Abstract:
A portable sensor for measuring a hydration level of an object in close physical proximity with the sensor includes a portable housing having a total volume of less than about 50 cm3. First circuitry disposed in the housing includes a thermal source, a controller electrically coupled to the thermal source, a temperature sensing element, and a processor coupled to the temperature sensing element. When the object is in close physical proximity with the sensor, the thermal source is energized by the controller with a signal having a known function of time. The object affects a time variation of a temperature of the thermal source, the temperature sensing element senses the affected time variation of the temperature of the thermal source, and the processor determines a hydration level of the object based on a characteristic of the affected time variation of the temperature of the thermal source.

Claim (Index 12):
The portable sensor of  claim 11 , wherein the moisture management layer is sufficiently thick and/or the temperature sensing element senses the time variation of the temperature of the moisture management layer over a sufficiently short period of time that no, or very little, thermal energy is delivered by the portable sensor to the object while the temperature sensing element senses the time variation of the temperature of the moisture management layer.
