A thermometer may be required for the precise measurement of temperatures. However, in many cases, an absolute value isn’t required and a relative estimate is sufficient. For example, the consumer may be alerted to the fact that an electric drill or vacuum cleaner is becoming hot, through a basic LED illumination, or through changing color […]
