Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to determining an ambient temperature of an environment in which a device is operating. In some embodiments, the ambient temperature of the environment is determined by determining an initial temperature of the device and also determining when the temperature of the device reaches a first temperature threshold. When the temperature of the device reaches the first temperature threshold, the device is allowed to cool for a predetermined amount of time. Upon expiration of the amount of time, a change in temperature of the device over the amount of time is detected. The detected change in temperature is then used to determine an ambient temperature of the environment in which the device is operating.

At least one sensor may be arranged to detect the state of the detectable feature. Circuitry may be configured to provide a signal in response to a change in the state of the detectable feature detected by the at least one sensor.

Abstract: A blood pressure gauge for monitoring the blood pressure values of a patient in a darkened or low light environment. The blood pressure gauge is selectively illuminated when an internal air pressure within an attached blood pressure cuff is first detected or after it has reached a predetermined threshold value as determined by a pressure transducer in the blood pressure gauge.
