Benefits of technology

This patent describes a non-contact thermometer that can measure the temperature of a person by using electromagnetic energy from both the person's tympanic and forehead sources. The thermometer has a computer-controlled processor that calculates the final temperature based on the first and second temperature readings, and displays it for easy reading. The apparatus is housed in a compact design and includes a non-contact sensor, printed circuit board, and display device. The invention allows for accurate and non-invasive temperature measurement in a fast and convenient way.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional non-contact digital thermometers do not provide temperature measurement of both tympanic aspects and forehead aspects of a subject.

Abstract

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some implementations a non-contact thermometer uses infrared readings from both a tympanic source and a forehead source to determine temperature of a human.

Description

FIELD[0001]This disclosure relates generally to digital thermometers, and more particularly to dual tympanic and forehead temperature measurement by a non-contact sensor.BACKGROUND[0002]Conventional non-contact digital thermometers do not provide temperature measurement of both tympanic aspects and forehead aspects of a subject.BRIEF DESCRIPTION[0003]In one aspect, a non-contact thermometer having computer executable instructions to control a dual tympanic and forehead electronic thermometer, the computer executable instructions capable of directing a processor to determine a first temperature of a subject from electromagnetic energy of a tympanic source point, determine a second temperature of the subject from electromagnetic energy of a forehead source point, determine a final temperature of the subject from the first temperature and the second temperature, and display the final temperature.[0004]In another aspect, an apparatus to measure temperature that includes a housing, a non...
