and President Dr. Jacob Fraden, inventor of the popular
ThermoScan Ear Thermometer and the holder of over 50 patents, with
clients including Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Braun, and Gillette,
announced today the grant of a U.S. patent for
“Wireless Communication Device with Integrated Electromagnetic
Radiation Sensors” for its new Infrared (IR) Thermometer
Technology with built-in module for smartphones to remotely take
temperatures without any contact with a person or object.
Clinically Accurate Smartphone Thermometer for Parents with Small
Children, Nurses, Doctors, & Caregivers
Now available for licensing to qualified companies with a significant
presence in the mobile phone market, the Fraden Smartphone Sensing
patented technology and IP (Intellectual Property) employs a
non-contact infrared sensor built into a smartphone or tablet to
instantly and accurately measure patient temperature in less than one
second with absolutely no contact with the human body. A priceless
feature for parents with small children, nurses, doctors, caregivers or
anyone that has ever had trouble taking a temperature, the sensor
accurately detects infrared signals that naturally emanate from any
surface. Just aim the smartphone at the face and it
automatically takes the internal body temperature. A small infrared
lens is positioned near the camera lens, with no protruding parts,
making the device appear identical to existing smartphones.
The sensor’s wide range, from -22 ºF to +400ºF, offers broad
applications in taking temperatures of not only humans, but also of
inanimate objects in the home environment, such as kitchen
(cooking and refrigeration), bathroom (baby bath water
temperature), school (science class), and industry
(automotive and production machinery, chemical processes, energy
management, and construction).
“Most smartphone models differ little from one another, with only small
evolutionary changes. The vendor with breakthrough functions for real
world everyday use, like reading a child’s temperature, can distance
themselves from their competitors. We believe this new patent can be a
significant competitive differentiator for a smartphone manufacturer,”
said Dr. Jacob Fraden, President of Fraden Corporation, a co-inventor of
the technology and expert in non-contact temperature measurements, a
holder of over 50 patents and the inventor of the popular Thermoscan ear
thermometer.
“We believe that major conveniences afforded by built-in sensors,
particularly thermal infrared sensors and their low incremental cost in
smartphones, represent a compelling proposition for the manufacturers,”
added co-inventor, Dr. David Pintsov.
Fraden Infrared Thermometer for Smartphone Technology Features:
·
Patented technology – U.S. issued and world pending
patents.
·
No comparable products on the market – a great
differentiator for the smartphone industry.
·
Minimal incremental cost.
·
Non-protruding, works with digital camera in smartphone.
·
Quick time to market.
·
Very easy to use.
·
Instant response, less than 1 second.
·

buildings, machinery, circuit boards, etc.).
·
Small (2.5 mm) infrared (IR) lens is located next to the
digital camera lens.
·
Technology is expandable to thermal imaging, UV and EMF
pollution exposure and others.
