Abstract
A device for detecting a temperature above a threshold temperature, the device including a first reservoir and a second reservoir fluidly connected to the first reservoir. When the device is exposed to a temperature at or below the threshold temperature, a material is disposed within the first reservoir. When the device is exposed to a second temperature greater than the threshold temperature, at least a portion of the material is disposed within the second reservoir.
Claims20
A device for detecting a temperature above a threshold temperature, the device comprising:
- a first reservoir;
- and
- a second reservoir fluidly connected to the first reservoir;
- wherein, when the device is exposed to a temperature at or below the threshold temperature, a material is disposed within the first reservoir, and
- wherein, when the device is exposed to a second temperature greater than the threshold temperature, at least a portion of the material is disposed within the second reservoir.
A device for detecting a temperature above or below a threshold temperature, the device comprising:
- a frame defining a reservoir therein, wherein the reservoir includes a plurality of arms extending radially out from a central portion, wherein the reservoir is configured to contain a material in one of the central portion or at least one arm of the plurality of arms when the device is exposed to a temperature below the threshold temperature, and wherein, when the device is exposed to a temperature above the threshold temperature, the material is at least partially disposed in a different portion of the reservoir.
A device for detecting a temperature above or below a threshold temperature, the device comprising:
- a cartridge defining an internal cavity and a window;
- a testing paper disposed within the internal cavity and visible through the window;
- and
- at least one solution disposed within the internal cavity,
- wherein, at a temperature below the threshold temperature, the at least one solution is in a solid state, and, at a temperature above the threshold temperature, the at least one solution is at least partially in a liquid state such that the liquid contacts the testing paper, causing a reaction with the testing paper.
