JonDeTech has been granted a patent for the function of measuring temperature on a surface. This can, for example, be useful for overheating alarms for mobile phone chargers and similar products. The patent applies in Sweden to the use of an open sensor element which is neither encapsulated nor equipped with a lens.
JonDeTech’s 0.17 mm thin sensor is made of nanowires that are produced in a porous plastic. The sensor element is robust and durable even without encapsulation and can, therefore be placed in an application completely open and yet be an effective solution. The patent is JonDeTech’s second application patent.
– Thanks to the unique properties of our sensor, which makes it possible to use it without encapsulation or lens, this patent allows us to create conditions for cost-effective and responsive overheating alarms. The solution is useful in temperature monitoring for, among other things, mobile phone chargers, batteries and fuse boxes, says Niklas Kvist, Head of Sales and Engineering JonDeTech.
The company will evaluate possible patent protection in other important markets.
