Uniformity of stratum-ventilated thermal environment and thermal sensation

Indoor Air, 2014
Three human test series were conducted to evaluate the uniformity of the thermal environments in a stratum-ventilated chamber with dimensions of 8.8 m (L) × 5.1 m (W) × 2.4 m (H). In all, nineteen conditions were generated by adjusting the room temperature, supply airflow rate, and supply terminal type.

Thermal pleasantness sensation: an indicator of thermal stress

European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1982
The degree of pleasantness or unpleasantness of thermal sensation aroused by a particular peripheral thermal stimulus has been shown to be an indicator of thermal state of the body in relation to the thermoregulatory set point. This phenomenon is known as thermal alliesthesia.

Usability of Thermal Sensation Voting Device

2016
Indoor climate has a key role on the performance of office workers. To assess the thermal comfort of a room, some models have been proposed. However, even with those models, manage and control all variables related to thermal comfort is a complex task. To simplify this process, a simple device that allows workers to vote if the indoor climate is “hot”,

Thermal Sensation Display with Controllable Thermal Conductivity

2019 20th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems & Eurosensors XXXIII (TRANSDUCERS & EUROSENSORS XXXIII), 2019
We demonstrate a thermal sensation display that can present various thermal sensation by varying the thermal conductivity of the display. Thermal sensation, i.e., cold/cool/warm/hot, is one of the major tactile sensations and needs to be further investigated to advanced VR/AR systems.

Thermal Sensations of Solomon Islanders at Home

Architectural Science Review, 1981
This paper acknowledges the difficulty of taking into account factors, such as thermal comfort in house design, as they can only be assessed in subjective terms. An attempt to solve these Problems was made as part of a field study of indigenous people in a tropical area - in this case the Solomon Islands.

Thermal Sensation Under Unsteady Thermal Environments

Advances in Bioengineering, 2002
As the absolute level of thermal sensation is vague for human beings, one cannot correctly select the absolute level of the multi-point thermal sensation scale with any kinds of precise classification. To achieve a breakthrough in such a situation, we propose a new voting method based on the relative change of thermal sensation, and investigate the ...

Temperature control for thermal sensation based on thermal diffusion equation

2016 IEEE 25th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE), 2016
Technique of rendering thermal sensation can connect people who are in remote locations, such as teletherapy and a multimodal system. Humans feel detailed temperature distribution and recognize the characteristic of a contacting object. Although, conventional method can only render the thermal sensation of a fingertip or a part of a hand.

Thermal sensation of the body as influenced by the thermal microclimate in a face mask

Ergonomics, 1987
Subjective and physiological responses were obtained from six subjects wearing a face mask while exercising (220 W m −2) for 15 min on a bicycle ergometer. Different combinations of ambient air temperatures (7, 16 and 25°C) and mask air temperatures (22,27 and 33°C) were studied with two different air humidities inside the mask (61 and 86% relative ...

Diversity in thermal sensation

2016
In this paper we structure biological, psychological and background/experience drivers of thermal comfort variance and their relationships to develop a conceptual interaction model. The aim is to create a theoretical model containing a broad range of influencing factors that can be used for hypothesis generation.

The Graphic Scale of Thermal Sensation

Architectural Science Review, 1981
The validity of the assertion that visual aids provide a more useful communication tool between cultures than the spoken word was tested on some 1,500 males from the Solomon Islands. Cartoons were used for a study of thermal perception of Solomon Islanders as they transcend cross-cultural barriers and are a good means of conveying complex and ...
