  • Patent number: 11867561
    Abstract: A method for operating a thermal imaging camera includes measuring two-dimensional temperature information including a thermal image of a setting using an infrared detector array of the thermal imaging camera, the infrared detector array including a plurality of pixels sensitive to infrared radiation. At least one of ambient humidity information and ambient air temperature information is provided. An evaluation device is used to calculate two-dimensional information about a mold formation risk. The method includes generating a mold risk map of the setting using a mold growth model and using the calculated two-dimensional temperature information, and the provided at least one of ambient humidity information and ambient air temperature information.

  • Patent number: 11539889
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for the noise optimization of a camera, in particular a handheld thermal imaging camera. Images are captured by means of the camera in at least one method step; at least one movement characteristic variable is detected by means of at least one sensor unit of the camera in at least one method step; and image data of captured images is averaged by means of a computing unit of the camera in at least one method step. At least a number of images to be averaged are determined by means of the computing unit of the camera at least on the basis of an intensity of the detected movement characteristic variable, in particular a change rate, in at least one method step.

  • Patent number: 10281334
    Abstract: A temperature measurement appliance for contactless temperature measurement, in particular a handheld temperature measurement appliance, includes a housing and at least one sensor that is disposed on the housing. The at least one sensor is configured to measure one or more of a relative air humidity and an ambient temperature. The temperature measurement appliance further includes at least one protective cap that is configured to be reversibly arranged on the temperature measurement appliance so as to mechanically protect the at least one sensor. The temperature measurement appliance further includes one or more features arranged on the temperature measurement appliance that are configured to detect an arranged state of the at least one protective cap. A method for operating the temperature measurement appliance includes detecting the arranged state of the protective cap on the temperature measurement appliance.

  • Patent number: 9482600
    Abstract: A sample collection unit for microbiological air analysis includes a housing and a sample treatment path. The housing has a sample inlet opening, an optical window, and an air outlet opening. The sample treatment path has a conjugation pad, and a test strip with a test area and an absorber section. The sample collection unit also has a device configured to receive a container for a solvent, and a device configured to release the solvent. The sample collection unit is preferably configured as a disposable component in the form of a cartridge. Integration of the container for the solvent in the sample collection unit permits simplification and automation of the corresponding sampling method.
