Scenting Nebulizer With Remote Management and Capacitive Liquid Level Sensing

ActiveUS20150235546A1Minimizes maintenance serviceRemove dirtMachines/enginesAlarmsCapacitanceNebulizer
A scenting nebulizer is described that capacitively measures the level of scenting oil in a bottle in the nebulizer without ever contacting the oil in the bottle. In addition, such capacitively measured oil levels are measured at multiple vertical levels of the bottle of scenting oil. In actual operation the capacitively measured oil level readings are very frequently measured then averaged, and the averaged figures are stored. The stored, averaged figures are interpolated against previously stored, capacitance readings made when the scenting oil bottle is full and when there is no bottle. In this manner the level of the oil is accurately determined. A plurality of processor controlled scenting nebulizers are connected to a central computer and their individual oil levels and other operational information are forwarded to the central computer where appropriate maintenance for the individual nebulizers is scheduled. The operational settings operation of the nebulizers may be programmed from the central computer.

There is provided a structure to improve BSI global shutter efficiency. In a sensor pixel circuit, at least one strong electric field is formed at the position of a floating diffusion region to accordingly have the effect of shielding the floating diffusion region. Or, the semiconductor material from the floating diffusion node toward a light incident direction is removed in the manufacturing process such that a depletion region cannot be formed in this direction. Or, a reflection layer or a photoresist layer is formed in the light incident direction to block the light. In these ways, charges generated by the undesired noises are reduced, and noise charges are difficult to reach the floating diffusion region thereby improving the shutter efficiency.
