    Abstract: Provided are a temperature measurement apparatus, a biometric detection assembly, and a wearable device. The temperature measurement apparatus comprises a housing, a temperature measurement component and an elastic component. The temperature measurement component is used for measuring the temperature of a measured object. The temperature measurement component can move relative to the housing, and the elastic component is arranged between the housing and the temperature measurement component. When the temperature measurement component comes into contact with the measured object, the temperature measurement component can move relative to the housing, such that the elastic component is compressed, and a restoring force of the elastic component acts on the temperature measurement component to cause the temperature measurement component to tend to move towards the measured object, thereby facilitating contact between the temperature measurement component and the measured object, improving the contact stability, and making a measurement result of the temperature measurement apparatus more accurate.

    Abstract: An on-body sensing system (30) comprises a plurality of skin interface elements for coupling electrical signals to and from the body. The system is adapted to derive an indication of a position of at least one positionable interface unit (32) based on transmission of signals between the positionable unit and a set of spatially separated reference units (34), the reference units being positioned at a set of known locations on the body. Transmitted signals are sensed at multiple pairs (52) of electrodes on each reference unit and signal characteristics derived for each pair, and based on this a direction of arrival of the signal determined. By collating all of the measured arrival angles, and by reference to a reference dataset containing information indicative of known signal arrival angles when signals are transmitted internally between the reference units themselves, an indication of position of the positionable unit is derived.

    Abstract: A method of preventing or suppressing a false alarm during administration of food or medicine to a human or animal through a feeding tube having one or more sensors that generate a signal, comprises analyzing the signals to determine whether food or medicine is being administered and, if it is determined that food or medicine is present, preventing or suppressing an alarm. In a further step, the time and length of administration of food or medicine is recorded. When the feeding tube has at least two temperature sensors, differences in the temperatures recorded for the different temperature sensors indicate that food or medicine was administered. In a case where there is only one temperature sensor, the rate and extent of any temperature change of temperatures recorded from that temperature sensor are compared to an algorithm to determine whether feeding occurred. If the feeding tube has two or more electrodes that sense a change in impedance (galvanic or non-galvanic), that change indicates whether food or medicine is being administered. The signals are analyzed by a processor, monitor, or controller that generates an alarm signal.
