Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for detecting a physiological response based on multispectral data. In one embodiment, a system includes an inward-facing head-mounted thermal camera (CAM) that takes thermal measurements of a first region of interest (THROI1) on a user's face, and an inward-facing head-mounted visible-light camera (VCAM) that takes images of a second region of interest (IMROI2) on the face. The first and second regions of interest overlap, and the system includes a computer that detects the physiological response based on THROI1, IMROI2, and a model. Optionally, the model was trained based on previous THROI1 and IMROI2 of the user taken during different days. Optionally, the physiological response is indicative of an occurrence of an emotional state of the user, such as joy, fear, sadness or anger.

Abstract: A polishing method and a polishing apparatus which can increase a polishing rate and can control a polishing profile of a substrate being polished by adjusting a surface temperature of a polishing pad are disclosed. The polishing method for polishing a substrate by pressing the substrate against a polishing pad on a polishing table includes a pad temperature adjustment step of adjusting a surface temperature of the polishing pad, and a polishing step of polishing the substrate by pressing the substrate against the polishing pad having the adjusted surface temperature. In the pad temperature adjustment step, the surface temperature of a part of an area of the polishing pad, the area being to be brought in contact with the substrate, is adjusted during the polishing step so that the rate of temperature change of a temperature profile in a radial direction of the surface of the polishing pad becomes constant in the radial direction of the polishing pad.

Abstract: Wearable devices for taking symmetric thermal measurements. One device includes first and second thermal cameras physically coupled to a frame worn on a user's head. The first thermal camera takes thermal measurements of a first region of interest that covers at least a portion of the right side of the user's forehead. The second thermal camera takes thermal measurements of a second ROI that covers at least a portion of the left side of the user's forehead. Wherein the first and second thermal cameras are not in physical contact with their corresponding ROIs, and as a result of being coupled to the frame, the thermal cameras remain pointed at their corresponding ROIs when the user's head makes angular movements.

Abstract: A Thermal Imaging Sensor for providing a new innovative way for monitoring temperature in critical facilities. The thermal imaging sensor(s) connect to base units using wired or wireless connectivity. The thermal image data is transformed into numeric temperature data either by the sensor or the base unit. This image into numeric temperature data conversion allows for thermal data integration with monitoring, management and or automation applications using SNMP, Modbus, Bacnet, XML, JSON, HTTP, Serial over IP, any other IP based protocol or serial protocol so that the sensor can be used by monitoring and/or automation systems. With the present invention, a thermal imaging sensor is automatically recognized by applications as any other temperature sensor while having all the benefits from thermal imaging compared to traditional temperature sensors. It also connects to a base unit like any other regular sensor. The thermal imaging sensor in the present invention is not a standalone unit.

Abstract: According to embodiments of the present invention, a semiconductor substrate is formed on at least a portion of a surface of a semiconductor substrate. The emitting layer is excited for a first predetermined time period. A first luminescent intensity value of the emitting layer is determined. In response to exposing the semiconductor substrate and the emitting layer to a condition for a second predetermined time period, a second luminescent intensity value of the emitting layer is determined. A thermal profile of at least the portion of the surface of the semiconductor substrate is determined utilizing the first luminescent intensity value and the second luminescent intensity value of the emitting layer. The thermal profile at least reflects information about one or more of the condition and the semiconductor substrate subsequent to exposure to the condition.
