  • Patent number: 11378460
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for thermal detection. A thermal detection device includes a visual sensor, a thermal sensor (e.g., a thermopile array), a controller, a user interface, a display, and a removable and rechargeable battery pack. The thermal detection device also includes a plurality of additional software and hardware modules configured to perform or execute various functions and operations of the thermal detection device. An output from the visual sensor and an output from the thermal sensor are combined by the controller or the plurality of additional modules to generate a combined image for display on the display.

  • Patent number: 9121870
    Abstract: Clamp meter with detachable clamp and a clamp storage area. The clamp meter includes a clamp and a housing. The clamp includes a measurement end and a handle portion. The measurement end includes a first measurement portion and a second measurement portion. The handle portion includes a first handle and a second handle. The housing includes a recess configured to removably receive the clamp when the clamp is not in use. The housing is connected to the clamp via a cord. When the clamp is received in the recess, the first measurement portion and the second measurement portion are positioned completely within the recess, the first handle and the second handle extend at least partially from the recess, and the recess prevents the clamp from being used. The clamp is capable of being removed from the recess in a one-handed use position.
