| 20080273573 | DETECTION DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR DETECTING A TEMPERATURE OF AN OBJECT - A detection device is provided for detecting a temperature of an object, especially of a living being. The detection device may be connected to at least one temperature sensor and is designed to send a current for detecting the temperature to the temperature sensor and to receive at least one temperature signal, which represents a temperature of the temperature sensor. The detection device is designed to generate a temperature signal, which represents the temperature of the object, as a function of the temperature signal of the temperature sensor, and to send same on the output side. The detection device is designed to generate a heating current and to send the heating current to the temperature sensor during a heating time period, so that a total current, comprising the current for detecting the temperature and the heating current, is greater than the current for detecting the temperature, and thus to heat the temperature sensor. | 11-06-2008 |
| 20090016408 | SYSTEM FOR EXTENDING THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE OF HIGH POWER DEVICES - A method and system for efficiently extending the operating temperature range of high power components within a system/device. An embedded monitor measures local temperatures such as junction temperatures of components. When the measured temperature is less than the lowest operational temperature threshold of the component, temperature control logic initiates pre-heating to raise the component's temperature to an operational level, utilizing a heating source. The component (or device) is made operational only when the temperature is at or above the operational level. The temperature control logic maintains the operational temperature of the component using the high power dissipated by components within the operating system/device as a self heating source. If self heating is unable to maintain the operational temperature, the heating source is utilized to assist in maintaining the component's operational temperature, and thereby extends the useable operational temperature range of the system in which the components are employed. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090285260 | THERMOMETER HEATER AND THERMISTOR - A thermometric apparatus for determining a patient's temperature having a elongated sensing probe that is connected to a base housing. The insertion tip of the probe contains a outer shell and a spaced apart inner shell. The outer surface of the inner shell has a heater that is fabricated of a resistive thick film material and a heat sensor mounted thereon. The heater and the heat sensor are connected to a pair of thick film conductive traces which in turn are electrically attached by a flexible circuit board to leads running back to the base housing. The space between the two shells is filled by a thermally conductive epoxy. | 11-19-2009 |

| 20100329303 | Method to Control the Work of Electronic Thermometer by Using the Position of Probe and the Apparatus Composed of - The invention discloses a method to control the work of electronic thermometer by using the position of probe. The probe incased in a disposable sheath, wherein the pre-heating mechanism in the probe and the control switch is connected with the host of the electronic thermometer by wires; and by using the axial reciprocating motion of the probe to trigger the control switch to initiate the electronic thermometer. When using the invention, we use the movement for the assembling of the sheath to initiate the hearting process and measurement, to ensure that the disposable sheath is assembled on the probe, and then execute the measurement, so as to eliminate the possibility of cross infection completely. The invention also exempts the requirement for the users to the return back of the probe into the cavity after use, and brings convenience for the users: Meanwhile, the equipment structure is simple, and the machinery assembles are few by comparison, which effectively decrease the production cost. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20110243187 | Pre-heat type clinical thermometer - A pre-heat type clinical thermometer includes a pre-heat box, which is provided with an external heating module, a first terminal set and a control circuit, and a thermometer, which has a second terminal set, a temperature measurement module and an internal heating module. When the thermometer is inserted into the pre-heat box, the first terminal set and the second terminal set are electrically connected, and the control circuit controls the supply of electricity to the external heating module and the internal heating module to pre-heat the sensor tip and front neck of the thermometer subject to the temperature level of the sensor tip measured by the temperature measurement module. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20140219315 | CANTILEVERED PROBE DETECTOR WITH PIEZOELECTRIC ELEMENT - A disclosed chemical detection system for detecting a target material, such as an explosive material, can include a cantilevered probe, a probe heater coupled to the cantilevered probe, and a piezoelectric element disposed on the cantilevered probe. The piezoelectric element can be configured as a detector and/or an actuator. Detection can include, for example, detecting a movement of the cantilevered probe or a property of the cantilevered probe. The movement or a change in the property of the cantilevered probe can occur, for example, by adsorption of the target material, desorption of the target material, reaction of the target material and/or phase change of the target material. Examples of detectable movements and properties include temperature shifts, impedance shifts, and resonant frequency shifts of the cantilevered probe. The overall chemical detection system can be incorporated, for example, into a handheld explosive material detection system. | 08-07-2014 |
