Galileo-Thermometer

  

Functional principle: All liquids change their specific gravity as a result of changes in temprature. This principle has been used in the Galilei thermometers.

As the temperature rises, the liquid expands. Ist specific gravity decreases and the spheres sink. The current temperature is indicated by the lowest of the spheres which are still floating. To achieve an accuray of ½ °C, the glass spheres have to be precisely weighted to within two thousandths of a gram.

 

 

      

 

Body temperature measurement

An internationally leading company in the area of medical body temperature measurement, has concentrated on the development of new technologies aiming at the tele-medical field since 1998. The focus here is on the new type of mobile and Internet compatible temperature monitors.

It is developing solutions and technologies for one of the most important growth markets of the future – tele-medicine – contributing to better monitoring and diagnosis worldwide, thus helping both the doctor and the patient immensely. Our monitors permit a permanent monitoring and diagnosis. The bio-data stored, as for instance the body temperature values, can be recorded over a longer period of time, be graphically processed and be transmitted from the patient to the doctor by means of telecommunication.

With these new technologies, we and our partners worldwide are concentrating on the markets of homecare, clinics and especially the target group of pre-natal and ovulation diagnostics.

Innovative body temperature measurement technology for the future.

• mercury substitute
• core competence and mastering the new basic technology for substituting mercury (HG) with a new fluid metal (GALINSTAN)
• worldwide leader in mastering this technology
• first area of application: analogous thermometer
• the technology is protected by a patent until the year 2012, FDA listing
• existing legal bans, for instance in France, Scandinavia as well as planning for Europe and the USA are accelerating the international substitution of existing products containing mercury by  technology
• research and supplier relations with Siemens MRT-CT, DEISY, Phillips and Carl Zeiss Jena on developing further applications

 

Examples of Applications

• clinical thermometer in medical technology
• micro-relay and –tools in medical technology
• high-performance lubricant for cathode-beam tubes (MRT, CT)
• magnet-fluid technology in the area of metallurgy
• cooling agent for high-performance engines in the automotive field
