Braille Thermometer: Thermometer for deaf-blinds

8th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2014
This paper introduces a new clinical thermometer named as ‘Braille Thermometer’ which will be used for measuring the body temperature of patients who are blind and also have hearing problem (deaf-blind). It is actually a microcontroller based device which collects temperature through a temperature sensor and indicates this temperature in a dial which ...

A sensitive thermometer

Journal of Physics E: Scientific Instruments, 1968
A conventional bridge circuit employing a germanium transistor as a temperature sensor is shown to have very high sensitivity together with a large output voltage maximum and is linear over an exceptionally wide range of output voltage.

Thermometers

2012
Publisher Summary A thermometer is an instrument that estimates and displays core temperature. Thermometers are ubiquitous and are used in homes, physician clinics, and hospitals. This chapter discusses the physiology, history, and key features of thermometers. Thermometry is used to diagnose high-temperature conditions, such as fever and heat stroke,

Nanowire thermometers

Nanoscale, 2013
We report the design and demonstration of nanowire temperature reporters. Metal alloys with tunable melting points were used to create nanowires in nanopores of anodic aluminum oxide using mechanical pressure injection. When exposed to temperature above their melting points, nanowires began to break up into disconnected shorter nanorods due to Rayleigh

Comparison of the Oral Thermometer Versus the Tympanic Thermometer

Clinical Nurse Specialist, 1999
After the use of tympanic thermometers replaced the use of oral thermometers at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Memphis, the nursing staff initiated a comparison study of the two instruments, monitoring 160 temperature readings. Current studies demonstrate that tympanic thermometers give presumably higher temperature readings than do oral ...

The Female Thermometer

Representations, 1987
Abstract And what, pray, asks a Shandean voice, is a Female Thermometer? The essayist Bonnell Thornton Till described this egregious device in The Connoisseur no. 85 (11 September 1754). Perfected by an “ingenious friend” Mr. Ayscough, the optician and scientific instrument-maker of Ludgate Hill, the “FEMALE THERMOMETER” Thornton wrote ...
