  • Publication number: 20240068884
    Abstract: A thermosensitive part sensing temperature; a temperature sensor for measurement provided in the unit and measuring temperature by contacting the unit with a body to be measured; a temperature detecting part detecting, from when the unit contacts the body, the time when the sensor senses a difference from an initial temperature of the sensor, and a measured temperature of the sensor at that time, and detecting, from when the difference is sensed, a time after a certain length of time and a measured temperature of the sensor at that time; an estimating part estimating, from the time when the difference is sensed and a time after a certain length of time, the time when the thermosensitive part contacts the body, and the measured temperature at that time; and a heat conduction analyzing part estimating the measured temperature based on output information from the temperature detecting part and the estimating part.

  • Publication number: 20230296447
    Abstract: A temperature measurement device (10) comprises: a thermosensitive unit (41) that senses temperature; a thin film thermosensitive element (1) for measurement capable of measuring the temperature by bringing the thermosensitive unit (41) into contact with a subject; a thin film thermosensitive element (2) for protective heating disposed to enable heat exchange with the thin film thermosensitive element (1) via an insulating layer (S1), and controlled so that the temperature thereof is equal to the temperature of the thin film thermosensitive element (1); a temperature control element (3) capable of causing the thin film thermosensitive element (1) to be in a temperature state in which the temperature thereof is a certain degree lower than the temperature of the subject; and a control processing unit (5) controlling the thin film thermosensitive element (1), the thin film thermosensitive element (2), and the temperature control element (3).

  • Publication number: 20220291059
    Abstract: Provided are: a contact force sensor which has high accuracy and sensitivity and is capable of ensuring strength; and a device provided with the contact force sensor. The present invention comprises: a sensor body (2) manufactured by processing a semiconductor material, wherein the sensor body (2) is provided with: a ring-shaped portion (21); a central portion (22) formed substantially in the center of the ring-shaped portion (21); a spoke portion (23) connected to the ring-shaped portion (21) from the central portion (22) toward the outside; and stress-electricity conversion elements (5) which are disposed at positions facing each other on the front side and the back side of the spoke portion (23), and convert the displacement of the spoke portion (23) into an electric signal.
