Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

1.1K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Instrumentation
  • Radiation Detection Technology
  • Embedded Systems

Background:

  • Remote radiation detection requires compact, stable, and efficient systems.
  • Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) offer high sensitivity but require precise signal processing and temperature management.
  • Existing systems may lack integrated data management and wireless capabilities for in situ applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a compact back-end interface for SiPMs enabling remote beta and gamma radiation detection.
  • To implement Zener diode-based temperature compensation for stable SiPM performance.
  • To create an efficient data management system for wireless data access and in situ characterization.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a compact (46 mm diameter) back-end interface for SiPMs with Zener diode temperature compensation.
  • Implemented a trapezoidal peak shaping algorithm on an FPGA for pulse processing.
  • Utilized MySQL database storage for periodic spectra data and wireless access via Wi-Fi.
  • Optimized shaper coefficients using LED blink tests for improved spectral resolution.
  • Tested the system with NaI(Tl) scintillators and various sealed radioactive sources (Co-60, Cs-137, Na-22, Am-241).

Main Results:

  • Achieved a peak efficiency of 27.09 ± 0.13% for Am-241 (59.54 keV gamma peak).
  • Obtained a minimum energy resolution (Delta E/E) of 4.27 ± 1.16% for Co-60 (1332.5 keV gamma peak).
  • Demonstrated successful remote data acquisition and in situ characterization capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • The developed compact system effectively enables remote detection of beta and gamma radiation with SiPMs.
  • Zener diode temperature compensation and FPGA-based signal processing ensure reliable performance.
  • The integrated data management system facilitates efficient wireless data access for in situ applications.
