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.

A temperature measurement device 25A is a temperature measurement device 25A that includes a temperature sensor 25d and that is accommodated in a container 21 along with an article 23, and includes a temperature deviation determination unit 25h that determines whether a temperature of the article 23 in the container 21 having been detected by the temperature sensor 25d at a predetermined measurement interval has deviated from a reference temperature range, a control unit 25g that enables a temperature deviation flag when the number of times the temperature of the article 43 in the container 21 has consecutively deviated from the reference temperature range exceeds a reference number as a result of determination by the temperature deviation determination unit 25h, and a notification unit 25f that notifies a fact that the temperature deviation flag has been enabled by the control unit 25g.

Methods, systems, and devices for temperature exception tracking in a temperature log for a memory system are described. The memory system may store the temperature log separate from data to which the temperature information corresponds. For example, a memory device may store data in a relatively higher-level cell and the corresponding temperature information in a relatively lower-level cell. To perform a write operation, the memory system may determine a current temperature at which the data is being written or was written to a partition of a memory device and may indicate in the temperature log if the current temperature is entering a temperature range that is outside a threshold temperature (e.g., a nominal temperature). To perform a read operation, the memory system may determine if the data to read was written to the memory device outside the threshold temperature to determine whether to perform temperature compensation for the read operation.
