An approach to noninvasively, remotely and accurately detect core body temperature in a warm-blooded subject, human or animal, via thermal imaging. Preferred features such as the use of in-frame temperature references, specific anatomical target regions and a physiological heat transfer model help the present invention to overcome pitfalls inherent with existing thermal imaging techniques applied to physiological screening applications. This invention provides the ability to noninvasively, remotely and rapidly screen for diseases or conditions that are characterized by changes in core body temperature. One human application of this invention is the remote screening for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), since fever is a common, early symptom. Other diseases and conditions that affect the core body temperature of humans or animals may also be noninvasively and remotely detected with this invention.

A system for fast noncontact screening for fever human subjects by means of a thermal imaging camera. The camera is combined with a target gate that incorporates the reference blackbody targets and position detectors to identify the temperature scale and size of a subject. A thermal imaging snapshot is controlled by the position detectors. An afebrile subject produces pixels of a thermal image that fit within the predetermined normal temperature range calibrated by the reference blackbody targets and having no pixels above that range. Exceeding that range by at least two adjacent pixels is an indication of fever that triggers the alarm.

The invention discloses a serial Chinese medicinal preparation for treating child common cold, a preparation process and a quality control method thereof. Preparations are characterized by being prepared from traditional Chinese medicines, namely indigowoad leaf, Chinese thorowax root, baical skullcap root, fineleaf schizonepeta herb, platycodon root and liquoric root as well as pharmaceutical excipients. The preparations have the effects of clearing away heat, relieving exterior syndromes, reducing inflammation and relieving cough, and are used for common cold and fever, headache and stuffed-up nose, cough and sneeze, and sore throat. Volatile oil from Chinese thorowax root is a material base of the 'defervescence' of the preparation, has the characteristic of quick defervescence, and is an active ingredient for treating exogenous fever of children; and the traditional preparation process is to adopt a way of spraying the volatile oil into the preparation, and the volatile oil is almost completely lost during the production and storage due to the low content of the volatile oil, so that the clinical therapeutic effect is seriously affected. In the preparation process, a beta-cyclodextrin inclusion technology is adopted for the inclusion of the volatile oil from Chinese thorowax root to ensure that a liquid medicine is solidified; and thus the loss of the volatile oil during the production and storage is reduced, and the stability of the medicine is improved and the clinical therapeutic effect of the medicine is ensured at the same time. In addition, the more perfect quality control method is used for ensuring the quality; meanwhile, the clinical medication formulation is also enriched, so that the clinical medication demand can be better met.
