First Claim
Patent Images
1. A device, comprising:
- a thermal imaging module;
a non-thermal imaging module; and
a bridge coupled to and extending between the thermal imaging module and the non-thermal imaging module, wherein the bridge is configured to substantially maintain a position of the thermal imaging module relative to the non-thermal imaging module.

Abstract
Various techniques are disclosed for providing a device attachment configured to releasably attach to and provide infrared imaging functionality to mobile phones or other portable electronic devices. The device attachment may include an infrared imagining module and a non-thermal imaging module that cooperate with one or more of a non-thermal imaging module in an attached device and a light source in the attached device for capturing and processing images.
