Abstract

The viscosity of a fluid may be determined using a flow rate determination. The flow rate may be determined based on fluid presence determinations within a capillary channel. Also, a temperature of an environment surrounding a capillary channel may be determined and signals may be transmitted to a thermal element responsive to the determined temperature.
