SENSOR ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240201330 titled 'SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The sensor assembly described in the patent application consists of a housing, a sensor unit attached to the housing, and an airfoil blade. The sensor unit includes a cylindrical shell that can rotate around a vertical axis relative to the housing. The housing has an aperture centered on the axis, which serves as an airflow outlet. The sensor unit has an airflow inlet positioned to receive airflow from the aperture. An airfoil blade is placed at a gap between the aperture and the lower edge of the cylindrical shell to interrupt the airflow.
- The sensor unit includes a rotatable cylindrical shell with an airflow inlet.
- The housing features an aperture that serves as an airflow outlet.
- An airfoil blade is positioned to interrupt airflow between the housing and the sensor unit.
- The design allows for precise control and measurement of airflow.
- The innovation enhances the efficiency and accuracy of sensor readings.
Potential Applications: - Environmental monitoring systems - HVAC systems - Wind turbine technology

Original Abstract Submitted
a sensor assembly includes a housing, a sensor unit attached to the housing, and an airfoil blade. the sensor unit includes a cylindrical shell defining a vertical axis. the cylindrical shell is rotatable around the axis relative to the housing. the cylindrical shell includes a lower edge and extends along the axis from the lower edge. the housing includes an aperture centered on the axis. the aperture defines an airflow outlet from the housing radially inside the aperture relative to the axis. the sensor unit defines an airflow inlet radially inside the lower edge relative to the axis and is positioned to receive airflow from the aperture. a gap is defined between the aperture and the lower edge along the axis. the airfoil blade is positioned at the gap and positioned to interrupt airflow from the housing through the aperture into the cylindrical shell.
