Abstract: Packages for wireless temperature sensor nodes are described. These wireless temperature sensor nodes are suitable for sensing the temperature of remote objects, such as objects that are difficult to access. These packages are designed to enhance the sensor's ability to sense temperature. For example, these packages may be designed to provide a low thermal resistance path between the object and the temperature sensor, a high thermal resistance between an antenna of the wireless temperature sensor node and the object, and at least in some embodiments, immunity to vibrations. One such package includes means for providing a thermal conductive path from the temperature sensor to a thermally conductive support in contact with the object (for example with a thermal resistance less than 10 K/W), and means for thermally conductively decoupling the circuit board from the thermally conductive support (for example by at least 100 K/W).

Abstract: A clamp includes first and second parts, each of the parts having a circular central section and a pair of straight extensions extending away from the circular central section in opposite directions. In the first part the holes are closed holes, while in the second part the holes are open holes, connected by slots to an upper edge of the part. Bolts may be pre-located through the closed holes, with nuts threaded onto the bolts, but not tightened. The pre-placed bolts may be received through the slots and into the open holes of the second part. The nuts may then be tightened against the second part to clamp the circular central sections on opposite sides of a circular object, such as a vertical pipe run, between the parts. According to a variant, the bolts are permanently secured to the first part so as to prevent rotation of the bolts.
