Abstract
A device for measuring the temperature of humans having a measuring device which is placed in contact with the skin and a triggering mechanism for activating the temperature measurement. The triggering mechanism is activated by a change in polarization impedance which is measured by a sensor. The sensor's impedance may vary as a result of contact with bodily fluids, such as urine or sweat. After the temperature measurement is made, the results may be transmitted, displayed, or stored in the memory of the device.
Claims17
A system for measuring and indicating temperature comprising:
- (a) a temperature measurement device;
- (b) temperature measurement activating means which activates said temperature measurement device when measured polarization impedance varies from a temperature measurement triggering value comprising:
- (1) polarization impedance measurement means;
- and
- (2) a control unit which compares said measured polarization impedance to said temperature measurement triggering value;
- and
- (c) a temperature indicating device.
A system for measuring and indicating the temperature of humans comprising a polarization impedance probe supporting first and second sensors:
- (a) said first sensor being a detecting sensor for detecting a change of polarization impedance when contacted by a bodily fluid, said detecting sensor comprising two closely spaced and electrically insulated from each other electrodes;
- (b) said second sensor being a temperature sensor;
- and,
- (c) triggering means for triggering the temperature measurement when such a change of polarization impedance takes place upon contact with a bodily fluid.
