TEMPERATURE MONITORING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A temperature monitoring apparatus, comprising:
- a casing formed with a first hole therethrough;
a detector disposed in said casing, and adapted to detect extension of an object into said first hole in said casing;
a first sensor disposed in said casing, and adapted to measure a temperature of the object extended into said first hole in said casing;
a controller unit coupled to said detector and said first sensor, and operable so as to generate an actual temperature value with reference to the temperature measured by said first sensor; and
an indicator unit coupled to and controlled by said controller unit so as to provide a first indication when said detector detects absence of the object in said first hole in said casing, and a second indication when the actual temperature value generated by said controller unit is within a predetermined temperature range.

Abstract
A temperature monitoring apparatus includes a casing, a detector, a sensor, a controller unit, and an indicator unit. The casing is formed with a hole therethrough. The detector is disposed in the casing, and detects extension of an object into the hole in the casing. The sensor is disposed in the casing, and is adapted to measure a temperature of the object extended into the hole in the casing. The controller unit is coupled to the detector and the sensor, and is operable so as to generate an actual temperature value with reference to the temperature measured by the sensor. The indicator unit is coupled to and controlled by the controller unit so as to provide an indication when the detector detects absence of the object in the hole in the casing.
