Abstract: Various embodiments include heat and volatile-organic-compounds detecting systems. In one example, the heat-detecting system includes at least one heat sensor mounted externally to a device, such as a local power-box (LPB). The heat sensor has an area-of-detection to detect heat emitted from at least one face of the LPB at one or more locations. The heat-detecting system also includes a high-absorptance infrared-collector (HAIC) formed within the LPB to collect excessive heat generated by a component within the LPB. The excessive heat is correlated to a pre-determined temperature level, and a temperature of the collected excessive heat is measured by the heat sensor. Each of the heat sensor and the HAIC are coupled to a control module. Other apparatuses, designs, and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for using thermal imaging to configure and/or augment temperature regulation operations within a property. In some implementations, a computing device obtains a thermal image of a region of a property. The thermal image identifies at least a surface within the region. A surface temperature of the surface is determined. An ambient temperature for the region is determined based at least on the surface temperature. The one or more temperature controls for the region are adjusted based at least on the ambient temperature.

Abstract: A cartridge for an e-vaping device includes an infrared sensor configured to measure infrared radiation emitted by at least a portion of a heating element coupled to a dispensing interface in the cartridge. The field of view of the infrared sensor may encompass an entirety of the heating element. The infrared sensor may be an infrared light emitting diode. The e-vaping device may include control circuitry configured to determine the temperature of the heating element based on sensor data generated by the infrared sensor and control the electrical power supplied to the cartridge based on the temperature of the heating element. The control circuitry may control the electrical power to maintain the temperature of the heating element below a threshold temperature. The control circuitry may determine the heating element temperature based on accessing at least a portion of the sensor data stored at a storage device in the cartridge.

Abstract: A non-contact infrared thermometer is used to measure the temperature of a target area of an object to be measured. The non-contact infrared thermometer comprises an infrared sensor, time-of-flight sensor, a microprocessor, and storage. The time-of-flight sensor is configured for measuring an actual temperature measurement distance from the target area. The microprocessor is electrically connected to the infrared sensor and the time-of-flight sensor. The storage is electrically connected to the microprocessor and configured to store the range of a predetermined distance for temperature measurement. If the actual temperature measurement distance falls within the range of the predetermined distance for temperature measurement, the infrared sensor measures the temperature of the target area of the object to be measured.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an infrared sensor structure, comprises a cantilever switch array, the cantilever switch array comprises cantilever switches, and each cantilever switch comprises a cantilever beam and a switch corresponding to the cantilever beam, vertical heights from the cantilever beams to the switches in different cantilever switches are different from each other, when the cantilever beams are deformed towards the switches and connect to the switches, the switches turn on; wherein, deformations of different cantilever beams produced by absorbing infrared signal are different from each other, the intensity of the infrared signal can be quantified by number of the switches on, so as to realize detection of the infrared signal. The manufacturing of the infrared sensor structure in the present disclosure can be compatible with the existing semiconductor CMOS process.

Abstract: A method, controller, computer program, and computer program product are provided for determining a health condition of an animal by capturing a thermographic image of at least one portion of the animal and capturing a visible light image of the at least one portion of the animal, the visible light image corresponding to the thermographic image. The method further includes determining at least one surface property of the at least one portion of the animal based on the visible light image, adjusting the thermographic image to compensate for impact of the determined at least one surface property, and determining the health condition of the animal based on the adjusted thermographic image.

Abstract: An optical assembly may include a thermal sensor and a temperature source between the optical assembly and a viewing area of the thermal sensor. The temperature source may provide a first reference temperature and a second reference temperature. A controller may cause the thermal sensor to sense thermal images of the temperature source at a first reference temperature and a second reference temperature and determine a contamination level of the optical assembly or a damage to the optical assembly based on the thermal images.
