1. An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of thermal sensors comprising at least a first sensor and a second sensor;
a data collector configured to capture temperature data from the plurality of thermal sensors; and
one or more thermal isolating layers, wherein the one or more thermal isolating layers insulates the first sensor from the second sensor, and wherein the one or more thermal isolating layers is configured to create a different reaction between the first sensor and the second sensor because of the thermal resistance of the one or more isolating layers.
