Thermo Mirror, Mirror Form Thermometers
Want to know whether a hot or not? Look in the mirror. No, I do not see as attractive, but to see if you have a fever. Japanese company NEC Avio Infrared Technologies recently introduced a new tool for screening the market fever: how to mirror an infrared device that detects a person and gives the skin temperature at the surface. Because the tool runs without hitting anyone, can be used at airports or other public places where the authorities want to monitor infectious diseases such as influenza.
“Thermal Mirror”, which is a typical beautiful mirror table, contains sensors that measure the infrared radiation emitted from the skin surface to the person’s temperature. The lecture takes a few seconds and is about a foot away. Converts an alarm when a person is considered fever. Unlike infrared cameras, which can reach $ 10,000, thermometers, mirrors are available in two models, $ 1,440 and $ 1,880. The company plans to have 5,000 of them to sell years.
Although skin temperature are variable, and therefore less accurate than a single temperature (for example, someone who just happened to cold, or take a warm jacket), a software system it is possible to track the average temperature control people through the mirror and alert on anomalies. Although there is no information on such a system has not been set, “Thermo Mirror NEC Avio Infrared Technologies does not advertise other monitoring systems in the infrared thermography products. If the mirrors are properly calibrated and regularly under-the-tongue thermometer on hand to settle disputes, I expect some problems with how the universal control device. Especially in the flu season, the new technology benefits to public health efforts on a large scale.
