Devices, apparatuses and systems for measuring temperature of an ABTT terminus
Apparatuses, systems, devices, mechanisms, and methods are used to locate an ABTT terminus and then to measure the temperature of the ABTT terminus.
1 . A system for locating and measuring a temperature of an Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT), the system comprising:
a support; and
a device adjustably attached to the support so that the device is adjustable in a vertical direction to allow for a plurality of positions having different heights, the device comprising:
a temperature sensor sized and dimensioned to detect and measure the temperature of an ABTT terminus of a user, the temperature sensor configured to provide a temperature measurement; and
a display configured to receive and display the temperature measurement,
wherein the display is arranged directly on top of the temperature sensor such that the user can view the display while the temperature of the ABTT terminus is detected and measured.
2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a mirror including a mirrored surface to allow the user to see a reflection of the user during the measurement.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the temperature sensor is an infrared camera.
4 . The system of claim 3 , further including a control device that is configured to communicate with the infrared camera.
5 . The system of claim 4 , further comprising a pressure detection device that includes a pressure sensor and is configured to communicate with the control device.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the pressure detection device is configured to inform the control device of the presence of the user to initiate a temperature measurement operation.
7 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the pressure detection device is configured to allow for the user to stand on it to activate the pressure sensor.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the pressure detection device is configured to measure a weight of the user.
9 . A device for locating an Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) and measuring a temperature of the ABTT, the device comprising:
a support base;
a sliding mechanism arranged vertically on the support base, the sliding mechanism configured to move in a vertical direction along the support base;
an infrared sensor attached to the sliding mechanism that is configured to acquire a thermal image of a human face and to transmit the thermal image;
a processor configured to receive the transmitted thermal image, to analyze the thermal image to determine a location of an ABTT terminus, and to transmit a result of the analysis of the thermal image; and
a display configured to receive the results of the analysis of the thermal image and to display the results of the analysis,
wherein the display is arranged directly on top of the infrared sensor such that a user can view the display while the thermal image of the human face is acquired.
10 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the infrared sensor is configured to automatically move with the sliding mechanism.
11 . The device of claim 9 , further including a pressure sensor, wherein activation of the pressure sensor causes the device to be actuated.
12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the pressure sensor is configured to allow for a user to stand on it to activate the pressure sensor.
13 . The device of claim 9 , further comprising a card reader and a keypad configured for connecting with a separate electronic device being operatively coupled with the device.
14 . The device of claim 13 , wherein the separate electronic device is a cell phone.
15 . The device of claim 13 , wherein the separate electronic device provides height information of a user.
16 . The device of claim 13 , wherein the card reader is configured to accept a card to allow a function.
17 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the function is at least one selected from purchasing a measurement or identification of the user.
18 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the infrared sensor comprises an array of thermopiles.
19 . The device of claim 18 , wherein the array of thermopiles is separated into a left array for sensing a temperature of a left ABTT of a user and a right array for sensing a temperature of a right ABTT of a user.
