Abstract: A digital thermometer with enhanced conformity to the anatomy, such as in and around the mouth of a human being. A non-linear probe has a temperature sensor at a first end adapted to be inserted into the mouth and under the tongue, and a downwardly disposed housing portion at the second end. An intermediate portion of the probe is shaped to rest on the lower lip and/or teeth. The probe can be rotatably or pivotally attached to the housing to protect the probe by being recessed in the housing when not in use and/or to adjust to any size mouth. A plurality of ribs at the intermediate portion of the probe can be included to contact the lips and/or teeth for greater positional stability of the thermometer. A display component displays the measured temperature. Electronic circuitry receives a temperature signal from the temperature sensor, translates the signal into a value representative of the measured temperature, and provides the translated value to the display for displaying the temperature.

Abstract: A digital thermometer with enhanced conformity to the anatomy, such as in and around the mouth of a human being. A non-linear probe has a temperature sensor at a first end adapted to be inserted into the mouth and under the tongue, and a downwardly disposed housing portion at the second end. An intermediate portion of the probe is shaped to rest on the lower lip and/or teeth. The probe is preferably integrally molded with the housing. The probe may also be flexible such that it may be bent into the desired non-linear configuration prior to use. Such a flexible probe may have an internal stiffener with a softer plastic overmold. A display component displays the measured temperature. Electronic circuitry receives a temperature signal from the temperature sensor, translates the signal into a value representative of the measured temperature, and provides the translated value to the display for displaying the temperature.

Abstract: Cases are provided for carrying medication delivery devices such as auto-injectors, syringes or vials. The cases include a cradling structure to protect the medication delivery device from jostling and impact encountered during transport.

Abstract: Probe covers for oral digital thermometers are provided. The probe covers include a flavoring. Methods of making and using such probe covers are also provided.

Abstract: An audio playback device is formed in the configuration of a conventional telephone. The device includes an image plate having a plurality of images thereon, and an integrated circuit assembly having a memory which is pre-programmed with a plurality of sound tracks which correspond to the images on the image plate. The circuit assembly further includes an output unit for outputting selected sound tracks, and a switch assembly for actuating the output unit for outputting selected sound tracks. The device is further provided with a rotatable selector for individually selecting the images and for operating the switch assembly.
