Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring the core temperature of an animal or human. Emissions from the eyeball are detected, at one or more wavelengths selected on the basis of various factors, including the ability of that wavelength to reach the interior of the eyeball. An illumination marker shines a spot of light on the eyeball, such that the spot corresponds to the area from which emissions are being detected.

Abstract: This invention is a micromachined sensor pixel structure that can be fabricated either as a discrete sensor or in array form with application to thermal sensing of radiation received from various wavelength emitters. The transmissivity of a thermally-isolated microplatform is a sensitive function of temperature. This transmissivity is modulated by incident radiation from sources including infrared sources. The transmissivity of a micromachined structure is interrogated by means of an optical carrier. Readout is obtained by means of conventional silicon optical sensers or imagers. A multiplicity of micromachined pixels can be tailored for specific wavelengths permitting the array to operate as a multispectral imager with windows ranging from ultraviolet to millimeter wavelengths.
