Abstract

The invention relates to body temperature measurement of humans and animals. More particularly, the invention provides a clinical electronic thermometer (10) provided with a vocal output and transmitting means. The invention comprises an elongated housing (12), a thermistor (18) being located at one end thereof, and a piezoelectric speaker (20) located adjacent to a grill (22) in the housing and an electronic processing system (24) connected to apply a known voltage to the thermistor for measuring the electrical resistance thereof, and to process this measurement and to send corresponding electrical pulses to the speaker to produce a vocal output of the measured temperature, the system further includes an analog/digital converter (30) and ohmmeter (26) connected to said thermistor, a microprocessor (32) connected to said ohmmeter, a RAM memory (34) connected to said microprocessor to retain at least the latest temperature measurement, a ROM memory (36) connected to said microprocessor to permanently store pre-recorded analog data required for speech generation of words needed for producing temperature announcements, and at least one amplifier (38) connected to said microprocessor; and finally a retaining device (40) inside the housing for an electric storage battery (42), the device having connections to power said electronic processing system (24).
