  • Patent number: 11988564
    Abstract: A temperature measurement device includes: a temperature sensor designed to measure a temperature, a thermo-generator forming, with the temperature sensor, what is known as a measurement surface, the thermo-generator being configured to convert thermal energy of the measurement surface into electrical energy, and the sensor being designed to measure a temperature of a sample in contact with the measurement surface, and an electronic board designed to receive the electrical energy converted by the thermo-generator and supply the temperature sensor, the device including the electronic board is positioned a non-zero distance away from the measurement surface in a direction perpendicular to the measurement surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2024

  • Patent number: 11307073
    Abstract: A device for measuring the speed or flow of a gas at a temperature different from an ambient temperature is provided, which includes: a first platform suspended by first arms above a support designed to be kept at an ambient temperature, the first arms comprising thermoelectric strips designed to supply a first voltage based on the difference between the temperatures of the first platform and the support; and a processing unit designed to supply the speed or flow measurement on the basis of the first voltage, the gas temperature and the ambient temperature.
