AI Thread Summary
Remote button-sized thermometers that interface via USB and measure temperature over a 24-hour period are being sought. Users can retrieve data by plugging the thermometer back into a cradle after use. The discussion mentions a specific product link from MicroDAQ that may fit the requirements. Participants highlight the difficulty in finding similar devices, as most available options are wired. The conversation concludes with a positive acknowledgment of the suggested resource.

I am trying to find these little remote button sized thermometers that I used at an old job. They interfaced via USB, through a little cradle that you plugged them into. They would measure temperature over a 24 hour (or so) period. You then take them from where you were taking the measurement and plug them back into the cradle to get the temperature over time reading. If anyone know what these are called or a website for them I would really appreciate it. I've googled it a bit, but can't find what I'm looking for. Everything that I've seen has been wired to the sensor.

Thank you.

Something like http://www.microdaq.com/acr/smartbutton/smartbutton.php" maybe? That site also has a pretty good selection of other data loggers as well.

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...

Thread 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
