Abstract

An electronic thermometer having a temperature sensing element for sensing a temperature and providing, over time, a series of temperature related electric parameters, and a data storing circuit connected to the temperature sensing element for storing the series of temperature related electric parameters. A data transmitting device is included which has an output and which is connected to the data storing circuit for transmitting the mentioned series of temperature related electric parameters upon command. A connector connected to the output of the data transmitting device has a command input which, when connected to a power source, receives an electrical command for commanding the data transmitting device to transmit data, and further has a data output device for providing thereon the data transmitted from the data transmitting device. An electrical energy storage device is electrically connected to the connector, and, when the connector is connected to the power source, receives and stores electrical energy. When the connector is not connected to the power source, the electrical energy storage device supplies the stored electrical energy to the temperature sensing element and the…
