A device includes first and second circuits. The first circuit includes a temperature sensor to measure a device temperature. The second circuit operates to send an enable signal to the first circuit to cause the temperature sensor to measure the device temperature; and, in response to not receiving at least one of a ready signal and the device temperature from the first circuit within a set amount of time, output a tamper event signal and a timeout event signal, and disable a valid data signal.

A portable heating chamber system is adapted and configured for use in performing pyrometric proficiency testing. Within an enclosing structure is an array of thermocouples which function as temperature sensors. Heat is generated within the chamber by one or more electric resistive heat sources, and heated air is circulated by one or more electric fans. Outside the enclosing structure are a temperature controller and a data acquisition device, which applies correction factors to the temperature data and determines uncertainties to assess testing proficiency.

An apparatus, system and method for temperature measurement of a target site, such a human body site. The invention includes an intelligent temperature probe configured to physically contact a target site and to communicate with a host device, which can be implemented as a hand-held device or as a personal computer. The host device can compute, store and display an accurate predicted temperature, or an actual temperature at thermal equilibrium, of the target site for each of a plurality of different intelligent temperature probes that each have unique and varied operating characteristics. A set of unique operating characteristics for each temperature probe is represented by information communicated between each respective temperature probe and the host device.

Determining business objects is disclosed, including: receiving an access request from a client device; determining a set of relevant business objects based at least in part on information included in the access request; determining a location associated with the client device; determining temperature information associated with the location; and selecting at least a subset of business objects from the set of relevant business objects based at least in part on the temperature information.

Environmental indicators for monitoring a predetermined environmental exposure, for example, an historical heat exposure such as a cumulative ambient heat exposure and/or a peak ambient heat exposure, may include an environmental indicator material. The environmental indicator may be configured to attach to a host product for monitoring the predetermined environmental exposure of the host product.

A cooling monitor thermometer device and a system for monitoring and logging the cooling of food. The cooling monitor thermometer device includes a display, a control panel, and a probe. The cooling monitor thermometer that can measure the temperature of a food or liquid medium in a temperature mode, an initialization mode, and a monitoring and logging mode to capture and log a hot food cool down process or a cold food cool down process at certain initial temperatures and logging temperatures with corresponding times. The captured and logged temperatures and times may be transmitted from the cooling monitor thermometer via a network to a program platform on a logging device.

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.

An electronic inspection apparatus includes a probe, a sensor, a memory unit, and a controller. The apparatus senses a condition, and stores data representative of the sensed condition at a high bit rate. The inspection apparatus transfers the sensed data to a computing device or database via a lower bit rate. In one embodiment, a data queue or memory unit of a temperature probe temporarily stores data before transmitting the data to a computing device (e.g., a mobile device). The method of the present invention provides two separate data logging parameters: (1) how fast to read and log data which determines a data logging period and (2) how fast to send the data to the mobile device which determines a data transmit period. Thus, the data transfer period is isolated or decoupled from the data logging period.
