A temperature sensor assembly for measuring a gas temperature in a gas flow stream includes a first substrate having a first surface configured to be connected to a thermally conductive structure in a gas path, a first temperature sensor mounted to the first substrate a first distance from the first surface, and a second temperature sensor mounted to the first substrate a second distance from the first surface. The second distance is less than the first distance. The first and second temperature sensors are arranged along a temperature gradient.

A sensor device for calculating air temperature includes a support structure, to be traversed by the air and defining a seat having an air inlet and an air outlet, and a sensor arranged inside the seat to detect at least one first value and at least one second value of the air temperature that traverses the seat. The sensor device is configured so that, when detecting the first and second value, the air traverses the seat at a first and at a second speed, at which the sensor has a first and second heat transfer coefficient and first and second radiant power. The ratio between air speeds, heat transfer coefficients, or radiant powers is predetermined. The sensor device can be used with a data processing logic unit that calculates the air temperature starting from the first value, the second value, or the ratios between air speeds and radiant powers.

A method and apparatus for monitoring a surface temperature of eyewear proximate a processor to understand the surface temperature as a function of computer instructions, such as when the computer instructions are modified during software design. A sensor is coupled to the eyewear proximate the processor, such as at a temple of the eyewear including the processor, using one or more layers of tape. A server provides instructions to the processor for execution, such as instructions of an application, which instructions vary the utilization of the processor. A testing device, such as a digital multi-meter, is coupled to the sensor, as well as the server, and displays the surface temperature as a function of the processor utilization. The surface temperature of the eyewear is monitored to ensure the surface temperature does not exceed a temperature threshold.

A temperature sensor (116) comprises an electrical circuit (204) including a thermistor (206) intended to be placed next to an object (112); a temperature measurement module (222) configured for determining a measured temperature (T_M) of the thermistor (206) from a resistance of the thermistor (206); and a command module (224) configured for providing a command (C) to the electrical circuit (204) for modifying the electrical circuit (204) in a way that changes a current (IT) flowing in the thermistor (206). The temperature sensor (116) further comprises a thermal loss determination module (226) configured for determining a thermal loss (L) of the thermistor (206) from the thermistor measured temperature (T_M) and the command (C); and a temperature estimation module (228) configured for estimating a temperature (T0_E) of the object (112) from the thermistor measured temperature (T_M) and from the thermal loss (L) of the thermistor (TH).
