Temperature and Humidity Alerting System

摘要

A temperature and humidity alerting system (THAS) that is designed to alert a medical practitioner or a caregiver when a clothed, diapered or bedridden person has inadvertently urinated or defecated. The THAS is comprised of a data transmitting unit and a data receiving unit. The data transmitting unit utilizes a temperature indicating probe and a humidity indicating probe that each produce a signal when their threshold temperature and/or humidity levels are exceeded. The resulting signal is applied to a data receiving unit where the signal is further processed by a microprocessor that produces a data output signal and a humidity output signal that are applied to an alpha-numeric unit where the data is displayed.

主权项

1. A temperature and humidity alerting system (THAS) comprising:
a) a data transmitting unit having means for producing a temperature signal derived from a temperature indicating probe and a humidity signal derived from a humidity indicating probe, wherein each said probe is located between a person's skin and an interfacing article of clothing which includes a diaper, wherein the temperature and humidity signals are applied to and are processed by a microprocessor that functions in combination with a transmitter firmware to produce a processed temperature signal and a processed humidity signal which are each applied to a wireless transmitting circuit having means for producing a temperature output signal and a humidity output signal that are applied into outer space, and b) a wireless data receiving unit having means for receiving the temperature and humidity output signals that are then applied to and are further processed by a microprocessor which produces a temperature data signal and a humidity data signal that are each applied to a data alert circuit.
