TEMPERATURE MONITOR Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: biological and medical thermometry. SUBSTANCE: temperature monitor is designed for accurate measurement, recording of temperature indices in the long time interval and for their transmission for processing. It has temperature-sensitive elements 1, multiplexer 2, analog-to-digital converter 3, timer 4, storage 5, control unit 6, frame counter 7, power supply source 8 and key 9. Temperature-sensitive element incorporates thermoelectric converter 10, thermal insulation coat 11, thermal conductive plate 12 and mechanism 13 for attachment to patient's body. Value of time interval between filling or reading of one information frame is fed to setting input 14 of timer. Input 15 of temperature monitor setting its operational mode is designed to switch it over either to mode of measurement of temperature or to mode of transmission of measurement results to output 16. EFFECT: high accuracy and informativeness of measurements. 1 cl, 2 dwg
