Vorrichtung sowie Verfahren zur Detektion, Entfernungs-, Groessen- und Temperaturmessung von einer Waermequelle

DE 19950849 A UPAB: 20010829 NOVELTY - The distance, size and temperature measurement device evaluates the signals output by a single detector, e.g. a pyroelectric infrared sensor, whose relative spatial position with respect to a heat source is changed linearly or rotationally along or about an axis. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method in measuring the distance, size, and temperature of a heat source. USE - For measuring the distance, size and temperature of heat sources, e.g. gas stoves, to detect disturbance e.g. fire in buildings, so that appropriate countermeasures can be put in place. ADVANTAGE - Simple compact arrangement enabling effective monitoring in wider range of installation applications, due to use of single infrared sensor
