The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for determining and/or monitoring a process variable of a medium, comprising at least one sensor element arranged in a sensor head for determining and/or monitoring the process variable, wherein an internal volume of the sensor head is filled at least partially with a filler. The filler includes at least one fill material, for which at at least one predeterminable phase transformation temperature a phase change occurs, in which the material remains in the solid state, wherein the fill material is in a first phase state when a temperature of the fill material is less than the phase transformation temperature, and wherein the fill material is in a second phase state when the temperature of the fill material is greater than the phase transformation temperature.

A system includes a measurement instrument including a first connector, a control module, and a display. A temperature probe includes a shaft and a tip. A second connector is coupled to a first end of the shaft. The tip is coupled to a second end of the shaft and measures a change in temperature of a sample. The second connector is received by the first connector when the temperature probe is attached to the measurement instrument. A storage module is housed within the second connector and stores parameters of the temperature probe. The control module receives the parameters, prompts a user to select the sample on the display, and determines a thermal conductivity and a stable time of the sample. When the stable time has elapsed, the control module determines a temperature measurement based on a change in voltage and displays the temperature measurement on the display.

A measurement device for measuring a temperature prevailing inside a container is disclosed. The measurement device comprises: a process connector including a connector body and a fastener configured to be mounted onto a corresponding counterpart surrounding an opening of the container; a measurement unit secured in an opening of the process connector such that a front surface of the measurement unit is facing into the container when the measurement device is mounted on the container; the measurement unit including or consisting of: a heat pipe and a temperature sensor; the heat pipe having two thermally conductive interfaces including a front interface exposable to the temperature to be measured and a second interface in thermal contact with the temperature sensor; and a thermal insulation surrounding the heat pipe and the temperature sensor.

A temperature sensor assembly for measuring a gas temperature in a gas flow stream includes a first substrate having a first surface configured to be connected to a thermally conductive structure in a gas path, a first temperature sensor mounted to the first substrate a first distance from the first surface, and a second temperature sensor mounted to the first substrate a second distance from the first surface. The second distance is less than the first distance. The first and second temperature sensors are arranged along a temperature gradient.

A method and apparatus for automatically measuring and storing a various measured values of an item, or a sequence of measured values of one or more item(s) suitable for single-handed use by a user. In particular, the present invention relates to a mobile computing device with one or more sensors for determining when to measure and record a particular value of one or more items. The mobile computing device may automatically measure the values based on sensing a change in the temperature value or through using proximity as detected by one or more onboard sensors. Additionally, the mobile computing device may automatically measure the values based on coming within range of an external proximity device. In response to automatically measuring the values, the measured values are stored along with additional information for record keeping purposes.
