Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, devices, mechanisms, and methods are used to locate an ABTT terminus and then to measure the temperature of the ABTT terminus.
Core Innovation
The invention provides a system for measuring infrared emissions of at least one Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus. A sensor positioned on a platform detects infrared energy, receives the infrared emissions, and transmits signals representative of the infrared emissions during a length of data acquisition. The sensor is movable with respect to the platform, enabling measurement while the sensor changes position relative to the subject or imaging arrangement.
A transparent display positioned directly in front of the sensor is movable with the sensor and is configured to be transparent to the infrared energy. A processor receives the signals, analyzes the signals, and provides first output representative of at least one of the signal and the analysis to the display. The processor further provides a second output that includes an advertisement during at least part of the length of data acquisition and during a time to receive the signal and to analyze the signal.
Another measuring system arrangement includes a support system with a sensor movably mounted on the support system, and a display positioned on the support system below the sensor. The display location is defined so that the sensor is located along an imaginary line extending vertically from a transverse midpoint of the display when viewing the display from a front of the display. Data acquired during the length of data acquisition is presented on the display at random times during the advertisement, while the processor analyzes the received emissions and provides outputs representative of at least one of the signal and the analysis.
Claims Coverage
The provided independent claims are clm-00001, clm-00009, and clm-00012. Across these claims, the inventive coverage is concentrated on infrared emission or temperature measurement for an Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus using a movable sensor, a display positioned and configured to be transparent to infrared energy or arranged relative to a sensor, and presenting an advertisement during acquisition and timed presentation of acquired data alongside the analysis outputs.
Movable infrared sensor for ABTT terminus emissions on a platform
A platform with a sensor configured to detect infrared energy, receive infrared emissions from at least one Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus, and transmit signals representative of the infrared emissions during a length of data acquisition, where the sensor is movable with respect to the platform.
Transparent display positioned directly in front of the movable sensor
A display positioned directly in front of the sensor, where the display is transparent to the infrared energy and configured to be movable with the sensor.
Processor outputs analysis to the display and provides advertisement during acquisition
A processor configured to receive the signal, analyze the signal, provide a first output representative of at least one of the signal and the analysis to the display, and provide a second output that includes an advertisement during at least part of the length of data acquisition and during a time to receive the signal and to analyze the signal.
Support system arrangement with sensor and display vertical alignment
A system with a support system, a sensor movably mounted on the support system, and a display positioned on the support system at a location below the sensor such that the sensor is located along an imaginary line extending vertically from a transverse midpoint of the display when viewing the display from a front of the display.
Random-time presentation of acquired data during advertisement
Where data acquired during the length of data acquisition is presented on the display at random times during the advertisement.
Determining ABTT terminus presence within infrared camera field of view
In a method, determining from infrared radiation emitted by the at least one Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus that the at least one Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus is within a field of view of an infrared camera.
Measurement and display occur only after confirming field of view
After determining that the at least one Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus is within the field of view, continuing to receive emissions during a length of data acquisition, transmitting signals representative of the emissions to a processor, analyzing the transmitted signals and presenting results on a display, where analyzing is measurement of a temperature signal of the at least one Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus and measurement occurs only after determining that the at least one Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus is positioned within the field of view of the infrared camera.
Advertisement during at least part of data acquisition length
Displaying an advertisement during at least part of the length of data acquisition.
The independent claims collectively cover infrared emission or temperature measurement of an Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus using a movable sensor, outputting signal or analysis results on a display with specific spatial and transparency relationships, and presentation of an advertisement during acquisition, including presenting acquired data at random times during the advertisement.
Stated Advantages
Enables displaying an advertisement during acquisition while receiving and analyzing infrared emission signals.
Presents measurement-related results on a display in association with the advertisement, including presenting acquired data at random times during the advertisement.
Restricts temperature measurement to occur only after determining that the Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus is within the infrared camera field of view.
Documented Applications
Locating and measuring infrared emissions or temperature related to an Abreu brain thermal tunnel terminus, with measurement results presented on a display during advertisement.
Medical risk indication based on clinical experiment graphs relating right or left Abreu brain thermal tunnel temperature differences and temporal patterns to medical risk indications.
