Abstract
An apparatus for providing an alert based on a liquid boiling mechanism is described. The apparatus includes a probe. The probe includes a heat sensor enclosed by a protective material. The probe is configured to transmit a temperature measurement signal. The probe is also configured to be submerged in a liquid to be heated. The apparatus may also include a base unit communicatively connected to the probe. The base unit includes an alert disrupt control. The base unit is configured to emit an alert in response to a boiling temperature detected from the temperature measurement signal. The base unit is also configured to deactivate the alert in response to user action detected on the alert disrupt control.
Claims18
An apparatus for providing an alert based on a liquid boiling mechanism comprising:
- a probe, wherein
- the probe includes a heat sensor enclosed by a protective material, wherein
- the probe is configured to transmit a temperature measurement signal, and wherein
- the probe is configured to be submerged in a liquid to be heated;
- and
- a base unit communicatively coupled to the probe, wherein
- the base unit includes an alert disrupt control, wherein
- the base unit is configured to emit an alert in response to a boiling temperature detected from the temperature measurement signal, and wherein
- the base unit is configured to deactivate the alert in response to a user action detected on the alert disrupt control.
An apparatus for providing an alert based on a liquid boiling mechanism comprising:
- a probe, wherein
- the probe includes a heat sensor enclosed by a protective material, wherein
- the probe is configured to transmit a temperature measurement signal, and wherein
- the probe is configured to be submerged in a liquid to be heated;
- a base unit coupled to the probe, wherein
- the base unit is communicatively connected to the probe with a wire, wherein
- the base unit includes an alert disrupt control, wherein
- the base unit is configured to emit an alert in response to a boiling temperature detected from the temperature measurement signal, and wherein
- the base unit is configured to deactivate the alert in response to a user action detected on the alert disrupt control;
- and
- one or more remote units communicatively coupled wirelessly to the base unit,
- wherein the one or more remote units are configured to emit the alert.
A method of providing an alert based on liquid boiling mechanism, the method comprising:
- receiving a temperature measurement signal from a probe, wherein the probe is submerged in a liquid, and wherein the liquid is heating;
- detecting a temperature measurement within the temperature measurement signal as equaling or exceeding a boiling temperature associated with the liquid;
- emitting an alert, wherein the alert includes one or more of a visual alert and an audible alert;
- and
- transmitting an alert signal wirelessly to a remote unit, wherein the remote unit is configured to emit the alert in response to receiving the alert signal.
