Abstract
For a firefighter or for an emergency rescue worker, an earpiece comprising a speaker, a microphone, and a temperature sensor comprises a programmable chip, which is programmed to sound an alarm via the speaker if and only if a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor equals or exceeds a preset temperature. The speaker and the microphone provide for audible communication between a wearer and another.
Claims6
An earpiece comprising a speaker and a temperature sensor, the earpiece being programmable, and being programmed
- (a) to store a preset temperature,
- (b) to receive a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor,
- (c) to compare the sensed and preset temperatures, and
- (d) if the sensed temperature equals or exceeds the preset temperature, then to sound an alarm via the speaker, but
- (e) if the sensed temperature does not equal or exceed the preset temperature, then not to sound the alarm.
An earpiece comprising a speaker, being programmable, and being programmed
- (a) to store a preset temperature,
- (b) to receive a sensed temperature,
- (c) to compare the sensed and preset temperatures, and
- (d) if the sensed temperature equals or exceeds the preset temperature, then to sound an alarm via the speaker, but
- (e) if the sensed temperature does not equal or exceed the preset temperature, then not to sound the alarm.
An earpiece comprising a speaker, and a temperature sensor, the earpiece being programmable, and being programmed to sound an alarm via the speaker if a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor equals or exceeds a preset temperature;
- wherein the temperature sensor is located to sense a temperature of a wearer's ear canal.
