    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_temperature_sensors

    The integrated circuit sensor may come in a variety of interfaces — analogue or digital; for digital, these could be Serial Peripheral Interface, SMBus/I 2 C or 1-Wire.. In OpenBSD, many of the I 2 C temperature sensors from the below list have been supported and are accessible through the generalised hardware sensors framework [3] since OpenBSD 3.9 (2006), [4] [5]: §6.1 which has also ...

  3. Resistance thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_thermometer

    The simplest resistance-thermometer configuration uses two wires. It is only used when high accuracy is not required, as the resistance of the connecting wires is added to that of the sensor, leading to errors of measurement. This configuration allows use of 100 meters of cable. This applies equally to balanced bridge and fixed bridge system.

    Kyllo v. United States, 533 U.S. 27 (2001), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in which the court ruled that the use of thermal imaging devices to monitor heat radiation in or around a person's home, even if conducted from a public vantage point, is unconstitutional without a search warrant. [1]

  5. Infrared thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_thermometer

    A sailor checking the temperature of a ventilation system. Some typical circumstances are where the object to be measured is moving; where the object is surrounded by an electromagnetic field, as in induction heating; where the object is contained in a vacuum or another controlled atmosphere; or in applications where a fast response is required, the accurate surface temperature is desired or ...

  6. ThermoSensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThermoSensor

    ThermoSensor is a coin-sized battery-powered RFID-enabled temperature sensor which is to be attached to the lower abdomen of patients by using 3M Tegaderm for body temperature monitoring. ThermoSensor was invented by the company Cadi Scientific in 2003 in Singapore for body temperature monitoring but it was later used for location tracking of ...

  7. Fiber-optical thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optical_thermometer

    Fibre optic sensors offer complete immunity to RF and microwave radiation with high temperature operating capability, so they can be used for measurement on patients and materials in magnetic resonance scanner (MRI). In strong magnetic fields, there is a small offset in the temperature reading approximately proportional to the strength of the ...

  8. Thermopile laser sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermopile_laser_sensor

    Figure 2: [8] Working principle of a thermal laser sensor (Adapted from figure 3 with permission) As shown in Fig 2, a thermopile laser sensor consists of several thermocouples connected in series with one junction type (hot junction at temperature T 1) being exposed to an absorption area and the other junction type (cold junction at temperature T 2) being exposed to a heat sink.

  9. Heat flux sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_flux_sensor

    FHF04SC is a self-calibrating version of the flexible FHF04 heat flux sensor. Sensors that are embedded in construction can sometimes be very troublesome to remove if they need to be re-calibrated (in a lab). Some sensors incorporate heaters in order to be able to leave the sensor in place while performing a re-calibration.
