The invention relates to a temperature sensor comprising a thermocouple (7) defining a hot point (13), said temperature sensor comprising a mineral insulated cable (14) with an outer diameter greater than 2 mm and less than 5 mm and a reinforcement tube (60) from which projects the mineral insulated cable at the hot point end, so as to form a swaging.

A container for molten metal is provided with a temperature measuring device arranged in an opening of a container wall. The temperature measuring device has a protective sheath, which projects into the container and which is closed at its end arranged in the container. A temperature measuring element is arranged in an opening of the protective sheath. The protective sheath is composed of a mixture of a heat-resistant metal oxide and graphite, and the closed end is spaced at least 50 mm from the container wall.

An air temperature sensor arrangement for a vehicle includes a temperature sensor housing having a base portion, an inlet and an outlet. Also included is a main flow path defined by a continuously curvilinear wall, the main flow path extending from the inlet to the outlet for separating particulate matter from an inlet airflow. Further included is a temperature sensor disposed within an internal cavity of the temperature sensor housing.

A power-management unit is described. This power-management unit allows a common signal line to communicate data between an integrated circuit (which may be external to the power-management unit) and a battery-monitoring mechanism in a battery pack, and to convey a signal that represents a temperature state of the battery pack to a temperature-monitoring circuit or mechanism that monitors the temperature state of the battery pack. In particular, the power-management unit may include a single-wire interface or a multiplexer that, at a given time, selectively couples the signal line from the battery pack either to the integrated circuit or the temperature-monitoring circuit based on a control signal provided by the integrated circuit (for example, via an I2C bus or interface). In this way, the power-management unit may reduce the number of signal lines needed to communicate with the battery-monitoring mechanism and to convey the signal.

A waterproof food temperature probe includes a penetrating portion for inserting into food during cooking; a cable for coupling the penetrating portion to a display unit separated from the penetrating portion; and, a high temperature resistant seal portion permanently covering at least part of the penetrating portion and at least part of the cable. The seal portion prevents moisture from entering the penetrating portion thereby preventing the temperature probe from malfunctioning.

A temperature sensor includes a substrate, a platinum resistor arranged on at least one surface of the substrate, a protective layer covering at least a portion of the platinum resistor and a cover layer covering at least a portion of the protective layer, the cover layer including Al2O3, SiO2 and Y2O3. The cover layer may also include B2O3. A conductive wire may be electrically connected to the platinum resistor. A glass ceramic may be covering at least a portion of the conductive wire, platinum resistor, protective layer and cover layer.

A sleeve for a probe of an environment-sensing device is provided. The sleeve includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first inner surface, a first outer surface, a first body extending between the first inner surface and the first outer surface, at least one first body channel, and a first-portion projection extending axially along the first portion. The second portion includes a second inner surface, a second outer surface, a second body extending between the second inner surface and the second outer surface, at least one second body channel, and a second-portion receiving channel extending axially along the second portion. The at least one first body channel and at least one second body channel include a filler material. The first portion and the second portion are configured to couple together by mating the first-portion projection with the second-portion receiving channel.
