Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for remotely and, optionally, continuously, reading a temperature of an object, such as a human. In one embodiment, a temperature sensor patch comprises: a sensor circuit, the sensor circuit including: a radiofrequency identification (RFID) chip; and an antenna; and a layer of base material, the sensor circuit being in the layer of material and the layer of base material being configured to permit a signal transfer between the sensor circuit and a surrounding environment.
Claims20
A passive temperature sensor patch, comprising:
- a sensor circuit, the sensor circuit including:
- a radiofrequency identification (RFID) chip;
- and
- a dipole antenna;
- and
- a layer of base material, the sensor circuit being in the layer of base material and the layer of base material being configured to permit a signal transfer between the sensor circuit and a surrounding environment.
passive temperature sensor patch of claim 5, wherein each of the plurality of inductors has a length of approximately 10.2 mm.
The passive temperature sensor patch of claim 6, wherein a distance between outermost inductors of the plurality of inductors is approximately 10.3 mm.
A temperature monitoring system, the temperature monitoring system comprising:
- a passive temperature sensor patch including:
- a sensor circuit having a radiofrequency (RFID) chip and a dipole antenna;
- and
- a layer of base material, the sensor circuit being in the layer of base material and the layer of base material being configured to permit a signal transfer between the sensor circuit and a surrounding environment;
- and
- a reader unit including:
- at least one antenna, the at least one antenna being configured to send and receive radiofrequency signals to and from the passive temperature sensor patch;
- and
- a central processing unit (CPU), the CPU being programmed to correlate a temperature sensor code value in a radiofrequency signal received from the passive temperature sensor patch to a temperature.
