Abstract: A thermometer includes a tip member with a thermal contact surface and a first thermal sensor disposed therein for sensing the temperature thereof and producing a first temperature signal. A probe member secured to the tip member includes a front end portion with a thermal compensation point and a second thermal sensor is disposed within the front end portion for sensing the temperature of the thermal compensation point and producing a second temperature signal. A processing unit, disposed within the probe member for receiving the first and second temperature signal, selects a thermal compensation value corresponding to the second temperature signal at a rate of temperature change of the first temperature signal lower than a predetermined value. The thermal compensation value is adapted to compensate the first temperature signal thereby producing an estimated temperature value. And a display unit displays a temperature reading based on the estimated temperature value.

Abstract: A thermometer is constituted by a flexible probe body and a metal tip member with a thermal contact surface. The flexible probe body including a narrower space neighboring the metal tip member and a wider space communicated with the narrower space is secured to the metal tip member by a hook structure. A thermal sensor mounted on the inside of the thermal contact surface of the metal tip member is adapted for sensing the temperature of the thermal contact surface and producing a temperature signal. A set of lead wires is coupled to the thermal sensor for transmission of the temperature signal. In particular, a thermally conductive adhesive material filling the metal tip member, the narrower space and the wider space is cured to integrately form the hook structure.

Abstract: A deflectable probe for use in a thermometer. The deflectable probe is constituted by a bendable probe body and a hollow tip member secured thereto. Furthermore, a deflectable member includes a main portion disposed in the bendable probe body. When the bendable probe body is subjected to a force, deformation of the main portion occurs. In particular, the deformation cannot be undone by a return force from the bendable probe body when the applied force is removed, so that the bendable probe body is sustained in a bent form. A space is formed between the hollow pipe and the main portion of the deflectable member for deformation of the main portion to prevent the deflectable member being easily pushed into the hollow cavity and avoid the lead wires being easily cut off.

Abstract: An ear thermometer including a main body and a probe secured thereto for receiving heat radiation emitted from ear canal. A disposable sheath is operative to surround the probe and isolate the probe from contact with the ear canal. A non-detachable cap which is secured to the main body and the probe are movable relative to each other, thereby allowing the disposable sheath to be popped off of the probe by movement of the non-detachable cap or the probe.

The body member includes a display portion with a display aperture and a probe portion secured thereto. A thermal sensor mounted on the inside of the tip member is adapted for sensing a thermal contact surface and producing a temperature signal. A display unit disposed in the display portion receives the temperature signal for display of a corresponding temperature reading. And a transparent layer with a protrusion extending from an upper surface thereof at least covers the display unit under the display aperture. In particular, an outer wall of the protrusion is closely engaged with an inner wall of the display aperture.

Abstract: A face mask for use in gas delivery applications, such as breathable gas or aerosol drug systems. The face mask includes a body having a peripheral edge for placement against the face of a wearer. The peripheral edge defines a single chamber over the nose and the mouth of the wearer. An inlet opening is formed on a surface of the body for supplying inhalation gas to the nose through the chamber. A vent assembly inwardly extends from the surface of the body to the chamber and seals around the mouth for passing exhalation gas to the exterior of the body.
