A temperature measurement apparatus (10) according to the present disclosure includes a first irradiator (11a) configured to irradiate pulsed excitation light (L1) on a substance included in a chemical reaction system (20), a second irradiator (11b) configured to irradiate probe light (L2) on the substance, a detector (12) configured to detect the probe light (L2) irradiated on the substance by the second irradiator (11b), and a controller (15) configured to calculate a temperature of the substance included in the chemical reaction system (20) based on information related to the detection intensity of the probe light (L2) detected by the detector (12).

There is described systems and methods for managing an electrical surge of railway signaling equipment. A breaker includes a mechanical reset button that shifts positions in response to detecting the electrical surge exceeding a threshold amperage. An opto-isolator deenergizes in response to the position shift of the mechanical reset button. The event recorder transmits an alarm signal to a remote office system in response to the deenergizing of the opto-isolator.

A system for protection from fires and electrical shock of components used in construction of electrical systems is disclosed using a sensing degree of characteristic before an arc fault, with the purpose to detect, annunciate, and remove the hazard before an electrical arc occurs.

There are provided: a thermal history change type indicator by which the degree of reconstitution with hot water of instant cup noodles can be easily visually recognized in conjunction with the temperature in a container; and a set of a thermal history change type indicator and instant cup noodles comprising the thermal history change type indicator and instant cup noodles.

The thermal history change type indicator comprises: a thermally meltable material layer containing a thermally meltable material; a permeation layer, wherein the permeation layer becomes transparent or translucent when the thermally meltable material melts and permeates the permeation layer; a thermally meltable material permeation-inhibiting layer for inhibiting the permeation of the thermally meltable material into the permeation layer, wherein the thermally meltable material permeation-inhibiting layer is arranged between the thermally meltable material layer and the permeation layer; and a protective layer, wherein the thermally meltable material layer, the permeation layer, and the thermally meltable material permeation-inhibiting layer are layered, and the permeation layer side of the layered product is covered with the protective layer. The set of a thermal history change type indicator and instant cup noodles comprises the thermal history change type indicator and instant cup noodles. FIG. 1

A multi-event minimum temperature indicator that includes a substrate, at least two thermochromic compositions positioned on the substrate, and an optional top layer adhered to the substrate. Each thermochromic composition is positioned on a discrete area of the substrate, and the compositions provide a visual indication of exposure to progressively colder temperatures.
