Identifying Logical Contradictions in System Constraints

In a professional engineering environment, a safety sensor is programmed to trigger an alarm if the temperature TT satisfies two conditions simultaneously: T<35T < 35 and T>85T > 85. Given that these requirements are joined by the word 'and,' but there are no temperature values that can be both below 35 and above 85 at the same time, what is the standard mathematical term used to describe the resulting solution set?
