Siegbert Kamitz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Low melting gallium, indium, and tin eutectic alloys, and thermometers employing same
    Patent number: 6019509
    Abstract: A clinical thermometer with maximum function with a non-toxic eutectic Ga alloy as measuring fluid 14 inside a measuring tube 13 which provides adhesion forces larger than the cohesion forces inherent in liquid 14. To reach the maximum function, therefore, the customary Hick'sche constriction is not required any more facilitating production and handling of said clinical thermometer. Furthermore, a special Ga/In/Sn alloy is described, which may be used not only for clinical thermometers but also as a lubricant.

  • Clinical thermometer
    Patent number: 5800060
    Abstract: A clinical thermometer registers the maximum temperature reached and uses as the thermometric fluid a non-toxic gallium/indium alloy which adheres to the walls of the thermometer measuring tube, the adhesive force being greater than the internal cohesive force of the thermometric liquid. A Gallium/indium/tin eutectic alloy is particularly useful in such applications and others.
