A temperature sensing device (100), connected to a protected wire (105) which is integrated to the processing and cellular gateway device (115).

Currently, all existing art and products do not allow for temperature remote monitoring using cellular gateways in harsh or water environments due to the packaging of both the temperature sensor and sensing unit in one device. This significant change allows for temperature sensing in environments which cannot obtain radio or cellular connection or would simply be a medium which would destroy the components such as boiling water, harsh chemicals, etc.

This unique demonstration of using a cellular connected monitoring device along with the novel addition of a means for measurement of temperature or other sensor data which is not within the same space as the device allows for a multitude of new applications.

A bathythermograph buoy and an associated method of operation are provided to measure temperature and/or optionally other parameter(s) within an ocean or another body of water. A bathythermograph buoy includes a housing and one or more sensors carried by the housing and configured to repeatedly measure one or more respective parameters as the bathythermograph buoy descends. The bathythermograph buoy of one example also includes a memory carried by the housing and configured to store representations of the one or more respective parameters measured by the one or more sensors. The bathythermograph buoy further includes a buoyancy modification device configured to increase buoyancy of the bathythermograph buoy to permit the bathythermograph buoy to ascend.

This invention provides a wig capable of obtaining data indicative of a head environment. This invention includes at least one sensor (2) and a storage section (31) in which sensed data obtained by the at least one sensor (2) is stored.

Embodiments of the disclosure implement an application of an adaptive filter bank that is used to characterize the heat transfer of a volume in a thermal system, to estimate temperature and power consumption, and to improve performance characteristics in applications including optimal temperature control and diagnostics. In some embodiments, the adaptive filter bank is an iterative solution, comprised of a collection of adaptive filters defined to consume incident signals, produce an aggregate reference signal, estimate an error relative to an observed primary signal, and modify thermal coefficients to converge on a solution. For example, the incident signals are comprised of properties related to active, passive, solar irradiance, and unobserved heat transfer. A reference signal is an estimate of a primary signal, related to the rate of heat transfer or temperature change. Thereupon, the thermal coefficients are modified in an adaptive process to include gradient descent, which minimizes estimation error.

A semiconductor storage device includes a memory cell and a control circuit configured to, upon receipt of a command, acquire a first temperature measured by a temperature sensor, and perform an operation corresponding to the command using a parameter corrected based on temperature. When the first temperature is within a predetermined range with respect to a second temperature measured before the command is received, the parameter is corrected using the second temperature. When the first temperature is outside the predetermined range, the parameter is corrected using the first temperature.
