  • Patent number: 12264971
    Abstract: A thermometer includes one or more temperature sensors mounted on a housing. The one or more temperature sensors determine a temperature of at least one measurement site without contact. The non-contact thermometer displays an indicator to assist alignment of the one or more temperature sensors with the at least one measurement site, receives at least one measurement reading from the at least one measurement site, determines a temperature based on the at least one measurement reading, and displays the temperature on a display unit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 23, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 1, 2025
    Assignee: Welch Allyn, Inc.
    Inventors: Matthew D. Mullin, Aaron R. Burnham, Zhon Ye Chu, David L. Kellner, John A. Lane, Carlos Andres Suarez, Per Soderberg

  • Patent number: 10820802
    Abstract: A patch includes a substrate, and a plurality of temperature sensors. Such sensors include a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, a third temperature sensor connected to the substrate between the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor, and a fourth temperature sensor substantially overlaying the third temperature sensor. The patch also includes a layer of insulative material spacing the fourth temperature sensor from the third temperature sensor. In such examples, the patch also includes an antenna configured to transmit information associated with temperatures determined by the first, second, third, and fourth temperature sensors.

  • Publication number: 20190059742
    Abstract: A physiological parameter sensing system provides a sensing device for measuring a physiological parameter of a subject. The sensing device includes various components that operate as heat sources, which can influence the operation of sensors in the device. The sensing device includes a heat isolation mechanism that thermally isolates the sensors from the heat sources.
