Abstract: An electronic thermometer contains inside its main body not only a temperature detecting device and a display device for displaying the measured body temperature but also a buzzer for outputting a warning sound. The buzzer is formed with a piezoelectric plate on an oscillating plate, having an elongated shape and being securely supported only at mutually opposite end parts in its longitudinal direction, and these end parts remain fixed in the primary mode of oscillation. A resonance chamber is formed between the buzzer and its support structure. A buzzer cover, which serves to secure the buzzer by contacting it only at its end parts, also contacts the main body in a direction opposite from the support structure so as to propagate the buzzer oscillations to the main body.

Abstract: A pedometer determines that the user does not wear the pedometer when the current number of steps is not more than a prescribed set value, not to employ the data of the current number of steps on the day the user does not wear the pedometer for calculating an average number of steps. If the current number of steps is in excess of the set value, the pedometer determines that the user wears the pedometer for adding the current number of steps to the total number of steps, adding 1 to the number of days and dividing the total number of steps by the number of days for calculating an average number of steps per day. Consequently, a pedometer having a function of displaying the average number of steps per day, which can not only maintain correctness of the average number of steps but also keep the user interested in exercise even if the user forgets wearing the pedometer, can be provided.
