  • Patent number: 8725444
    Abstract: A thermometer includes a first surface temperature measurement unit; a first reference temperature measurement unit; a second surface temperature measurement unit; a second reference temperature measurement unit; a temperature correction unit that calculates a mounting positional difference between the first and second surface temperature measurement units from a measurement subject and a mounting positional difference between the first and second reference temperature measurement units from the measurement subject in terms of temperature differences that compensate for temperature dependence, thus correcting the first surface temperature and first reference temperature, or the second surface temperature and second reference temperature; and a core temperature calculation unit that calculates a core temperature of the measurement subject using the first surface temperature and first reference temperature or the second surface temperature and second reference temperature corrected by the temperature correction

  • Publication number: 20120109571
    Abstract: A temperature measurement device includes a temperature measurement part, a calculation part, and a control part for controlling the operation of the temperature measurement part and the calculation part; wherein the temperature measurement part has a substrate having a first surface as a contact surface with a measured body, and a second surface as an environment-lateral surface which is opposite the first surface; a first temperature sensor; a second temperature sensor; and a third temperature sensor; and the first temperature sensor, the second temperature sensor, and the third temperature sensor measure a first temperature, a second temperature, and a third temperature a plurality of times under conditions in which the temperature of the environment varies; and the calculation part calculates a deep temperature in a deep part of the measured body by using the measured temperatures.
