Disclosed is a body temperature measuring patch using an IR temperature sensor. The present embodiment provides a body temperature measuring patch using an infrared temperature sensor, which enables the body temperature to be measured more accurately and quickly when a body temperature is continuously monitored by applying a surface mounted device (SMD)-type infrared (IR) temperature sensor and thus implementing a patch-type thermometer.

An apparatus for monitoring a person, including while sleeping, the apparatus including: a. a garment for a person to wear while sleeping; b. a rigid sensor device configured to detect a temperature and/or a motion of the rigid sensor device while the person is wearing the garment; and c. an elastic pocket configured to hold the rigid sensor device tightly inside the garment during the detection of the temperature and/or the motion.

A diagnosis method includes: (a) checking tear film break-up time point and location by photographing cornea of the subject's eye and checking in time series at least one or more times of the tear film break-up time point; (b) checking corneal surface temperature by measuring the surface temperature of the cornea of the subject to be evaluated using a thermal imaging camera performed simultaneously with the photographing of the tear film of the eye; (c) mapping the tear film break-up time point and the change in the surface temperature of the cornea based on time; and (d) diagnosing type of dry eye syndrome based on any one of the tear film break-up time point and a location of surface temperature change time point of the corneal corresponding thereto, in mapping result in step (c).

Methods of measuring biometric characteristics using a sensor positioned in an ear canal of a user are provided. The sensor is positioned on or connected to an ear tip, a contact hearing device, or one or more components thereof. One or more biometric signals may be sensed from the sensor. The biometric characteristic of the user is measured or derived from these sensed signals, and include but are not limited to the temperature of the user, acoustic signal(s) from the user, movement(s) of the user, a ballistocardiogram, an electrocardiogram, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure.

A machining center NC operation panel with a body temperature management function that makes a physical condition determination in accordance with body temperature measurement of an operator, can restrict the start of work at time of a determination that the physical condition is inappropriate, and also is capable of body temperature management of a worker and the like at all times, includes a visible region image camera and an infrared ray detection camera respectively with a visible light condensing lens, and an infrared ray condensing lens being mounted exposed on the front face of the operation panel. The machining center NC operation panel has a storage unit having an operator list created for each operator pre-registered as a machine tool user, a facial image file, and a body temperature management file storing body temperature databases of machine tool users and body temperature databases of body temperature management users. A control unit includes: a facial authentication processing unit that compares facial image data of an operator obtained from the visible region image camera with a facial image data group in the facial image file, searches for a relevant person, and identifies the operator; a work information processing unit that calls a work information allocated to the identified operator from the operator list, and, on the basis of the work information, causes a display section of the operation panel to display allowed work items of the operator such that the allowed work items can be selected and executed; and a body temperature acquisition processing unit that acquires a body temperature measurement value of the operator from face surface temperature data obtained by the infrared ray detection camera, causes the display section to display the body temperature measurement value, also assesses whether or not the operator has a fever on the basis of the body temperature measurement value, outputs a signal representing the result of the assessment to the work information processing unit, and simultaneously causes the display section to display an assessment screen. The work information processing unit has a function by which upon receiving a signal representing an assessment that the operator who is a machine tool user is in a fever condition from the body temperature acquisition processing unit in the work management mode, the display section is caused to lock an operation screen, and prohibit continuation of operation of the start of work.

An orthopedic system configured for use in a pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative assessment. The orthopedic system comprises a first screw, a second screw, a first device, a second device, and a computer. The first device and the second device are respectively coupled to a first bone and a second bone of a musculoskeletal system. The first and second devices each include electronic circuitry, one or more sensors, and an IMU. A bracket, wrap, or sleeve can be used to hold the first and second devices to the musculoskeletal system. The first and second devices are configured to send measurement data to a computer. The first and second devices each have an antenna system. Electronic circuitry in the first or second devices are configured to harvest energy from a received radio frequency signal to recharge a battery to maintain operation.
