Project Abstract
Todayis thermostats and humidity sensors are bulky and/or expensive to manufacture. Cratlon has filed patents on an innovative single-chip version a semiconductor humidity and temperature sensor which can be used in industrial commercial and residential areas for energy saving environmental control improved air quality and elimination of sick building syndrome. The goal of this project is to achieve a first working prototype of the chip. Achieving this would give Cratlon huge potential for creating high-value employment in Ireland and for export sales worldwide to Controls companies. We have already received international publicity (EETIMES EDN) for our wireless software innovations and would equally publicise any such new sensor as part of our international marketing strategy.
