Thermosensation

Thermosensation

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...

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

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

Temperature Measurement Sites

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...

Sensor Technology

Background:

Accurate seawater temperature monitoring is crucial for understanding ocean dynamics and climate change.
Existing sensors face challenges with durability, multi-parameter interference, and environmental adaptability.
Novel sensor designs are needed to overcome these limitations for reliable oceanographic data collection.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel optical microfiber coupler sensor with a reflective silver mirror (OMCM) for high-precision seawater temperature measurement.
To enhance sensor performance through encapsulation in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and a pressure-immune metal casing.
To investigate the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms for demodulating sensor signals and reducing errors.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of an OMCM sensor encapsulated in PDMS and housed in a specialized metal casing.
Experimental evaluation of temperature sensitivity and compressive strength.
Application of particle swarm optimization support vector regression (PSO-SVR) for signal demodulation and comparison with traditional methods.

Main Results:

The OMCM sensor demonstrated enhanced sensitivity and durability.
The specialized casing effectively isolated temperature measurements from pressure interference.
PSO-SVR significantly reduced the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) from 2.16% to 0.157% compared to traditional methods.

Conclusions:

The novel OMCM sensor provides a robust and accurate solution for seawater temperature monitoring.
Machine learning demodulation, particularly PSO-SVR, substantially improves measurement precision.
This technology offers an effective tool for high-precision ocean environmental temperature monitoring in harsh conditions.
