Abstract: A radiation detector for axillary temperature measurement comprises a wand having an axially directed radiation sensor at one end and an offset handle at the opposite end. The radiation sensor is mounted within a heat sink and retained by an elastomer in compression. The radiation sensor views a target surface through an emissivity compensating cup and a plastic film. A variable reference is applied to a radiation sensor and amplifier circuit in order to maintain full converter resolution over design ranges of target and sensor temperature with the sensor temperature either above or below target temperature.

Abstract: A signal is sensed from a bolometer element in an uncooled and thermally nonstabilized focal plane array with a Wheatstone bridge over any temperature range across which there is thermal variation which in practice is any range of more than 1null C. and then corrected for spatial nonuniformity. Temperature compensation parameters are provided from a calibration database as a function of ambient temperature by using a flash random access memory. An array of gain and offset values are provided in the memory for each pixel in the focal plane array for each potential operating temperature over the entire temperature range. The temperature compensation uses analog processing and a reference temperature measurement from the focal plane array as an index marker to directly access an appropriate bank of the flash memory that contains the appropriate gain and offset settings that can either be read directly into the focal plane array via its read-out integrated circuit or using analog circuits.
