Abstract:
1. A temperature monitoring system, comprising: a sensor for converting received heat energy to electric power and for generating a wireless signal representative of a temperature of an object, the sensor comprising a thermoelectric power component coupled to a transmitting circuit, the thermoelectric power component for receiving heat energy and for transforming the heat energy to electric power, the transmitting circuit for receiving the electric power from the thermoelectric power component for generating the wireless signal, the transmitting circuit configured to prevent electric energy below a predetermined threshold from being received by the transmitting circuit, the predetermined threshold corresponding to a predetermined temperature of the object; and a communication module for receiving the wireless signal and for transmitting a corollary signal to a control module; wherein the control module is configured to determine, from the corollary signal, if the temperature of the object is less than a predetermined alarm value, and to initiate an alarm when the temperature of the object is greater than the predetermined alarm value; and wherein the control module is disposed in a fire panel.
