  • Publication number: 20170248478
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for measuring the human body temperature. It comprises of an infrared temperature sensor for performing temperature sampling on a plurality M×N of sampling points, M?3, N?3. The temperatures of the sampling points with temperatures within the effective temperature range of the human body are averaged to obtain the body temperature of the human body. By collecting the temperatures of a plurality of sampling points of the measured object, the invention effectively avoids the errors that measurement of single point may produce (as may be caused by factors such as the environment); by screening for temperatures within the effective temperature range of the human body, the invention effectively avoids errors or interference produced by factors such as clothing or the environment. The improved accuracy and real-time measurement of body temperature bring convenience to people's lives.

  • Publication number: 20170228154
    Abstract: A device and method for power loss protection in solid state drive are provided. A power loss region is created in a flash memory array and reserved as an independent storage space for storing power loss backup. When the power is interrupted, the SSD halts the operation of the host. Before the backup power is used up, the buffered data is directly written to a blank power loss block of the power loss region to form a power loss backup, and an auxiliary mark is created for confirming the most updated power loss backup. After the power is resumed, the power loss backup is directly read from the power loss region according to the most updated power loss auxiliary mark of the power loss backup to restore the original state of the SSD before the power is interrupted.
