Patent number: 10054490Abstract: A medical thermometer including a curved mirror and a radiation sensor is disclosed. The radiation sensor is disposed relative to the mirror in a configuration whereby the mirror reflects away from the sensor radiation that passes through the radiation entrance and that is oriented outside a range of angles relative to the mirror, and reflects toward the sensor radiation that passes through the radiation entrance and that is oriented within a range of angles relative to the mirror.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Helen of Troy LimitedInventors: Aleksan Yildizyan, James Christopher Gorsich

Patent number: 10048134Abstract: A non-contact medical thermometer is disclosed that includes an IR sensor assembly having an IR sensor for sensing IR radiation from a target, a distance sensor configured to determine a distance of the thermometer from the target, and a memory component operatively coupled at least to the IR sensor assembly and the distance sensor. The memory component contains predetermined compensation information that relates to predetermined temperatures of targets and to predetermined distances from at least one predetermined target. A microprocessor is operatively coupled to the memory component. The microprocessor is configured to perform temperature calculations based on the IR radiation from the target, the distance of the thermometer from the target, and the predetermined compensation information.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Helen of Troy LimitedInventors: Aleksan Yildizyan, Jiawei Hu, Charles Squires, James Christopher Gorsich

Patent number: 9804035Abstract: A thermometer has temperature sensing tip, a processor taking temperature readings and determining a sensed temperature reading of the living being from the temperature sensing tip. The thermometer also includes a display and a backlight for lighting the display. The backlight is activated upon a command from the processor and the processor determines whether to activate the backlight based upon the temperature readings. The method embodiment can includes the steps of using the processor to monitor a temperature change indicated by a temperature sensing element. The processor then detects a temperature decrease and activates a first color light emitting element to backlight a display if the temperature decrease exceeds or equals a predetermined threshold. The thermometer is operable in one of a plurality of selectable operating modes, and the predetermined threshold is dependent upon the selected operating mode. For example, operating modes may depend on patient age range or measurement location.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Helen of Troy LimitedInventors: Aleksan Yildizyan, Rich Thrush, Kelly M. White, Amanda Jane Wilson, Ali Cem Yildirim, Richard McDuffie
