ABTT Thermal Sensor Array for Non-Invasive Brain Temperature Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for diagnosing and treating conditions like heatstroke, hypothermia, cancer, heart attacks, and seizures are often time-consuming, invasive, and may have side effects due to their focus on surface symptoms rather than addressing the root cause, and they lack direct communication with the brain's thermal center.
Innovation Solution
The Abreu brain thermal tunnel (ABTT) system, which includes sensors, processors, and temperature modification devices, allows for direct thermal communication with the brain's center by measuring and modifying temperature at the ABTT terminus, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment by analyzing thermal data and adjusting brain surface temperature.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional diagnostic and treatment methods are used, then surface symptoms can be addressed, but the root cause cannot be directly accessed and treatment is time-consuming and invasive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces the ABTT as an intermediary pathway that connects the skin surface to the brain's thermal center. Thermal sensors detect temperature changes at the skin surface, and thermal modification devices apply controlled heat or cold through this pathway to directly influence brain temperature, bypassing the need for invasive brain procedures while maintaining diagnostic and therapeutic effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces invasive mechanical or surgical interventions with a thermal field-based system. Instead of physically accessing the brain through surgery, the system uses thermal energy transmission through the ABTT pathway to diagnose and treat conditions, substituting mechanical intrusion with non-invasive thermal modulation
2Reliability
If thermal sensors and modification devices are positioned at ABTT terminus, then direct brain thermal communication is achieved, but device positioning precision is required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs adjustable and repositionable mounting mechanisms that allow the thermal sensors and modification devices to be dynamically positioned and fine-tuned on the skin surface. This dynamic adjustment capability enables precise alignment with the ABTT pathway without requiring extremely tight manufacturing tolerances, as the positioning can be optimized during application
3Measurement precision
If multiple thermal sensors are used to measure ABTT temperature, then temperature measurement accuracy improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple thermal sensors into an integrated sensor array or module that functions as a unified measurement system. By merging the sensors and their signal processing circuits into a single integrated unit, the system achieves improved temperature measurement accuracy through multiple sensing points while minimizing the increase in overall device complexity through consolidation
