Aging calibration for temperature sensor
A thermal sensor with non-ideal coefficient elimination is shown. The thermal sensor has a bandgap circuit, a dual-phase voltage-to-frequency converter, and a frequency meter. The bandgap circuit outputs a temperature-dependent voltage. The dual-phase voltage-to-frequency converter is coupled to the bandgap circuit in the normal phase to perform a voltage-to-frequency conversion based on the temperature-dependent voltage, and is disconnected from the bandgap circuit in the coefficient capturing phase to perform the voltage-to-frequency conversion based on the supply voltage. The frequency meter is coupled to the dual-phase voltage-to-frequency converter to calculate the temperature-dependent frequency corresponding to the normal phase of the dual-phase voltage-to-frequency converter. The frequency meter also calculates the temperature-independent frequency corresponding to the coefficient capturing phase of the dual-phase voltage-to-frequency converter. The temperature-dependent frequency and the temperature-independent frequency are provided for temperature evaluation with non-ideal coefficient elimination.
Mitigation of lens condensation using heat
Systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for heating a lens to mitigate fogging. The methods can include identifying a temperature of the lens, identifying an ambient temperature of an environment of the lens, determining whether the lens is susceptible to fogging based at least on the temperature of the lens and the ambient temperature of the environment of the lens, and in response to determining that the lens is susceptible to fogging, causing a heating element to apply heat to the lens to mitigate fogging of the lens.

Magnetic measurement device for measuring temperature or other property
The invention relates to a measurement device 1 comprising a rotatable magnetic object 4 which can oscillate with a resonant frequency if excited by an external magnetic torque. The measurement device 1 is adapted such that the resonant frequency depends on the temperature or on another physical or chemical quantity like pressure, in order to allow for a wireless temperature measurement or measurement of the other physical or chemical quantity via an external magnetic field providing the external magnetic torque. This measurement device can be relatively small, can be read-out over a relatively larger distance and allows for a very accurate measurement.

EYEWEAR DEVICE DYNAMIC POWER CONFIGURATION
Devices and methods for dynamic power configuration (e.g., reduction) for thermal management (e.g., mitigation) in a wearable electronic device such as an eyewear device. The wearable electronic device monitors its temperature and, responsive to the temperature, configures the services is provides to operate in different modes for thermal mitigation (e.g., to prevent overheating). For example, based on temperature, the wearable electronic device adjusts sensors (e.g., turns cameras on or off, changes the sampling rate, or a combination thereof) and adjusts display components (e.g., adjusted rate at which a graphical processing unit generates images and a visual display is updated). This enables the wearable electronic device to consume less power when temperatures are too high in order to provide thermal mitigation.
