Abstract: A thermometer for detecting and displaying a temperature of food (or the like) is provided. The thermometer has a housing with an upper surface having a temperature display region thereon. The housing has an opposing lower surface. A probe has one end that extends from the lower surface. The probe is pivotal relative to the lower surface. The lower surface defines a rotational member housing and a corresponding rotational member disposed in the rotational member housing. The rotational member housing is configured to rotate within its housing. The probe, or an associated boss or connecting member, extends from the rotational member. Therefore, rotational movement of the rotational member causes the probe to pivot relative to the housing. The probe can pivot between a first position in which the probe is generally parallel with a length of the housing, and a second position generally perpendicular to the housing.

Abstract: A system for detecting a mold condition has a base unit configured to receive and display the temperature and the humidity from a remote sensing unit. The base unit is configured to determine if a mold condition is present at a location of the remote sensing unit based on a time interval the remote sensing unit detects the humidity and the temperature above predetermined thresholds, and display an indicator if the mold condition is present. A method of detecting a mold condition includes wirelessly transmitting a detected humidity and temperature from a sensing unit to a base unit, monitoring the temperature and the humidity across a time interval, and providing an indicator if the mold condition is present when the temperature and the humidity are above predetermined thresholds for the time interval.

Abstract: A scale includes a weighing panel supported by a platform, a measurement module in communication with the weighing panel, a user interface supported by the platform and having at least one display and a user input, and a controller. The controller is in communication with the user interface and the measurement module. The controller is configured to: (i) receive a signal from the measurement module to determine a weight of a user, (ii) command the display to show the weight, (iii) receive an activity selection from the user input, and (iv) command the display to show the activity and a corresponding activity calorie estimate based on the weight of the user.
