A defrost or thaw measuring device has a dumbbell or hourglass-shaped rotatable compartment with a cavity, the cavity being partly filled with at least two phase change materials having different melting points. The measuring device may determine the time period of thawing at two or more temperature intervals in the refrigeration space.

An indication device is provided. The indication device includes an elongated fluid chamber containing at least one electrically conductive liquid driven by a pump for conductive liquids and an immiscible, relatively non-conductive fluid. At least one segment of at least one fluid is used as an indicator. This segment is driven by the pump along adjacent indices of an indicator visible to an observer using a meniscus location sensor and a feedback controller so as to e.g indicate a quantity to the observer.

A fluidic component for generating an ultrasound signal is provided. The fluidic component includes a flow chamber, which can be flowed through by a fluid flow, which enters the flow chamber through an inlet opening of the flow chamber and exits from the flow chamber through an outlet opening of the flow chamber. The fluidic component has at least one device for forming an oscillation of the fluid flow at the outlet opening, the oscillation taking place in an oscillation plane, a separation device, which is designed to separate off a part from the oscillating fluid flow. The separation device includes an inlet opening, through which the oscillating fluid flow enters the separation device, and at least one first outlet opening and at least one second outlet opening, through each of which a part of the oscillating fluid flow exits.

Provided is a time measurement apparatus having a transport device for a liquid, at least one sensor and at least one display which is at least communicatively connected to the sensor, is optically freely accessible and is intended to display a contact duration of the time measurement apparatus with the liquid or an item of meta information derived from the contact duration. The transport device includes at least one reservoir region for receiving liquid from an environment of the time measurement apparatus through an entrance area, at least one detection region for detecting the liquid and at least one time region having a number of channels for transporting the liquid from the reservoir region to the detection region in a defined transport duration. The sensor is designed to detect the liquid in the detection region at an end of the time region which is remote from the reservoir region.
