Abstract:
A sterilization system consisting of a mobile emitter, a sensing subsystem and a data logging subsystem is described. The emitter has one or more UV emitting lamps or devices. The sensing system comprises at least one remote UV sensor and at least one door sensor. The door sensor comprises a safety shut off door detector and may contain an emergency stop detector and arming detector to protect people from being exposed to UV energy. The system has a remote control for starting, stopping and setting system parameters which include but are not limited to: treatment time, dosage, room size, room number, unit number, floor, facility name, operator name, operator identification number, password, default dosage values, dosage, and patient identification number. The number of treatments per unit of time can be maximized because of the use of incident light measurement.
Abstract:
A self-contained handheld infrared medical thermometer having an elongated probe (15) that is reciprocably movable between a retracted position, located fully within the thermometer housing (11), and an extended position, located exterior to the housing. When extended, the probe (15) is adapted for insertion into a patient's outer ear canal to measure the patient's body temperature. When the probe is retracted within the housing (11), a reference plate (21) is pivoted in front of the probe (15), to facilitate calibration. Advancement of the probe (15), to its extended, operative position automatically pivots the reference plate (21) away from the advancing probe (15) and, in addition, automatically advances a disposable protective cover (43), from a container (45) for a large number of such covers into a position where it automatically stretches over the advancing probe (15) to provide hygienic protection.
Abstract:
Un dispositif miniaturisé de surveillance du rayonnement ultraviolet comprend un senseur (10, 35), un intégrateur (22, 43) et une commande (17, 51). Le senseur (10, 35) détecte des rayons ultraviolets incidents et génère un signal détecteur proportionnel à l'ampleur de rayonnement. L'intégrateur (22, 43) intègre le signal détecteur selon une première fonction d'horloge en rapport avec l'effet cumulatif prévu du rayonnement sur la peau d'une personne, et génère un signal actif proportionnel à l'intégration. La commande (17, 51) surveille le signal actif et émet un avertissement lorsque celui-ci atteint un niveau de seuil en rapport avec le rayonnement commutatif optimum auquel on souhaite exposer la peau. L'intégrateur comprend une mémoire (16, 45) pour enregistrer l'intensité du signal actif et laisse cette intensité se réduire selon une deuxième fonction d'horloge en rapport avec la diminution prévue de l'effet résiduel de la dose antérieure de rayonnement sur la peau une fois qu'elle est éloignée de celui-ci ou vice-versa.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device includes a housing, a front cover defining a front side of the portable electronic device, a display stack below the front cover and comprising a plurality of display layers configured to produce a graphical output in a display region of the display stack, the graphical output visible through the front cover, and a light sensor module positioned at least partially within the housing and coupled to the display stack in the display region. The light sensor module may be configured to receive ambient light passing through the front cover and through the plurality of display layers and, while a blanking interval is positioned over the light sensor module, produce an output corresponding to the received ambient light, the portable electronic device configured to determine an ambient light value based at least in part on the output from the light sensor module.
Abstract:
Eyewear having monitoring capability, such as for radiation or motion, is disclosed. Radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation or light, can be measured by a detector. The measured radiation can then be used in providing radiation-related information to a user of the eyewear. Motion can be measure by a detector, and the measured motion can be used to determine whether the eyewear is being worn.
Abstract:
System for calculating the exposure to sun radiation received on the different parts of the body by a person, comprising a wearable device (1) that communicates with a telecommunication mobile device (2) and a remote computing unit (3) operatively connected to satellites (4) to receive georeferenced data related to solar irradiation over time and set to associate the solar irradiance data to the geographical position, the posture and the orientation of the person (P) or of parts of the person's body.
Abstract:
Eyewear having radiation monitoring capability is disclosed. Radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation or light, can be measured by a detector. The measured radiation can then be used in providing radiation-related information to a user of the eyewear. Advantageously, the user of the eyewear is able to easily monitor their exposure to radiation.
Abstract:
The exemplified systems, and method thereof, includes PLZT thin film (Pb0.95La0.05Zr0.54Ti0.46O3) paired with a bottom metal and top transparent conductive oxide, that forms a capacitor structure with enhanced photocurrent and power conversion efficiency. The exemplified systems use metal electrode (platinum) as bottom electrode and a transparent oxide (Indium Tin Oxide—ITO) as the top electrode. In some embodiments, the capacitor structure are used in a solar cells, ultraviolet sensors, or UV indexing sensors. In some embodiments, the capacitor structure are energy generation or for medical diagnostics (e.g., for skin care application).
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a housing and one or more processors. At least one proximity sensor component is operable with the one or more processors and includes an infrared signal receiver to receive an infrared emission from an object external to the housing. At least one proximity detector component is also operable with the one or more processors and includes a signal emitter and corresponding signal receiver. The one or more processors can actuate the at least one proximity detector component when the at least one proximity sensor component receives the infrared emission from the object.
