EMBEDDED TEMPERATURE SENSORS FOR MONITORING TEMPERATURE OF ARTICLES AND STATUS OF DRYING OR CLEANING CYCLES
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18819360 titled 'EMBEDDED TEMPERATURE SENSORS FOR MONITORING TEMPERATURE OF ARTICLES AND STATUS OF DRYING OR CLEANING CYCLES
Original Abstract Submitted
An embedded temperature sensor may be attached to or otherwise associated with a textile in order to measure one or more temperatures of the textile. Temperature information received from one or more embedded temperature sensor(s) throughout the course of a dryer cycle may be analyzed to determine dryness of one or more textiles in a dryer, determine whether one or more textiles in the dryer are overdry, generate an indication of the dryness of the one or more textiles in the dryer, and/or to control one or more dryer cycles of the dryer, such as by automatically turning-off the dryer when one or more of the textiles in the dryer are determined to be dry. The embedded temperature sensor may further be used to validate a cleaning process in a cleaning machine.
