Abstract: A temperature measurement system of a vehicle includes a controller, a first temperature sensor associated with a first location, and a second temperature sensor associated with a second location. The temperature measurement system is calibratable based upon a comparison of a temperature of the first location and a temperature of the second location, wherein the temperature of at least one of the first location and the second location is determined after a predetermined time from an end of operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method includes using a thermistor as a temperature sensor and connecting a pull-up resistor in series to the thermistor in a voltage divider circuit. The pull-up resistor is fabricated in an integrated circuit and includes a series of resistor segments connected to selectable voltage output tabs. The method further includes selecting an output voltage tab for a selected resistance segment having a selected resistance value to match a target resistance value for the pull-up resistor that is smaller than the as-fabricated resistance value of the pull-up resistor, calculating a ratio of a voltage on the thermistor and a voltage on the selected output voltage tab in the voltage divider circuit, and mapping the calculated ratio to a temperature value of the thermistor based on a temperature-resistance relationship of the thermistor in combination with the target resistance value of the pull-up resistor.

Abstract: Energy delivery devices with a flexible circuit. The energy delivery devices may be used in the treatment of human tissue, and the flexible circuit move or flex during use. The flexible circuit may include an electronic component and a trace connected with the electronic component. The trace may have a plurality of sections that provide parallel current paths over a portion of the trace. Alternatively, the flexible circuit may include a plurality of traces that are connected with the terminal of the electronic component to provide parallel current paths over their entire length to the terminal of the electronic component. These redundant parallel current paths improve device reliability.

Abstract: A control system for a heated conduit in a respiratory apparatus includes a power supply configured to provide power to the heated conduit and a heating control circuit configured to control an amount of heat generated in the heated conduit. The control system further includes a sensing circuit configured to indicate the temperature of a sensor positioned in the heated conduit by comparing a reference voltage with a sum of a voltage drop through the sensor and a voltage provided to the sensor by the power supply when the heating control circuit is on. When the heating control circuit is off, the voltage drop through the sensor is solely due to current provided by a current source.
