Patent number: 5174656Abstract: A device for measuring the temperature of humans having a measuring device which is placed in contact with the skin and a triggering mechanism for activating the temperature measurement. The triggering mechanism is activated by a change in polarization impedance which is measured by a sensor. The sensor's impedance may vary as a result of contact with bodily fluids, such as urine or sweat. After the temperature measurement is made, the results may be transmitted, displayed, or stored in the memory of the device.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1991Date of Patent: December 29, 1992Inventor: Simon Dotan
