  • Publication number: 20100031013
    Abstract: An injection molding machine system for setting system parameters provides an interface unit displaying a boot interface, a common module interface, a new module setting interface, and a main operating interface. If not all the system parameter values need be modified, the system parameters are loaded on the boot interface and the main operating interface are started. If some of the system parameter values need be modified, the system parameter values are loaded, modified, and saved on the common module interface and the main operating interface are started. If all the system parameter values need be set, the system parameter values are saved on the new module setting interface and the main operating interface are started. If the system parameter values modified need be fine-tuned, the system parameter values are fine-tuned on the main operating interface.

  • Patent number: 7618185
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric medical thermometer for measuring temperature of patients in cavity. The electric medical thermometer comprises a temperature detecting set, including a temperature detecting element, for capturing temperature signals and a temperature calculating device for temperature signals processing. By combining a primary sampling frequency with a secondary sampling frequency, where the primary sampling frequency is greater than the secondary sampling frequency, the temperature calculating device translates temperature signals captured from the temperature detecting device into a temperature measurement. The underlining method of the present invention is realized by imitating the physiology of the heart beat pulse, which serves as a resource engine of thermal compensation and as an example for the sampling frequency in order to attain more precise and reliable temperature measurement.

  • Publication number: 20090147823
    Abstract: An electronic pacifier thermometer is provided. The electronic pacifier thermometer is composed of a pacifier device and a measurement device. The pacifier device has a built-in temperature sensing element (e.g., a temperature sensor) and a connector element. The measurement device contains a display, a circuit board mainly which is controlled by an integrated circuit, and a cable element. The circuit board contains an incomplete temperature measurement circuit that would be made complete through connection to the temperature sensing element. The temperature measurement circuit has a reference resistor (could also be installed inside the pacifier device) whose resistance difference is relative to the temperature sensing element in the pacifier device which is linearly corresponds to the temperature difference between the measured temperature and a predetermined temperature value.
