System and method of monitoring temperature

A method of monitoring temperature using a temperature monitoring device, said temperature monitoring device including a temperature sensor and a central processing unit (CPU), the CPU comprising memory, said memory consisting of volatile memory that stores no more than a single temperature measurement at a time, said method comprising the steps of:

• (a) taking a first temperature measurement using said temperature sensor,
• (b) storing the results of said first temperature measurement into the volatile memory of said CPU,
• (c) taking a second temperature measurement using said temperature sensor, and
• (d) storing the results of said second temperature measurement into the volatile memory of said CPU, the results of said second temperature measurement overwriting the results of said first temperature measurement stored in the volatile memory of said CPU.

• (a) taking a first temperature measurement using said temperature sensor during a first time interval;
• (b) storing the results of said first temperature measurement into the volatile memory of said CPU during the first time interval;
• (c) analyzing the results of said first temperature measurement using said CPU during a second time interval;
• (d) taking a second temperature measurement using said temperature sensor during the second time interval;
• and
• (e) storing the results of said second temperature measurement into the volatile memory of said CPU during the second time interval, the results of said second temperature measurement overwriting the results of said first temperature measurement stored in the volatile memory of said CPU.
