Innovation Solution
The use of a locating tube to focus and reflect infrared pulses from small body surfaces onto an infrared detector, extending the frequency range to 0.01 to 10 Hz, and incorporating an infrared transmitter to enhance and generate pulse frequencies, along with a band pass filter to optimize wavelength range for measuring body heat emissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a parabolic mirror is used to detect infrared pulses, then the measurement of large body surfaces is effective, but the detection of small body surfaces is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the detection system into multiple locating tubes, each targeting specific body regions. Instead of using a single parabolic mirror for the entire body surface, the system segments the detection into multiple directional tubes that can focus on small, specific areas independently, thereby improving measurement precision on small body surfaces while maintaining the ability to cover larger areas through coordinated multiple tubes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional parabolic mirror surface to a three-dimensional locating tube structure that extends in the depth direction. This dimensional change allows the system to focus infrared pulses from small body surfaces along the tube's length, concentrating the detection capability on specific small areas while maintaining spatial coverage.
2Reliability
If the frequency range is limited to 0.1-1 Hz, then the measurement is stable, but the detection of broader emotional and thought patterns is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic frequency detection system that can adaptively adjust the detection frequency range based on the measurement requirements. The system can operate across a broad frequency spectrum (0.01-10 Hz) and dynamically select appropriate frequency bands, allowing it to maintain stability for specific measurements while being versatile enough to detect various emotional and thought patterns across different frequency ranges.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the operational parameters of the detection system by extending the measurable frequency range from the traditional 0.1-1 Hz to a broader 0.01-10 Hz spectrum. This parameter expansion allows the system to detect slower physiological changes associated with emotions and thoughts while maintaining measurement stability through selective frequency analysis and signal processing techniques.
3Device complexity
If infrared pulses from small surfaces are measured directly, then the setup is simple, but the pulse frequency spectrum intensity is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces locating tubes as intermediary elements between the small body surface and the infrared detector. These tubes act as mediators that collect and guide infrared pulses from small surfaces, concentrating the thermal radiation and enhancing the pulse frequency spectrum intensity without requiring complex amplification systems or multiple detectors, thereby maintaining relatively simple device architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces complex mechanical signal amplification systems with a passive optical/thermal guidance system using locating tubes. Instead of using active electronic amplifiers or complex mechanical scanning systems to enhance signal intensity, the system uses the natural infrared radiation guidance properties of the locating tubes to concentrate and enhance the pulse frequency spectrum from small body surfaces.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables the detection of emotions and thoughts on small body areas by expanding the frequency range and intensity of pulse frequency spectra, allowing for precise identification of intellectual and emotional cells across various body points.
Implementation Method 1
the localization tube receives the infrared pulses, which are produced by changes in the body heat of a creature and emitted by a small surface, partially reflects said infrared pulses several times at the inner wall and focuses said pulses on the infrared detector
Implementation Method 2
an infrared detector which is designed to be able to receive only AC voltage signals and not DC voltage signals converts the infrared beams into electrical signals
Implementation Method 3
the window of the infrared detector has a band pass filter of 8-14μ. Concerning the body temperature of warm-blooded animals like a man this is the right wavelength range for measuring the periodic irregularities of the heat emission
Implementation Method 4
a transmitter is used flashing on a small body surface and whose light pulses containing infrared portions. This has the advantage to strengthen already occurring pulse frequencies and to generate pulse frequencies not yet caused by mental activity

AI summary
FIG. 1 shows the components of the measuring apparatus for recognizing and locating emotions and thoughts by measuring the infrared pulse radiation in the sequence of the measured value pre-processing: localization tube 1, infrared detector 2, amplifier 3, analog/digital conversion 4, analysis program 5 and display 6, wherein the components of the measuring apparatus have the following features: the localization tube 1 receives the infrared pulses, which are produced by changes in the body heat of a creature and emitted by a small surface, and partially reflects said infrared pulses several times at the inner wall and focuses said pulses on the infrared detector 2; the infrared detector 2 which is designed to be able to receive only AC voltage signals and not DC voltage signals converts the infrared beams into electrical signals; the amplifier 3 amplifies these signals; the signals are digitized during the analog/digital conversion 4; the analysis program 5 creates time signals, amount spectra and differential spectra for the total measuring time or for time sections in different mental dispositions of the creature being investigated and creates a characteristic mental spectrum in the pulse frequency range of approximately 0.01 to 10 Hz; the results for the different mental dispositions of the creature being investigated can be seen on the display 6 and can be compared, with the result that different emotions such as joy or sorrow can be recognized, for example. In addition to the measuring apparatus, it is possible to use a transmitter which flashes on a small body surface and whose light pulses contain infrared portions. This has the advantage of amplifying pulse frequencies which have already occurred and of allowing the pulse frequencies which have not yet appeared during mental activity to emerge.
