A temperature detecting apparatus is provided. The temperature detecting apparatus includes a movable carrier and a thermal sensor. The movable carrier includes a control module, and is movable in a working place according to a designated command. The thermal sensor is assembled to the movable carrier and is electrically coupled to the control module. When the movable carrier is moved according to the designated command, the thermal sensor is configured to detect the working place so as to generate an immediate temperature distribution of the working place. Moreover, when the immediate temperature distribution generated from the thermal sensor has an abnormal temperature value, the control module is configured to emit a warning signal to an external apparatus.

Systems and methods for reporting health status for a plurality of computing devices such as within a data center are disclosed. A management device connected to the computing devices via a network executes a management application that periodically requests and receives status data from the computing devices. A pool checker may be used to track corresponding pool status data, and an environment checker may periodically request and receive environmental data from environmental sensors for temperature, humidity, and audio. A report generator creates health reports and assigns device health classifications based on the device status data, the environmental data, and the pool health data. The data may be associated with one or more locations and customers, permitting filtering of the report.

An electronic fuse circuit includes an electronic switch with a load current path coupled between an output node and a supply node and that connects or disconnects the output node and the supply node in accordance with a drive signal.

The first temperature is different from the second temperature.

A sensing device and a determining system for determining the location, the movement or even other properties of one or more objects. A sensing device is attached to one object, and contains at least a trigger module and a sound module. The trigger module is configured to generate a sensing signal, and the sound module is configured to generate and transmit a wide-frequency sound signal correspondingly. The determining system contains at least one such sensing device and an analyzing device configured to receive and analyze the wide-frequency sound signal. Therefore, one or more properties of the object(s) may be monitored. In general, the trigger module is configured to couple electrically one or more crystal oscillators with the sound module, so that the oscillation signal generated thereby may be controllably converted into the wide-frequency sound signal.

A mitigation control system is arranged in an environment containing an energetic material and includes an abnormal temperature sensor for detecting an abnormal temperature of the environment, a power source that is mechanically actuated by the abnormal temperature sensor when the abnormal temperature exceeds a predetermined abnormal temperature threshold, a mitigation controller that is actuated by the power source, and a plurality of local temperature sensors that are communicatively coupled to the mitigation controller and are arranged for detecting critical temperatures in specific regions of the environment. The mitigation controller executes a mitigation action when one of the critical temperatures exceeds a predetermined critical temperature threshold for the corresponding specific region.

An improved method and system for controlling the powering-on of an electronic device when initially the internal temperature is below a safe threshold. The method and system can preheat the electronic device until it is at a safe temperature in which to safely power-on the electronic device. Alternatively or in addition, the method and system can alert a user if the temperature is below a threshold and proceed to power-on when the temperature is above the threshold.

Various smart doorbell arrangements are presented. Based on a measured temperature of the smart doorbell, operation of the smart doorbell device may be altered such that more heat or less heat is generated without affecting user-facing features. Based on another measured temperature, operation of the smart doorbell may be altered such that a chime that is electrically coupled to the smart doorbell device is not sounded in response to a doorbell actuation, but that a notification of the doorbell actuation is wirelessly transmitted by the smart doorbell device.
