Abstract

Electronic thermometer and method for determining temperature in which compensation is provided for the localized cooling of a body caused by bringing a sensing element of lower temperature into contact with the body. The output of the sensing element is combined with a signal representative of the initial temperature of the element to compensate for the localized cooling and provide an advance indication of the equilibrium temperature of the body.
