Temperature monitoring device and thermocouple assembly therefor
First Claim
1. A temperature monitoring device for measuring the temperature at a surface of a body, comprisingat least one first thermocouple and a second thermocouple;
- means supporting said thermocouples for placing said first thermocouple in contact with the body surface and for maintaining said second thermocouple at a defined spacing from the body surface; and
calculating means connected to said thermocouples for receiving individual signals each representative of the temperature reading produced by a respective one of said first and second thermocouples and for producing a corrected temperature signal having a value which represents the temperature of the body surface and is a function of the difference between the temperature reading produced by said first thermocouple and a selected fraction of the temperature reading provided by said second thermocouple.

Abstract
A temperature monitoring device for measuring the temperature at a surface of a body, composed of: at least one first thermocouple and a second thermocouple; support members supporting the thermocouples for placing the first thermocouple in contact with the body surface and for maintaining the second thermocouple at a defined spacing from the body surface; and a calculating circuit connected to the thermocouples for receiving individual signals each representative of the temperature reading produced by a respective one of the first and second thermocouples and for producing a corrected temperature signal having a value which represents the temperature of the body surface and is a function of the difference between the temperature reading produced by the first thermocouple and a selected fraction of the temperature reading provided by the second thermocouple.
