Sensor and Method for Manufacturing a Sensor

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a sensor device and a method for its manufacture, where both the sensor layer and the housing are made from different types of biodegradable materials. These materials are derived exclusively from renewable resources or are chemically equivalent to materials from renewable sources, making the sensor environmentally friendly.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Medical or environmental sensors that are disposable after single use
• Biodegradable sensors for agricultural applications such as soil or crop monitoring
• Temporary sensors for environmental monitoring in protected or sensitive ecosystems
• Sensors for food packaging to monitor freshness, which biodegrade after use
• Wearable health sensors that do not contribute to electronic waste

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Reduces electronic and plastic waste through biodegradability
• Made from renewable resources, decreasing reliance on fossil fuels
• Environmentally friendly disposal; suitable for single-use applications without negative environmental impact
• Enables deployment in scenarios where retrieval or recycling of the sensor is impractical
• Supports sustainable technologies and eco-friendly product design
