Abstract: A probe cover for ear thermometer is disclosed. The probe cover is installed on the probe by a plurality of elastic recesses being disposed at an open end of the probe cover for ear thermometer. In accordance with the elasticity of the elastic recesses, the probe cover can be easily and firmly installed at the probe of the ear thermometer. The damage of the probe cover can be avoided because of over extending.

Abstract: The invention discloses an electrochemical strip reading apparatus and method. The electrochemical strip reading apparatus comprises a housing, a monitor, a slot for an electrochemical strip and a code card, a current detecting and converting circuit, and a microprocessor. The code card not only provides complete identification information for the electrochemical strip, but also is used as a memory card and a calibration card.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a base, a skid base, a housing and an electrode. The base is formed with a first inclined plane. The skid base is formed with a second inclined plane opposing the first inclined plane, where the second inclined plane is disposed on the first inclined plane in a slidable manner. The skid base is formed with a load plane opposite to the second inclined plane, and an inclined angle is between the load plane and a first inclined plane. The housing and the base are assembled with each other to accommodate the skid base in the housing. Opposing sides of the housing are formed with an insertion port, respectively, allowing an electrode and a strip to be inserted and connected to the electrical connector.

Abstract: An improved structure of a clinical thermometer in which a dielectric (such as air or heat conductive, hard or soft foam with a low conductivity coefficient) is packed into the metal tip section of its measuring extremity such that the inductive component and the inductor wire disposed in the metal tip section are in a helical arrangement and entirely attached to the inner wall of the metal tip section, allowing inducted temperature to attain heat equilibrium as well as swift heat conduction, thereby enabling the clinical thermometer to immediately indicate the precise temperature. The clinical thermometer body is of one-piece molded construction and, furthermore, a pliable section having exceptional dustproof and waterproof properties is sleeved over the depressible flat element of its on-off switch.

Abstract: A method of stabilizing a clinical thermometer and the apparatus thereof are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of pre-heating the surrounding temperature to a pre-set temperature prior to using the clinical thermometer for measuring temperature; and providing compensational temperature by way of heat energy by a control circuit such that the surrounding temperature is maintained and stabilized at the pre-set temperature so as to avoid the change of the surrounding temperature from affecting the measured temperature. The stabilizing devices for a clinical thermometer comprises a clinical thermometer probe head which is a material capable of producing heat energy; and a heating controller connected to the probe head which provides cavity heating for the probe head prior to temperature measuring to the pre-set surrounding temperature, thereby the heating controller causes the surrounding temperature to maintain at a constant and stable temperature such that the precision of measuring is accurate.

Abstract: An improved structure of the measuring end of a clinical thermometer having a body and a measuring end, characterized in that an pivotal actuating articulation is formed at the junction connecting the measuring end and the body such that the measuring end can be turned and positioned at an angle, thereby the user can hold the thermometer in a comfortable position in measuring the body temperature. The positioning of the pivotal actuating articulation is attained by having a protrusion in engagement with a cavity or an embossed mark. The entire surface of the thermometer is covered with a soft material outerjacket such that the articulation is hidden.

Abstract: A thermometer having a tubular measuring end, a metal head engaged with the tubular measuring end, a sensor arranged within the metal head, and epoxy filled inside the metal head, the metal head being a tubular member with an open end and a closed end, the improvement wherein a tubular metal sleeve made of conducting material is fitted inside the tubular metal head, the tubular metal sleeve having a bottom formed with an inner surface that curves outwardly and an outer surface that curves inwardly the bottom being formed with a center hole and a radial notch, the sensor being positioned in a space which is enclosed by the metal head and the bottom of the tubular metal sleeve, whereby when the tubular measuring end is fitted into the metal head, the tubular metal sleeve will be pushed into the metal head thereby squeezing the gem into the tubular metal sleeve and the tubular measuring end through the center hole and therefore reinforcing engagement between the tubular metal sleeve and the tubular measuring end
