REPLACEABLE CARTRIDGE FOR BREATHALYZER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240049984 titled 'REPLACEABLE CARTRIDGE FOR BREATHALYZER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a breathalyser device that includes a breath chamber with an inlet and an outlet. The device also includes a sensor for detecting an intoxicating substance in the breath sample and generating an electronic signal representing its concentration. A pump moves the sample to the sensor, and first electronic circuitry with a processor processes the signal and generates data related to the substance concentration. Second electronic circuitry with a memory stores the generated data. The sensor and the second electronic circuitry are part of a removable cartridge that can be mounted on the main housing of the breathalyser. The second electronic circuitry is also removable and connectable to the first electronic circuitry.
- The breathalyser device has a breath chamber, sensor, pump, and electronic circuitry.
- The sensor detects the concentration of an intoxicating substance in the breath sample.
- The pump moves the breath sample to the sensor for analysis.
- The first electronic circuitry processes the sensor signal and generates data.
- The second electronic circuitry stores the generated data and is removable.
- The sensor and second electronic circuitry are part of a removable cartridge.
- The cartridge can be mounted on the main housing of the breathalyser.
- The second electronic circuitry can be connected to the first electronic circuitry.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Law enforcement agencies can use this breathalyser device to quickly and accurately measure the intoxicating substance concentration in a person's breath.
- Individuals can use this device to monitor their own intoxication levels and make informed decisions about driving or operating machinery.
Problems solved by this technology:
- This breathalyser provides a portable and convenient solution for measuring intoxication levels, eliminating the need for bulky and expensive laboratory equipment.
- The removable cartridge allows for easy replacement and maintenance of the sensor and electronic circuitry.
Benefits of this technology:
- Accurate and reliable measurement of intoxication levels can help prevent drunk driving accidents and promote public safety.
- The portable and user-friendly design of the breathalyser allows for widespread use and accessibility.
- The ability to store and analyze data provides valuable information for monitoring and tracking intoxication levels over time.
Original Abstract Submitted
a breathalyser comprises a breath chamber defining an inlet for a breath sample and an outlet . a sensor for an intoxicating substance is in fluid flow communication with the outlet . the sensor comprises an output for an electronic signal representative of a concentration of the intoxicating substance in the sample. a pump moves the sample via the outlet to the sensor . first electronic circuitry comprises a controller comprising a processor for processing the signal and to generate data relating to the concentration of the intoxicating substance. second electronic circuitry comprises a memory arrangement which is in signal communication with the first electronic circuitry and stores the generated data. the first electronic circuitry is permanently mounted in a main housing of the breathalyser. at least the sensor and the second electronic circuitry form part of a cartridge which is removably mountable on the main housing . the second electronic circuitry is removably connectable to the first electronic circuitry
