Thermosensation01:43

Thermosensation

33.5K
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen

650
A device engineer plays a crucial role in designing user interfaces for mobile devices. One such interface is the resistive touchscreen, which fundamentally consists of two metallic layers: a flexible upper layer and a rigid lower layer, separated by a narrow gap. The high resistance between these two layers is a key characteristic of this design.
When a user touches the screen, the two layers make contact at a specific point known as the touchpoint. This contact reduces the resistance between...

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature01:13

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

1.6K
Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

Temperature Measurement Sites

3.0K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electronics Engineering
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Stretchable electronics are crucial for advanced applications like electronic skin in robotics and prosthetics.
  • While pressure sensors for artificial skin are well-researched, stretchable temperature sensors are less explored.
  • Mimicking skin requires stretchability, pressure, and temperature sensing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a stretchable temperature and infrared sensor for electronic skin.
  • To investigate the performance of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) in a stretchable sensor.
  • To enable both contact and non-contact thermal sensing for artificial skin.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a stretchable sensor on a polydimethylsiloxane substrate.
  • Utilizing PVDF-TrFE as the pyroelectric material sandwiched between stretchable electrodes (aluminum/gold and PEDOT:PSS).
  • Characterization of sensor performance under strain and infrared illumination.

Main Results:

  • The sensor demonstrated a sensitivity of 7 pF.°C-1 up to 35% strain without poling.
  • A poled device showed a pyroelectric peak of 13 mV upon infrared illumination (5 mW at 830 nm).
  • The device integrates temperature and infrared sensing in a stretchable format.

Conclusions:

  • A novel stretchable temperature and infrared sensor was successfully developed.
  • The sensor is suitable for electronic skin applications, offering versatile thermal sensing.
  • This work advances the capabilities of artificial skin for environmental monitoring.
