What changed
USPTO issued Patent US12605289B2 to SINTOKOGIO, LTD. for a device that determines excretion type by comparing gas concentrations from two spatially-separated sensors. The device uses at least one processor to analyze first and second gas concentrations and classify the type of excretion.
