Abstract:
A compact, ultra violet light radiation sensing device intended be used by a human being, the device having a casing (1, 14) and including structural elements of: an ultraviolet light radiation sensor (6) with associated microprocessor (7) on a printed circuit board (4), a display (5) on the printed circuit board (4), a battery (10), a piezo-ceramic element (15) to act as a sound causing element upon an electric signal being applied thereto, an insulator (12), and a plurality of contact springs (8; 9; 11) enabling electrical contact from the battery (10) to the printed circuit board (4) and to the piezo-ceramic element (15). The the piezo-ceramic element (15) is upon an impulse force or a tapping applied onto the device casing configured to deliver an electric voltage signal to the microprocessor (7) via the printed circuit board (4) to wake up the microprocessor from a power saving sleep mode and/or for user input to the microprocessor (7) as a function of tapping sequences interpretable by the microprocessor (7).
Abstract:
A system for non-invasive radiation dosimetry comprises (a) a patch, which upon application conforms itself to the curvature of the surface to which it is attached, that comprises radiation sensitive functional cells which, under the influence of radiation, undergo physical and/or chemical changes that are expressed as a response signal taking the form of a measureable and quantifiable alteration in absorbance of a part of the electromagnetic wave spectrum; (b) a camera system which captures, during the exposure to radiation, the relevant part of the electromagnetic spectrum, emitted in the environment and reflected on the patch, in the form of a digital picture, and, as such, allows quantification of the radiation-modulated patch-light interaction properties; and (c) a software algorithm - running on a control unit - which converts the digital picture into an estimate of the dose the patch was exposed to.
