Abstract: To provide a temperature sensor unit and a body core thermometer making it possible to produce in low costs. The temperature sensor unit (1) is used to measure a deep part body temperature Ti as a body core temperature of a testee. The temperature sensor unit (1) comprises at a measurement face side facing a body surface of the testee first-fourth temperature sensors (111-114) for measuring the body surface of the testee. Among the first and the second temperature sensors (111, 112), the first thermal resistor (121) is disposed only at the measurement face side of the first temperature sensor (111). Furthermore, the first temperature sensor (111) and the second temperature sensors (112) are disposed proximally such that a temperature Ti at the measurement face side of the first thermal resistor (121) becomes approximately equal to a temperature T2 measured by the second temperature sensor (112).

Abstract: Over an information input space to which an information inputting person comes, a pair of near-infrared light illuminators are arranged in such a manner that the illumination ranges thereof are adjusted so as to illuminate the information inputting person from different directions. A pair of near-infrared-light-sensitive video cameras are also arranged in different positions so as to correspond to the illuminators. The image pickup range of the video cameras is adjusted so that it is out of the range on the floor surface illuminated by the corresponding illuminator, while the information inputting person is within the image pickup range. A controller allows one illuminator at a time to be switched on/off. An image of the information inputting person is picked up by the video camera corresponding to the switched-on illuminator.

Abstract: An apparatus for using hot humid air to prevent the spread of fruit fly infestation in fruits and vegetables. The apparatus includes a treating room, an air chamber located above the treating room and communicating therewith, a temperature and humidity regulator, and a ventilation arrangement. The apparatus allows accurate and uniform control of temperature and humidity, thereby minimizing damage to the treated fruits and vegetables.
