FLEXIBLE TEMPERATURE SENSOR INCLUDING CONFORMABLE ELECTRONICS

摘要

Systems, methods, apparatus and devices are described for monitoring a property of an object or an individual, using a conformal sensor device that substantially conforms to contours of a portion of a surface of the object or the individual. The measurement includes data indicative of a property of a temperature of the portion of the surface and the degree of the conformal contact. An analysis engine is used to analyze the data and to generate at least one parameter indicative of the property of the temperature. Based on a comparison of the at least one parameter to a preset threshold, at least one alert can be issued and/or a command can be transmitted to regulate an environmental condition. The at least one alert can be indicative of a potential risk of harm to the object or individual.

1. A system to monitor a potential risk of harm to an object or an individual using a conformal sensor device mounted to a portion of a surface of the object or the individual, the system comprising:
at least one memory for storing processor executable instructions; and a processing unit for accessing the at least one memory and executing the processor executable instructions, the processor-executable instructions comprising:
a communication module to receive data indicative of at least one measurement of at least one sensor component of the conformal sensor device, wherein:
the at least one measurement comprises a measure of a property of a temperature of the portion of the surface;the conformal sensor device substantially conforms to contours of the surface to provide a degree of conformal contact; andthe data indicative of the at least one measurement comprises data indicative of the degree of the conformal contact; andan analysis engine comprising processor-executable instructions:
to analyze the data indicative of at least one measurement;to generate at least one parameter indicative of the property of the temperature based on the degree of the conformal contact; andto compare the at least one parameter indicative of the property of the temperature to a preset threshold; anda notification component comprising processor-executable instructions:
to issue a first alert at a time T1 if the at least one parameter indicative of the property of the temperature exceeds the preset threshold; andto issue a second alert at a time T2 greater than T1 if the at least one parameter indicative of the property of the temperature falls below the preset threshold and subsequently exceeds the preset threshold for at least a dwell time t,wherein the second alert indicates a potential risk of harm to the object or individual.
