摘要:
Methods, apparatus, and systems are provided for measuring the supply of a consumable product/energy source, such as electrical power, to a facility over time and analyzing the measurements to determine the consumption or supply of the product by one or more loads and/or sources in the facility, and to determine induced and residual heat flow through the facility's envelope. Various aspects compare the measured supply of the consumable product to a database of consumption signatures, which characterize access to the consumable product by particular users. Operating conditions and facility characteristics, such as temperatures, load factors, insulation factors, etc., may be further considered in determining a particular user's access of the consumable product. To aid in the controlling of energy use, thermal resistance factors of the building are determined, which are based on the induced and residual heat flow through the facility.

摘要:
Because reprocessing or refurbishing of physiological sensors reuses large portions of an existing sensor, the material costs for refurbishing sensors is significantly lower than the material costs for making an entirely new sensor. Typically, existing reprocessors replace only the adhesive portion of an adhesive physiological sensor and reuse the sensing components. However, re-using the sensing components can reduce the reliability of the refurbished sensor and/or reduce the number of sensors eligible for refurbishing due to out-of-specification sensor components. It is therefore desirable to provide a process for refurbishing physiological sensors that replaces the sensing components of the sensor. While sensing components are replaced, generally, sensor cable and/or patient monitor attachments are retained, resulting in cost savings over producing new sensors.

The present disclosure relates to a composite material for a temperature sensor, and a method of manufacturing the temperature sensor using the same. The composite material according to the disclosure may contain four or more kinds of metal oxides that are combined with highly insulating materials, thereby producing a material with semiconductor-like properties that makes it possible to easily and accurately measure a temperature even at a high temperature in the range of 500° C. and above. Furthermore, unlike a conventional temperature sensors in which an electrode is printed/plated on the device surface, the sensor of the disclosure includes electrode wires with a predetermined diameter that are inserted into the metal oxide of the temperature sensor during a process in which the metal oxide is press-molded to form the temperature sensor so the electrode wires are prevented from becoming disconnected from the device.

A method of creating an improved sensitivity capacitive fingerprint sensor involves forming vias from a first side of a sensor chip having an array of capacitive sensors, making the vias electrically conductive, and attaching a cover plate over the first side of the sensor chip spaced from the sensor chip by a distance of less than 25 μm. An improved sensitivity capacitive fingerprint sensor has a capacitive sensor array including multiple sensor cells and electrically conductive, through-chip vias extending from connection points for sensor cell circuitry to a back side of the capacitive sensor array, a chip including active detection circuitry and electrical connection points, the electrical connection points being respectively connected to corresponding ones of the sensor cell circuitry connection points, and a cover plate, disposed above the sensor cells at a spacing of less than 25 μm.

A low-profile temperature sensor probe is disclosed as including a probe circuit subassembly having a temperature sensing thermistor, the subassembly being overmolded with a durable insulating material to form the probe body. The probe body forms a connector block portion and a flexible extension portion. The flexible extension portion enables the sensor probe to conform to the surface of the object to be sensed without undue strain on the components. The thermistor element is located in a protective pocket and positioned relative the probe body to ensure direct contact with the object to be sensed. The connector block is configured to accommodate a standard plug-in type electrical connector.

An ultrasound transducer includes an array of PZT elements mounted on a non-recessed distal surface of a backing block. Between each element and the backing block is a conductive region formed as a portion of a metallic layer sputtered onto the distal surface. Traces on a longitudinally extending circuit board—preferably, a substantially rigid printed circuit board, which may be embedded within the block—connect the conductive region, and thus the PZT element, with any conventional external ultrasound imaging system. A substantially “T” or “inverted-L” shaped electrode is thereby formed for each element, with no need for soldering. At least one longitudinally extending metallic member mounted on a respective lateral surface of the backing block forms a heat sink and a common electrical ground. A thermally and electrically conductive layer, such as of foil, transfers heat from at least one matching layer mounted on the elements to the metallic member.
