Temperature sensing device

Abstract

Abstract A temperature sensor comprises an electrical tempera- tun* sensing element such as a thermistor and a pair of high-resistance conductors of conductive fluorine resin which are electrically connected to the electrical temperature sensing element. The conductors of conductive fluorine resin are disposed on opposite surfaces of a body of fluorine resin. The electrical temperature sensing element may be sandwiched between the pair of high-resistance conductors. One of the conductors may comprise a high-resistance thin metal wire coated with fluorine resin and the other a body of conductive fluorine resin mounted on the fluorine resin coating. Alternatively, the high-resistance conductors may comprise high-resistance thin metal wires coated with fluorine resin and twisted around each other. The temperature sensor thus constructed may be used in microwave therapy as it is less subject to rejection by human body tissues and does. not reflect applied microwaves.
