  • Patent number: 7354195
    Abstract: A temperature measuring device and a temperature measuring method are provided which are capable of obtaining precise measured temperature values with respect even to old persons, sucklings or infants, which device may be formed into a disposable type according to need, which method may be carried out using such a disposable type device according to need, and which enable precise temperature measurement in real time. An on-subject temperature measuring device 1, which is attached to a subject when a temperature of the subject is measured, receives a radio wave from a reader 2 as an external device and is thereby electrically powered. Using the electric power, temperature measurement is performed in the on-subject temperature measuring device 1. The results of the measurement are transmitted through radio waves to the reader 2 in the form of a temperature of the subject and ID data.

  • Publication number: 20050226310
    Abstract: An adhesive clinical thermometer pad is used in combination with a reader for reading temperature information of a patient from the thermometer pad. The pad includes a flexible main body of a generally flat shape, an adhesive layer formed on a rear surface of the main body, an antenna portion for receiving a radio wave emitted from the reader, an electric power generating portion for generating electric power from the radio wave received by the antenna portion, a temperature senor for measuring a body temperature of the patient, and an output portion for wirelessly outputting temperature information toward the reader. The antenna portion, the electric power generating portion, the temperature sensor and the output portion are embedded in the main body. The temperature information includes the measured temperature and an ID code given to the clinical thermometer pad. The output portion is operated by the electric power generated by the electric power generating portion.

  • Publication number: 20050163189
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a temperature information reader is used in combination with a temperature measuring pad to be attached to a surface of an object for measuring a temperature of the object. In some examples, the temperature measuring pad receives a radio wave, generates electric power from the received radio wave, measures the temperature of the object, and wirelessly outputs temperature information including the measured temperature and an ID code give to the temperature measuring pad toward the temperature information reader. The temperature information reader includes, e.g.

  • Publication number: 20050147151
    Abstract: A temperature measuring system includes, e.g., a temperature measuring pad configured to measure a temperature of an object on which the temperature measuring pad is to be disposed, and a reader configured to read temperature information including the measured temperature and an ID code given to the temperature measuring pad. The temperature measuring pad includes, e.g., an antenna portion for receiving a radio wave emitted from the reader, an electric power generating portion for generating electric power from the radio wave received by the antenna portion, a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the object and an output portion for wirelessly outputting the temperature information, the output portion being operated by the electric power generated by the electric power generating portion. The reader includes, e.g.
