Abstract
The physical and physiological events at one end of an Abreu Brain Thermal Tunnel (ABTT) are reproduced at the opposite end. Thus, the ABTT enables the direct transfer of outputs from a brain core to an ABTT terminus without significant barriers. Accordingly, apparatuses, systems, devices, mechanisms, and methods use the ABTT terminus and the ABTT to measure the temperature of the brain core.
Core Innovation
The invention is directed to a sensor device that uses a cell phone including a display to receive emissions from an Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT). A first sensor is positioned on a first arm and receives the emissions from the ABTT, transmits a signal representative of the emissions to the cell phone, and the cell phone receives the signal and displays an image of the emissions received.
The sensor device includes a first arm and a second arm, each having a first end and a second end, and a bias material positioned to apply a force. The bias material applies a force to the first ends of the first arm and the second arm to cause the first arm and the second arm to be moved toward each other. The first sensor is positioned on the first arm closer to the second end of the first arm than to the first end of the first arm.
Claims Coverage
The provided material identifies one independent claim centered on a cell-phone-based sensor device that receives ABTT emissions via a first sensor mounted on a biased arm and displays an image of the emissions on a cell phone display. Dependent claim refinements add a second sensor, communication via an electrical connector, sensor placement on the arms, adjustable spacing, and a spring bias material.
Cell phone display receives ABTT emissions as displayed image
A first sensor positioned on a first arm receives emissions from an Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT), transmits a signal representative of the emissions to the cell phone, and the cell phone receives the signal and displays an image of the emissions.
First and second biased arms moved toward each other
A first arm and a second arm, each with first and second ends, and a bias material positioned to apply force to the first ends to cause the first arm and the second arm to be moved toward each other.
First sensor mounted closer to the second end of first arm
The first sensor is positioned on the first arm closer to the second end of the first arm than the first end of the first arm.
Electrical connector communication between sensor and cell phone
The first sensor communicates with the cell phone through an electrical connector.
Second sensor on second arm closer to second end
A second sensor is mounted on the second arm closer to the second end of the second arm than to the first end of the second arm.
Adjustable spacing between sensors using flexibly adjustable arms
The first arm and the second arm are flexibly adjustable to change a spaced distance between a first sensor and a second sensor.
Spring bias material for arm motion
The bias material is a spring positioned to apply force to the arm ends.
Biasing force relationship driving second ends toward each other
A bias material applies force that separates the first ends of two arms while forcing the second ends toward each other.
The claim coverage combines a cell phone display that receives a representative signal from a sensor receiving ABTT emissions with a mechanically biased two-arm arrangement that positions the sensor or sensors for emission detection and image display. The dependent features further specify electrical connector communication, a second sensor, adjustable sensor spacing, and the spring bias relationship.
Stated Advantages
Enables display of an image of ABTT emissions using a cell phone display.
Documented Applications
Sensor device for receiving emissions from an Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) and displaying emissions on a cell phone.
