24. A temperature sensing glove, comprising:
-
at least one temperature sensor; a plurality of memory locations; a plurality of finger portions; at least one touch-sensitive pad which is associated with one of said plurality of memory locations; a thumb portion; and at least one activating element which, upon contacting one of the at least one touch-sensitive pads, assigns subsequent readings of the at least one temperature sensor to the memory location associated with that finger portion. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. A temperature sensing glove, comprising:
-
a temperature sensor disposed in a first finger of the glove; a temperature sensor activator disposed in a second finger of the glove, and being adapted to activate said temperature sensor when it is brought into proximal contact therewith; a plurality of memory locations; at least one touch-sensitive pad which is associated with one of said plurality of memory locations; and at least one activating element disposed in each of said first and second fingers of the glove which, upon contacting one of the at least one touch-sensitive pads, assigns subsequent readings of the at least one temperature sensor to the memory location associated with that finger portion.
