TEMPERATURE DETECTOR HAVING DIFFERENT TYPES OF INDEPENDENT SENSORS
First Claim
1. A method for detecting a temperature of a component, the method comprising:
- receiving a first signal indicative of the temperature of the component, the first signal being received from a first type of temperature sensor;
receiving a second signal indicative of the temperature of the component, the second signal being received from a second type of temperature sensor different from said first type of temperature sensor; and
combining the first and second signals to generate an output indicative of the temperature of the component.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a temperature detector for detecting a temperature of a component. The temperature detector may receive a first signal indicative of the temperature of the component, with the first signal being received from a first type of temperature sensor. The temperature detector may further receive a second signal indicative of the temperature of the component, with the second signal being received from a second type of temperature sensor different from the first type of temperature sensor. The temperature detector may combine the first and second signals to generate an output indicative of the temperature of the component.

11. A system for detecting the temperature of a component, the system comprising:
-
at least two types of temperature sensors, each employing a different type of temperature sensing technology; and a processor configured to combine a first signal from a first one of the two types of temperature sensors and a second signal from a second one of the two types of temperature sensors different from the first one of the two types of temperature sensors to generate an output indicative of the temperature of the component. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
