Temperature measurement device
First Claim
1. A device for a non-invasive measurement of the internal temperature of a physical body or thermal resistivity, the body comprising a thermally conductive medium between an internal region with a substantially constant internal temperature and an external surface with a surface temperature, the device comprising:
- a patch comprising at least one contact component for attachment to the external surface and an insulating cover for substantially thermally insulating the contact component from ambient thermal conditions;
a reader for acquiring one or more thermal magnitudes on the patch;
a processing unit for processing said at least one or more thermal magnitudes to derive the internal temperature of the internal region or the thermal resistivity of the conductive medium.
