Miscellaneous

BODY TEMPERATURE PROBE (CONTACT TYPE)

• A cost-effective body temperature measurement probe is developed using miniature high resolution thermometer. The product is a spin-off from the Expendable Bathy Thermograph (XBT) developed by the laboratory
• The Body Temperature Probe, consists of a very small thermistor on a pen-like attachment which can detect the body temperature by placing the tip on the mid-arm or forehead region. A hand-held processing unit displays the temperature, and based on the same, highlights whether the person is normal or feverish.
• The kit has high accuracy with a very short response time
• This cost-effective product is designed as two variants
• The first variant is for industrial use, in which the probe and display-cum processing unit are separate units connected by a cable. Both the persons, the one whose temperature is measured and the one noting the measurement, are thus separated apart. 
• This unit draws power from the general 230 V AC mains. 
• The probe is inserted in a holder which contains sanitizing medium
• In the second variant, the probe and the display-cum processing unit are integrated in a single casing. This variant draws power from a small battery and can be used for domestic purposes also

BODY TEMPERATURE PROBE (NON - CONTACT TYPE)

• An indigenous version of the IR-based thermal scanner has been designed.
• Small infrared sensors are used as the sensory elements. The requisite electronic circuitry has been designed for the data acquisition and processing. A small display screen is provided to show the value of temperature and also indicate whether the person is feverish or normal. The device is light in weight.

ANYWHERE ERECTABLE ISOLATION SHELTERS

SANITIZER WITH ATTENDANCE GEAR AND TEMPERATURE MONITORING (SWAGATAM)

• A system has been developed by DIPAS for non-contact card based attendance and temperature monitoring along with sanitizer dispenser simultaneously covering every aspect of safety against Covid-19.
• System has in-built card reader which is connected to the server via GSM & GPRS. An ultrasonic sensor sends out high frequency sound waves (about 40Khz) in the direction of detection, and receives the reflection from nearby objects and gives distance reading by processing the echo time.
• Once, a person punches the card, his/ her card number, current date and time of arrival/exit along with temperature details (96° F to 107.6°F) will be saved on the server. Upto 40000 records can be stored in device itself.
• This data can be accessed from the server with the help of API/Interface and thus can be used for Employee Attendance System accordingly.
• The system has been tested and found easy to use, stable in performance and user friendly.
• Temperature can be recorded at distance 2cms to 4cms. Whereas sanitizer can be used at distance of 2cms to 20cms.
