摘要:
The invention is directed to an infrared thermometer with a heatable probe head, in particular a clinical thermometer for taking a patient's temperature in the ear, and to a heatable protective cover. The probe head possesses a radiation inlet zone at its forward end. A heating element is also arranged there. The heating element is either connected to a protective cover adapted to be fitted over the probe head or secured to the forward end of the probe head.

The invention is directed to a process for manufacturing a protective cap which is adapted to be fitted to an ear canal temperature measurement probe of an infrared radiation thermometer and to be introduced into a body cavity. The protective cap (1) is formed of a base body (3) of plastic material having its one end open and its opposite end closed by a window film (7) transparent to infrared radiation. In a first step of the process, at least one hole (5) is made in a sheet-, film-, web- or plate-shaped base body material intended to form the base body (3). In a second step of the process, the perforated base body material (6) is covered at least in the area of the hole (5) with a window film (7) fabricated from a plastic material transparent to infrared radiation and joined to the base body material (6) in an immovable manner. Subsequently, this composite body is shaped into a protective cap (1) in a third step and, where applicable, said cap is processed to the final dimensions of the protective cap (1) in a fourth step. This enables a plurality of protective caps (1) to be manufactured as on a conveyor line very simply and in no time.

The invention is directed to a protective cap (2) for a temperature measurement probe (30) of an infrared radiation thermometer (1) that can be introduced into a body cavity (31). The protective cap (2) is comprised of a base body (12) shaped to fit the body cavity (31) and having a window (15) transparent to infrared radiation. The base body (12) is provided with additional structures (13; 18, 20) at least in parts to improve heat insulation between the temperature measurement probe (30) and the body cavity (31). This heat insulation of the temperature measurement probe (30) prevents measurement errors by the infrared radiation thermometer (1).

A hair removal system includes a hair removal device with a hair removal area such as a razor cartridge, a dry shaving hair removal area, an epilating area, or a laser hair removal area, each having a fluid delivery system with at least one gradient foam having a fluid and a applicator surface area open to the environment such that the fluid is passively dispensed onto a skin surface independent of gravity through said applicator surface area while a user is shaving or epilating. The fluid delivery system may be integrated via pins, glue or other locking mechanism onto the hair removal area (e.g. razor cartridge). A cap covers the gradient foam to prevent the foam from drying out. A fluid reservoir may be integrated in the hair removal system in the hair removal area or in a handle. The fluid reservoir serves to replenish fluid in the foam. The fluid may be any oil, soap, moisturizer or other suitable liquid for shave preparation or for providing post hair management related benefits. The hair removal device may be a razor, a dry shaver, an epilator or a laser (light based system).
摘要:
The invention is directed to a method for determining a temperature by means of a radiation thermometer with multiple infrared sensor elements detecting infrared radiation from different regions and delivering corresponding temperature signals, in particular to a method for taking a patient's temperature by means of an ear thermometer. The method of the present invention is based on the known fact that the tympanic membrane has a higher temperature than the ear canal. Hence part of the sensor elements, that is, those that view the tympanic membrane, will detect a higher temperature than the remaining sensor elements that view the ear canal. According to the present invention, for evaluation only the temperature signal of that sensor element is used that supplies the peak temperature value by comparison with the other sensor elements.

The invention is directed to a thermopile sensor and in particular to a radiation thermometer or a motion detector with a thermopile sensor. The thermopile sensor includes a thermopile supported in a housing. The thermal capacity of the cold and hot junctions of the thermopile including its supporting structure and the thermal conductivity of the supporting structure are mutually coordinated such that a change in the housing's temperature produces a change of equal magnitude in the cold and hot junctions' temperature, that is, no temperature gradients occur within the thermopile.

摘要:
A method of calibrating a radiation thermometer including a radiation sensor that is characterized by a sensitivity (S) and a temperature-responsive resistor that serves as an ambient temperature sensor, the temperature-responsive resistor having at a specified reference temperature a reference resistance (R0). The method includes the steps of using a first radiation standard having a known temperature TS(1); while the ambient temperature sensor is at a first ambient temperature TU(1), using the radiation thermometer to read the temperature of the first radiation standard; while using the radiation thermometer to read the temperature of the first radiation standard, measuring a first output signal U(1) of the radiation sensor; using a second radiation standard having a known temperature TS(2); while the ambient temperature sensor is at said first ambient temperature TU(1), using the radiation thermometer to read the temperature of the second radiation standard; while using the radiation thermometer to read the temperature of the second radiation standard, measuring a second output signal U(2) of the radiation sensor; and calibrating the radiation sensor and the ambient temperature sensor by using TS(1), TS(2) and the values obtained for U(1) and U(2) and without using any value for TU(1) that is derived from measuring an output of the ambient sensor, wherein the step of calibrating involves calculating at least one of the reference resistance (R0) of the ambient temperature sensor, the ambient temperature (Tu), and the sensitivity (S) of the radiation sensor.
