ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 28 -- Paul B. Egidio of Sonoma, Calif., has developed an approach for digitally measuring temperature in support of a monitoring application.
According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Multiple probes, according to one embodiment, are deployed for sensing environmental parameters (e.g., temperature, liquid level, flow). Each probe has a thermally conductive cylindrical housing containing one or more digital temperature sensors. In addition, one of the probes includes analog inputs (e.g., Brix probe, level sensor, and flow sensor)."
An abstract of the invention, released by the Patent Office, said: "The probes share a common fixed size bus and communicates ...
