Thermal imaging system
First Claim
1. A thermal imaging system comprisingan infrared imaging system including a camera, a micro processor and a display unit, said infrared imaging system being positioned at a checkpoint, said infrared imaging system measuring temperature by sensing thermal radiation naturally emitted by people passing the checkpoint,the camera having a lens, an optical system and a photodetector, the lens being only focused on discrete points of a narrow area positioned above the eye and below an eyebrow at a brain tunnel temperature of a face of the individual passing by the checkpoint,the photodetector quantifying energy flux in a mid infrared range naturally emitted from the brain temperature tunnel by the people passing by the checkpoint as viewed by the optical system of the camera,the display unit displaying a thermal image of the brain temperature tunnel area of the face of the individual as viewed by the lens of the camera as the individual passes by the checkpoint,the infrared imaging system measuring a specific temperature span of the brain temperature tunnel of a person passing the checkpoint of between two to five °
- C. in relation to a reference compared to the narrow area located at the brain temperature tunnel.

Abstract
Support structures for positioning sensors on a physiologic tunnel for measuring physical, chemical and biological parameters of the body and to produce an action according to the measured value of the parameters. The support structure includes a sensor fitted on the support structures using a special geometry for acquiring continuous and undisturbed data on the physiology of the body. Signals are transmitted to a remote station by wireless transmission such as by electromagnetic waves, radio waves, infrared, sound and the like or by being reported locally by audio or visual transmission. The physical and chemical parameters include brain function, metabolic function, hydrodynamic function, hydration status, levels of chemical compounds in the blood, and the like. The support structure includes patches, clips, eyeglasses, head mounted gear and the like, containing passive or active sensors positioned at the end of the tunnel with sensing systems positioned on and accessing a physiologic tunnel.
