Abstract: An exhaust gas temperature indicator for a gas turbine engine is disclosed in which data representing discrete overtemperature events occurring at different times is stored in a nonvolatile memory for later retrieval and display on an event-by-event basis. A character display is used to provide detailed digital, alphanumeric or other character information relating to each overtemperature event, such as the number, temperature zone, peak temperature and duration of the event. An indicator is provided for indicating the presence of unacknowledged temperature data in the memory device, and a maximum exhaust gas temperature value for an aircraft flight is stored. An analog display for continuously displaying current exhaust gas temperature values is provided in conjunction with a character display for displaying either current or stored values.

Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring an externally applied parameter to selected products. The invention involves a housing enclosing a sensor, and a monitoring and output network. The sensor has a characteristic that varies in some predetermined manner with variation in the monitored parameter. The monitoring and output network involves a sensor which produces a signal representative of the monitored characteristic. Values associated with the signal are stored in a memory device for subsequent, selected retrieval.

Abstract: An electronic thermometer is particularly adapted for use as a fever thermometer and employs a unique temperature sensor configuration comprising a platinum temperature sensing resistor and tantalum nitride reference resistor both mounted on the same substrate. The resistors are selectively coupled to the input of a dual ramp integrator forming part of an analog to digital converter. Digital control circuitry causes the sensing resistor to be coupled to the input of the integrator during a first mode and causes the reference resistor to be coupled to the input during a second mode. Included in the digital circuitry is a first sensor memory and a second reference memory. These memories have stored therein a digital number indicative of the response of both resistors at a predetermined temperature obtained during initial calibration of the sensor and thermometer. The stored values are compared during the respective mode with the accumulated count in a clock counting circuit.

Abstract: An electronic thermometer includes a memory system for storing the body temperature data measured by a temperature sensing element. The memory system has ten memory sections for storing the temperature data of each of last ten days. A graphic display system is associated with the memory system for displaying the temperature data stored in the memory system in a bar graph fashion, thereby indicating the temperature variation of these ten days.
