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 relates to ABTT providing direct brain-core thermal/physiological communication to an ABTT terminus located between an eye and an eyebrow. The disclosed system uses an apparatus that receives an emission from the ABTT terminus in order to remotely measure at least one parameter of a user's brain core. The measurement is conveyed to an electronic apparatus for display of information based on the received emission.
A sensor device is configured to be worn or positioned to receive the emission from the ABTT terminus. The disclosure includes sensorial watch configurations having a front face, a back face, a display, and at least one sensor positioned on the front face, such that the back face contacts the user's wrist. The system transmits a signal representative of the emission to the display, and the display displays information based on the received emission.
The disclosure further describes multiple apparatus configurations beyond the sensorial watch, including mobile devices and separable sensor devices that receive emission from an ABTT terminus to measure brain-core parameters. It also describes temperature modification devices configured to apply/remove heat at the ABTT terminus using bi-directional thermoelectric/heating/cooling or other thermal elements, together with alignment mechanisms and sensor protection to facilitate receiving and measuring the emission.
Claims Coverage
The partial content includes one independent claim, focused on a sensorial watch that receives emission from an ABTT terminus and displays information based on that emission. The dependent claims refine the independent claim by specifying sensor type/configuration, adding alignment via a light source, and adding communication to a separate electronic device, as well as narrowing displayed information to temperature information in the corresponding method refinement.
Sensor watch configured to receive ABTT emission for remote brain-core parameter measurement
A sensorial watch includes a front face, a back face arranged opposite the front face, circumferential side faces, a display on the front face, a wrist band, and at least one sensor positioned on the front face, configured to be worn such that the back face contacts the user's wrist; and the watch receives an emission from at least one Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) terminus located between an eye and an eyebrow to remotely measure at least one parameter of the user's brain core; transmits a signal representative of the emission to the display; and the display receives the signal and displays information based on the received emission.
Temperature sensor implementation for the ABTT-based measurement
The sensorial watch includes at least one sensor that is a temperature sensor.
Spaced-apart sensor pair configuration
The watch uses at least one sensor implemented as a pair of sensors spaced apart by a distance.
Light-source-based alignment with the ABTT terminus
A front-face light source positions the at least one sensor to align with the ABTT terminus.
Transmitter communicatively coupled to a separate electronic device
The watch further includes a transmitter communicatively coupled to a separate electronic device.
Temperature information display for the user's brain core
In the related method refinement, the information is temperature information of the user's brain core.
Across the independent claim and its refinements, the core inventive concept is a sensorial watch that receives emission from an ABTT terminus between the eye and eyebrow to remotely measure a brain-core parameter and display information based on a representative signal. Refinements specify temperature sensing, sensor spacing, alignment via a light source, transmission to a separate electronic device, and narrowing displayed content to temperature information for the brain core.
