Abstract:
A thermal imaging accessory (TIA) is linked with a head-mounted smart device (HMSD) with a data display for displaying data for an eye of a user wearing the HMSD. The HMSD supports the TIA in an orientation where a field-of-view of a thermal imaging camera of the TIA is substantially in alignment with the field-of-view of an eye looking through the data display. The HMSD is configured to: link the TIA to the HMSD, activate a thermal imaging application on the HMSD to receive data from the TIA and display it on an HMSD data display, receive thermal imaging data of a target from the TIA, process the thermal imaging data received from the TIA, and initiate a display of the processed thermal imaging data on the HMSD data display.
Abstract:
Infrared imaging devices are provided which are configured to implement side-scan infrared imaging for, e.g.,. medical applications. For example, an imaging device includes a.ring-shaped detector element comprising a circular array of infrared detectors configured to detect thermal infrared radiation, and a focusing element configured to focus incident infrared radiation towards the circular array of infrared detectors. The imaging device can be an ingestible imaging device (e.g., swallowable camera) or the imaging device can be implemented as part of an endoscope device, for example.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a hazard detector may include a housing having a back plate and a front casing coupled therewith to define an interior space within which various components are contained. The components may include an alarm device and a hazard sensor that is configured to detect a potentially hazardous condition to trigger the alarm device. A cover plate may be coupled with the housing and may face an occupant of a room in which the hazard detector is positioned. The cover plate may include a relatively large population of relatively small openings that are positioned, configured, and dimensioned so that internal components are substantially hidden from view of the occupant while air is allowed to substantially freely flow through the cover plate. A collective area of the openings may be at least 30% of the total area of the cover plate.

Abstract:
A wall-mountable programmable electronic thermostat for controlling an HVAC system is described. The thermostat includes a circular wall-mountable backplate with a central opening to allow for the passage of HVAC wires for electrical connection to the thermostat. The head unit body is also circular and is removeably mountable to the back plate. A plurality of wedge-shaped wiring terminals are mounted on the backplate for making a tool-free connection to HVAC wires. Each wiring terminal has button that a user can depress while a wire is inserted in a wire hole. The terminals are arranged along one or more circular arcs about the central opening of the backplate such that the wire holes face the central opening and the buttons are located close to the outer periphery of the backplate.
Abstract:
A user-friendly, network-connected learning thermostat is described. The thermostat is made up of (1) a wall-mountable backplate that includes a low-power consuming microcontroller used for activities such as polling sensors and switching on and off the HVAC functions, and (2) separable head unit that includes a higher-power consuming microprocessor, color LCD backlit display, user input devices, and wireless communications modules. The thermostat also includes a rechargeable battery and power-stealing circuitry adapted to harvest power from HVAC triggering circuits. By maintaining the microprocessor in a sleep state often compared to the lower-power microcontroller, high-power consuming activities, such as learning computations, wireless network communications and interfacing with a user, can be temporarily performed by the microprocessor even though the activities use energy at a greater rate than is available from the power stealing circuitry.
Abstract:
In a multi-sensing, wirelessly communicating learning thermostat that uses power-harvesting to charge an internal battery, methods are disclosed for ensuring that the battery does not become depleted or damaged while at the same time ensuring selected levels of thermostat functionality. Battery charge status is monitored to determine whether the present rate of power usage needs to be stemmed. If the present rate of power usage needs to be stemmed, then a progression of performance levels and/or functionalities are scaled back according to a predetermined progressive power conservation algorithm. In a less preferred embodiment, there is a simple progressive shutdown of functionalities turned off in sequence until the desired amount of discharge stemming is reached. Battery charge preservation measures are also described for cases when an interruption of external supply power used to recharge the battery is detected.

Die Temperaturmessvorrichtungen (4) sind zum Beispiel ausgebildet, die Temperatur berührungslos durch Detektion von elektromagnetischer Strahlung zu messen oder die Temperatur eines durch eine Wärmequelle (5, 6, 7) erwärmbaren Innenraums (11) des Instruments (1, 30, 61) zu messen. Die Temperaturmessvorrichtungen können zum Beispiel als elektrische Temperaturmessvorrichtungen (12) ausgebildet sein oder ein magnetisches Material (62) aufweisen, dessen magnetische Eigenschaft temperaturabhängig ist und / oder einen temperaturabhängigen Verlauf aufweist. Die Temperaturmessvorrichtung (34) kann zum Beispiel eine elektrische Schaltvorrichtung (35) und eine Signalvorrichtung (36, 36A) umfassen, um die Signalvorrichtung (36, 36A) zumindest zwischen einem ersten Signalzustand und einem zweiten Signalzustand zu schalten, wenn ein Temperaturgrenzwert erreicht oder über- oder unterschritten wird.
