A home medical box in the bathroom could be introduced, comprising simple medical tools, such as a wrist blood pressure monitor or a (non-contacting) electronic thermometer, and a stethoscope microphone. Additionally an interactive medical encyclopedia could be accessible, with in depth explanations and animated models. Also a connection to a medical doctor could be integrated with wireless video links.

To test for temperature accuracy of a column oven, one should place the temperature probe/sensor of a calibrated/verified electronic thermometer (with at least 0.5°C precision) into the oven. The probe/sensor should not make contact with anything inside the oven. With the oven door closed, allow the temperature to stabilize for at least 20 min at each tested temperature (e.g., 30, 45 and 60°C). The thermometer s temperature should then be recorded at each temperature. The difference between the actual and set temperature should typically be within 1°C. 

In the category of electronic thermometers, the thermocouples (TCs), resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermistors, integrated circuitry (IC), and radiation thermometers will be discussed in separate subsections. The IC and diode detectors will be discussed in connection with cryogenic thermometry. Their characteristics are shown in Figure 3.161. 

Characterization of Superconducting Properties. The real part of the complex AC magnetic susceptibility has been used as a tool for the detection of the superconducting transition temperature. The apparatus used was similar to that described in reference (6), with modifications made for use of an electronic thermometer with analog output and a nitrogen gas flow system for cooling... 

Gallium is used as a fixed thermometric standard to calibrate thermistor probes of electronic thermometers used in clinical chemistry and experimental laboratory analyses (Scansetti 1992). This standard is appropriate because (i) the melting point of gallium (29.78 °C) falls within the region of critical importance to laboratory biological determinations (25-37°C) and (ii) the melt can be maintained accurately and constantly for several hours (Mangum 1977). 

Examples include insulin syringes, blood pressure gauges, most diagnostic reagents, adult incontinent products, electric heating pads, clinical electronic thermometers, powered wheel chairs, infusion pumps, and surgical drapes. 

The measurement of body temperature using instruments employing thermistors as the sensor has greatly increased in recent years. Rapid response times of these low-mass sensors make it possible to quickly assess patients body temperatures so that more patients can be evaluated in a given period. This can then help to reduce healthcare costs. Inexpensive versions of electronic thermometers have replaced...

Given that the temperature affects the mechanical behaviour of the asphalt layers, pavement temperature should also be considered and measured during testing. This is achieved by taking a measurement at approximately 100 mm below the pavement surface using an appropriate electronic thermometer. 

Type 316. Temperatures were measured with chromel-alumel thermocouples connected to a Comark "Electronic Thermometer." Sodium was determined by means of a speclfic-lon electrode (1). Phosphate was determined colorImetrlcally by the molybdate-vanadate ...
