Wireless Transmission of Temperature Data for a Geographic Area

Номер: US20120197585A1
Автор: Francesco Pompei, Janette H. Lee, Jason N. Jarboe
Принадлежит: Exergen Corp

A user obtains an individual's body temperature data and transmits the data to a medical monitor (e.g., a medical device) for display. Additional data includes a timestamp and location of the body temperature data. Once the data is transmitted, a user may view the medical monitor for a temperature reading. For example, a doctor may take a patient's temperature and the temperature reading is displayed on a medical monitor. The body temperature data of each patient is detected using a preferred temperature detector, such as a temporal artery thermometer using an arterial heat balance approach. After collecting an individual's body temperature data, the body temperature data can be transferred to a processor. By sending body temperature data for many individuals for a geographic region, the processor can identify a pattern (e.g., a pandemic) in the body temperature data.

A system for monitoring thermal comfort of a room. Sensor data concerning temperature, relative humidity, air speed and air flow may be collected from the room. The sensor data may provide thermal comfort level information about the room. The level information may be quantified in terms of a thermal comfort level index, such as a predicted mean vote, which can be used to identify one or more thermal comfort levels in the room with a numerical measure. The one or more levels may be portrayed as a visualization in terms of a 3D plot of temperature, humidity and air speed, several 2D plots, a dashboard, or other items. The visualization may easily enable one to see where setpoint adjustment is possible in a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system to save energy while maintaining thermal comfort acceptable to occupants in the room, whether during a heating season or a cooling season.

Принадлежит: FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR INC

A thermal sensor system including at least one thermal sensor, a voltage control network, a current gain network, a current compare sensor, and a controller. The voltage control network applies reference and delta voltage levels to a thermal sensor, which develops reference and delta current signals. The current gain network is used to adjust current gain. The current compare sensor is responsive to the reference and delta current signals and provides a comparison metric. The controller selects a temperature subrange and controls the current gain network to adjust the gain of the delta current signal to determine a gain differential value indicative of the temperature. The controller may select from among different sized thermal sensors, current mode gain values, and control voltages corresponding with each of multiple temperature subranges. Any one or more of these parameters may be adjusted to adjust an operating point for selecting a corresponding temperature subrange.

The invention relates to a multipoint sensor for determining a temperature profile of a medium and to a method for producing said multipoint sensor. The multipoint sensor includes a tubular sheath having a closed end region; at least two cylindrical spacers produced from a material having a high thermal conductivity and arranged in an axially-spaced manner in the interior of the sheath. Each spacer includes a recess for holding a temperature-sensitive component of an elongate temperature sensor. Each spacer, with the exception of the spacer closest to the closed end region, has through-bores for feeding through the elongate temperature sensors fastened to the preceding spacers. The number of through-bores of a spacer corresponds to the number of preceding spacers. A filling material, is arranged between the spacers and surrounds each of the elongate temperature sensors. The filling material has a lower thermal conductivity than the material of the spacers.
