Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some implementations a non-contact thermometer determines a temperature of a subject from a carotid source point of the subject.
Claims9
An apparatus to determine a body temperature from a carotid artery source point, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a non-contact electromagnetic sensor operably mounted to the housing, the non-contact electromagnetic sensor being operable to receive electromagnetic energy from the carotid artery source point of a subject and operable to generate a numerical representation of the electromagnetic energy of the carotid artery source point;
- a printed circuit board mounted in the housing, electrically coupled to the non-contact electromagnetic sensor and operable to determine the body temperature of the subject from the numerical representation of the electromagnetic energy of the carotid artery source point,
- wherein determining the body temperature of the subject includes calculating the body temperature in reference to a representation of a surface of the body, a numerical representation of the electromagnetic energy of the carotid source point, a mathematical formula of an ambient temperature reading, an ambient air temperature reading, a representation of a calibration difference and a bias in consideration of the temperature sensing mode;
- and
- a button operably coupled to the printed circuit board.
