  • System and method for non-contact temperature sensing
    Patent number: 6840671
    Abstract: Disclosed is a temperature sensing device and system including a processor, a memory, and optics for collecting incident infrared energy to produce a temperature signal. The device and system function in accordance with a disclosed method to derive one or more signal parameters from the infrared energy, such as signal strength and signal dilution, and compare the parameter(s) with acceptable, pre-defined limits. A filtered or unfiltered temperature indication is provided if all parameters lies within pre-defined limits, and a different temperature indication is displayed if one or more parameters exceeds pre-defined limits.
