Abstract: A non-contact infrared (IR) thermometer for measuring temperature from the surface of an object includes an IR radiation sensor attached to a heating element and a thermal shield having an interior surface positioned within the sensor's field of view that has a high emissivity. An electronic circuit controlling the heating element maintains the temperatures of the sensor and shield substantially close to an anticipated surface temperature of the object. The IR radiation sensor is further thermally coupled to a reference temperature sensor. An optical system positioned in front of the shield focuses thermal radiation from the object on the surface of the sensor, while the shield prevents stray radiation from reaching the sensor. Signals from the IR and reference sensors are used to calculate the object's surface temperature.

Abstract: A sphygmomanometer with a cuff for use on a patient wrist, upper or lower arm incorporates an inflatable bladder and a support structure. The cuff is subdivided into two sections. The first section holds the bladder against an arterial side of the limb, while the second section abuts a non-arterial side of the limb and is mechanically coupled to the support structure. When the cuff is attached to the patient limb, the bladder is positioned to avoid receiving a gravitational force caused by the weight of the limb. Rather, the gravitational force is absorbed by the support structure in an interior area of the cuff removed from the bladder.

Abstract: An insertion detector for monitoring a position of a medical probe relative to a body cavity of a patient, the probe incorporates a proximity sensor that is responsive to a predetermined property of the patient's body. The proximity sensor may include a light emitter and a light detector. When the medical probe is inserted into the body cavity, a light flux between the light emitter and light detector is changed due to either obstruction by the cavity walls or reflection by the patient's skin. A response from the proximity sensor may be used to adjust a temperature measured from the body cavity to correct for errors due to non-insertion or partial insertion of the probe into the body cavity.

Abstract: An oral thermometer including a probe for insertion into the mouth of a user. The probe includes and an elongate first stem, a joint stem extending the first stem and disposed at a first angle to the first stem, and an elongate second stem extending from the joint stem and disposed at a second angle to the joint stem. The first angle open down and the second angle open up. The second stem includes a probe tip at a distal end thereof that is configured to be inserted into the mouth of a user. In operation the thermometer is operable to heat the probe tip to a pre-warmed temperature, detect an elevated temperature higher than the pre-warmed temperature when inserted in a user's mouth, and initiate a temperature reading upon detecting the elevated temperature.

Abstract: A probe cover for medical thermometer has a matching feature for preventing its use with an incompatible thermometer. A mechanical matching feature of the probe cover includes at least one of a fold, a step, or a series of holes or indentations that are respectively matched to a ridge, a valley or series of pins formed on the front end of a compatible thermometer. When applied to the compatible thermometer, the mechanical matching feature permits the probe cover to be fully seated on and retained by the probe, thereby placing the thermometer in condition for use. Alternatively, an opto-electronic matching feature of the probe cover includes a reflective layer for use with an opto-electronic detection circuit of a compatible thermometer. When applied to the compatible thermometer, the opto-electronic detection detects the reflective layer and places the compatible thermometer in an operational state for use.

Abstract: Air purifier containing an air blower and a rotating brush, such brush having long flexible bristles made of a material that is capable of developing negative triboelectric charge. During a part of the rotation cycle, the bristles move across a surface that can accumulate a positive charge. This cause the bristle to charge negatively. The air impurities are attracted to negatively charged bristles and discharged into a collecting bin.

Abstract: A continuous body core temperature monitor comprises a pliable ear plug that conforms to the shape of an ear canal and incorporates a temperature sensor that is clamped between the plug and the ear canal wall. The external surface of the plug is connected to an external temperature sensor and a heating element that compensate for a heat lost from the ear canal to the environment by maintaining the temperature gradient between the temperature sensor and the heating element close to zero.

Abstract: The detector for monitoring decrease in air flow rate due to air filter clogging. It is based on combination of three essential components: the air flow sensor, a threshold detector and an indicator. The air flow sensor is built in form of a novel thermo-anemometer which contains a thermistor, a heating element, and a thermal insulator. Temperature of the sensor is maintained above the air temperature by a constant value by means of an electronic servo circuit. The threshold detector is implemented either in a hardware or software. A novel design of a thermo-anemometer (closely related to a hot wire anemometer) automatically compensates for variations in the air temperatures. The thermo-anemometer triggers the threshold circuit when air flow rate drops below a preset level. For reduction of power consumption, the detector may employ two additional sensors: one is for detection of the blower operation and the other is a presence detector to enable the alarm in presence of people to perceive the alarm. The device automatically calibrates itself upon installation of a new or cleaned air filter. The applications include residential and commercial air conditioners, air heaters, internal combustion engines, vacuum cleaners and other systems where air filters are employed.
