Device for measuring the infrared output of the Abreu brain thermal tunnel
A medical device for the measurement of brain temperature data through the Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) is described. Brain temperature measurement is the key and universal indicator of both disease and health equally, and is the only vital sign that cannot be artificially changed by emotional states. Currently, brain temperature is difficult to measure. However, the present disclosure describes a device that readily locates the Abreu brain thermal tunnel, and is configured to provide a non-contact temperature reading of the brain. Embodiments of the disclosed device enable an individual to measure their own temperature and enable medical professionals to measure the temperature of others.
1. A sensing device configured to interface with a human Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) terminus, the sensing device comprising:
a body portion including a first end and a second end;
a handle portion pivotally mounted on the second end of the body portion;
a sensing portion including an infrared sensor mounted on a free end of the sensing portion, an opposite end of said sensing portion being rotatably mounted on the first end of the body portion, the free end being rotatably moveable with respect to the body portion to receive infrared energy from the ABTT terminus, and the sensing portion including a field of view to capture at least the infrared energy from a center portion of the ABTT terminus; and
a viewing portion mounted on the body portion, the viewing portion including a display configured to extend from the body portion, the display also being configured to display data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor, and the display configured to present an advertisement while the infrared sensor receives infrared energy prior to the display of any data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor.
2. The sensing device of claim 1 , wherein the display transitions from presenting the advertisement to presenting the advertisement and data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor.
3. The sensing device of claim 2 , wherein when the display transitions from presenting the advertisement to presenting the advertisement and data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor, the data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor is displayed on a portion of the advertisement.
4. The sensing device of claim 3 , wherein the data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor is temperature data, and the temperature data is presented on an enlarged portion of a license plate displayed on the display during the advertisement.
5. The sensing device of claim 3 , wherein data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor is temperature data, and the temperature data is presented on a sign of a commercial or retail business displayed on the display during the advertisement.
6. The sensing device of claim 1 , wherein when a measurement determined from the infrared energy exceeds a predetermined value, the display presents a message suggesting that medical advice be obtained in place of the advertisement.
7. The sensing device of claim 6 , wherein a message indicating a sponsor is presented in a portion of the display.
8. A sensing device configured to interface with a human Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) terminus, the sensing device comprising:
a body portion including a first end and a second end;
a handle portion positioned on the second end of the body portion;
a sensing portion including an infrared sensor, said sensing portion being movably mounted on the body portion, the sensing portion including a first end and a second end, the sensing portion being movably mounted on the body portion by said first end of the sensing portion, and the sensing portion being configured to allow positioning of the second end of the sensing portion to receive infrared energy from the ABTT terminus, and the sensing portion including a field of view to capture at least the infrared energy from a center portion of the ABTT terminus; and
a display mounted on the body portion, the display being configured to display data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor, and the display configured to present an advertisement to a user while the infrared sensor receives infrared energy prior to the display of any data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor.
9. The sensing device of claim 8 , wherein the display transitions from presenting the advertisement to presenting the advertisement and data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor.
10. The sensing device of claim 9 , wherein when the display transitions from presenting the advertisement to presenting the advertisement and data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor, the data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor is displayed on a portion of the advertisement.
11. The sensing device of claim 10 , wherein the data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor is temperature data, and the temperature data is presented on an enlarged portion of a license plate displayed on the display during the advertisement.
12. The sensing device of claim 10 , wherein data related to the infrared energy captured by the infrared sensor is temperature data, and the temperature data is presented on a sign of a commercial or retail business displayed on the display during the advertisement.
13. The sensing device of claim 8 , wherein when a measurement determined from the infrared energy exceeds a predetermined value, the display presents a message suggesting that medical advice be obtained in place of the advertisement.
14. The sensing device of claim 13 , wherein a message indicating a sponsor is presented in a portion of the display.
