Abstract
A temperature monitoring device having a sealed inviolatable housing in which a temperature sensor is located. Temperature recording means within the housing obtain successive temperature readings as sensed by the temperature sensor over a period of time. Temperature storage means also within the housing provide for storage of the temperature readings, and infrared data transmission means within the housing enable the stored temperature reading to be transferred to a reader device.
Claims12
A temperature monitoring device comprising a sealed housing adapted for placement within an environment the temperature of which is to be monitored, said housing having located therein a temperature sensor and a storage system in which temperature readings can be stored, there being further provided a contactless communication means formed by infrared data transmission means, said housing including a window via which said transmission can occur and location means such that the housing can be located with a reader such that said window can align with an aperture of said reader whereby stored temperature readings can be transferred by infrared transmission through said window to said reader when said monitoring device is in position on said reader.
A temperature monitoring system including a reader device and a temperature monitoring devices said monitoring device comprising a sealed and inviolable housing, a temperature sensor located within said housing, means within said housing for taking successive temperature readings as sensed by the temperature sensor over a period of time, temperature storage means within said housing for storing said temperature readings, said reader device and said temperature monitoring device having cooperating locating means whereby the monitoring device can be placed on said reader device such that infrared data transmission means incorporated within said monitoring device can register with communication means of the reader and said temperature readings can be transferred between said monitoring device and said reader device.
