Usability of Thermal Sensation Voting Device
2016Indoor 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 Under Unsteady Thermal Environments
Advances in Bioengineering, 2002As 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), 2016Technique 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, 1987Subjective 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
2016In 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, 1981The 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 ...

THERMAL SENSATION: INFRARED AND MICROWAVES
1983Abstract : The main substance of this paper is to use present knowledge to help formulate a hypothetical program of psychophysical experiments with microwaves that will take account of the main variables that determine the subjective response.

Thermal Sensations of Sedentary Man in Moderate Temperatures
Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1971To determine the full range of thermal conditions at which sedentary subjects report feeling comfortable, 1600 college age students were exposed in groups of 10 subjects each, five men and five women, to 20 dry-bulb temperatures ranging from 60 to 98°F. in increments of 2° F.
