METHOD AND ROAD FINISHER FOR DETECTING INTERFERING OBJECTS DURING THE CREATION OF A TEMPERATURE FIELD OF THE PAVING LAYER
The disclosure refers to a method and a road finisher for creating a temperature field of a newly laid paving layer corrected for interfering-related temperature measurement errors. In accordance with the disclosure, it is recognised that when the paving layer is paved, a measuring point is covered by an interfering object at a first time if, contrary to an expected material-specific cooling at a later second time during paving at the same measuring point, a larger temperature value particularly lying within a nominal temperature range than a temperature value measured to the preceding first time is measured, wherein instead of the temperature value detected at the first time a new temperature value is assigned to the measuring point in the temperature field.
SINGLE FRAME OBJECT TRACKING USING THERMAL IMAGING
A method (400) for estimating a trajectory of an object (58) using thermal imaging, the method comprising the steps of: (i) obtaining (420), using a thermal imager (32), a thermal image (54) of one or more surfaces (50) within an environment (52); (ii) detecting (440), within a single obtained thermal image, a heat signature (56) from an object on the one or more surfaces; (iii) extracting (450), from the single obtained thermal image, a trajectory of the object along the one or more surfaces within the image; and (iv) estimating (460), from the extracted trajectory, a trajectory of the object within the environment.
Infrared temperature sensor
To provide an infrared temperature sensor that is corrected in detected temperature while ensuring high responsiveness. An infrared temperature sensor 10 according to the present invention includes a heat conversion film 40, an infrared detection element 43 held by the heat conversion film 40, a temperature compensation element 45 that is provided adjacently to the infrared detection element 43 and is held by the heat conversion film 40, a light guide part 59 that guides entered infrared rays toward the infrared detection element 43, and a blocking part 27 that blocks the infrared rays from being incident on the temperature compensation element 45, in which an inner surface of the light guide part 59 configures an irradiation surface 57 to be irradiated with the infrared rays, and the irradiation surface 57 includes a correction region 58 that is different in emissivity of the infrared rays from surroundings.
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE DETECTION APPARATUS, PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION ACQUISITION SYSTEM
An electromagnetic wave detection apparatus (10) includes a switch (16), a first detector (19), and a second detector (20). The switch (16) includes an action surface (as) with a plurality of pixels (px) disposed thereon. The switch (16) is configured to switch each pixel (px) between the first state and the second state. In the first state, the pixels (px) cause electromagnetic waves incident on the action surface (as) to travel in a first direction (dl). In the second state, the pixels (px) cause the electromagnetic waves incident on the action surface (as) to travel in a second direction (d2). The first detector (19) detects the electromagnetic waves that travel in the first direction (dl). The second detector (20) detects the electromagnetic waves that travel in the second direction (d2).
Wireless transmission of temperature data for a geographic area
A user obtains an individual's body temperature data and transmits the data to a medical monitor (e.g., a medical device) for display. Additional data includes a timestamp and location of the body temperature data. Once the data is transmitted, a user may view the medical monitor for a temperature reading. For example, a doctor may take a patient's temperature and the temperature reading is displayed on a medical monitor. The body temperature data of each patient is detected using a preferred temperature detector, such as a temporal artery thermometer using an arterial heat balance approach. After collecting an individual's body temperature data, the body temperature data can be transferred to a processor. By sending body temperature data for many individuals for a geographic region, the processor can identify a pattern (e.g., a pandemic) in the body temperature data.
Vehicle mounting device for surveillance equipment

USER INTERFACE FOR INTRAORAL SCANNING WITH TOOTH COLOR DETECTION
A system includes an intraoral scanner and a computing device operatively connected to the intraoral scanner. The intraoral scanner generates three-dimensional scan data of a tooth and further generates color data of the tooth under multi-chromatic light. The computing device receives the three-dimensional scan data and the color data of the tooth during a first mode of operation. The computing device invokes a second mode of operation, and presents, in a graphical user interface (GUI), an image of the tooth. The computing device further presents, in the GUI, data indicating a plurality of color zones of the tooth and further indicating, for at least one color zone of the plurality of color zones, that insufficient color data has been received, wherein each color zone indicates a separate region of the tooth that is expected to have approximately uniform color.
