  • Patent number: 11067452
    Abstract: A temperature measurement device having a thermopile temperature sensor and a proximity sensor, a mobile temperature measurement device, and a method for determining a corrected temperature with a temperature measurement device are described. In an implementation, a temperature measurement device includes a semiconductor device; a thermopile temperature sensor disposed on the semiconductor device, where the thermopile temperature sensor is configured to receive radiation from an object; a proximity sensor disposed on the semiconductor device, the proximity sensor configured to detect a distance between the thermopile temperature sensor and the object; and a controller configured determine a corrected temperature measurement using at least an indication of received radiation and an indication of distance between the thermopile temperature sensor and the object.

  • Patent number: 5211308
    Abstract: Paper is unwound from the inside diameter of a tubular roll of paper in a dispensing container, is threaded downwardly through a dispensing funnel installed in a hole in the bottom wall of the container, and is adapted to be pulled downwardly from the funnel and torn into individual hand wipers. The funnel is formed with three dispensing ports of different sizes to accommodate paper of different thicknesses and includes an angled lower end portion which promotes reliable tearing of the paper and causes a tail of predetermined length to be left extending from the funnel for use in the next dispensing operation. The angled lower end portion of the funnel may be pointed forwardly if the dispenser is mounted at a relatively high elevation and may be pointed rearwardly if the dispenser is mounted at a relatively low location. The funnel may be installed securely in holes of different diameters and used with bottom walls of different thicknesses.
