTEM CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING HUMIDITY, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18337790 titled 'STORAGE DEVICE AND STORAGE SYSTEM CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING HUMIDITY, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a storage device with a memory, a humidity sensor, and a storage controller that can heat the device to increase its temperature if the humidity level exceeds a certain threshold.
- Memory storage device with built-in humidity sensor
- Humidity sensor collects humidity information
- Storage controller heats device to increase temperature if humidity exceeds threshold
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in:
- Climate-controlled storage facilities
- Data centers
- Food storage areas
Problems Solved
The technology helps prevent damage to sensitive materials or equipment due to high humidity levels by regulating temperature.
Benefits
- Protects stored items from humidity-related damage
- Increases longevity of storage devices
- Provides real-time monitoring of humidity levels
Potential Commercial Applications
"Climate-Controlled Storage Solutions" could be a potential commercial application for this technology.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing storage devices with humidity sensors, but without the heating operation feature.
Unanswered Questions
How does the heating operation affect the overall energy consumption of the storage device?
The patent application does not provide information on the energy efficiency of the heating operation.
The patent application does not address any safety considerations that may arise from the heating operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
A storage device may include a memory, a humidity sensor that collects humidity information of the storage device, and a storage controller that performs a heating operation set to increase a temperature of the storage device through the memory if a humidity value of the humidity information exceeds a reference humidity value.
