A sensor line, a measuring arrangement and a method detect a change in an ambient variable. The sensor line serves for detecting a change in an ambient variable, in particular the temperature. The sensor line has a first optical waveguide, a second optical waveguide and also a material that changes its transparency depending on the value of the ambient variable. The material is positioned between the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide in such a way that light from the first optical waveguide is able to be coupled into the second optical waveguide in an event of a change in the transparency. |

An over temperature alarming display apparatus. The apparatus includes a first sealed transparent container which has a constant containment and a second sealed transparent container which has a variable containment. The first and second container is communicated each other by a thin guide pipe in a section of which there is liquid. There is some alarming display material in the first and second container respectively which receives the liquid flowing from the thin guide pipe and then occurs a color changing effect. The air in the first and second container occurs dilation by heating and shrinking by cooling due to the change of the ambient temperature, thus pushes the liquid to move in the thin guide pipe. Then the moving liquid flows to the alarming display material in the first container at the lower limit temperature value and/or flows to the alarming display material in the second container at the upper limit temperature value. |

The thermometer has temperature sensing tip, a processor taking temperature readings and determining a sensed temperature reading of the living being from the temperature sensing tip. The thermometer also includes a display and a backlight for lighting the display. The backlight is activated upon a command from the processor and the processor determines whether a decrease in the temperature readings exceeds or is equal to a predetermined threshold in order to activate the backlight. The method embodiment can includes the steps of using the processor to monitor a temperature change indicated by a temperature sensing element. The processor then detects a temperature decrease and activates a first color light emitting element to backlight a display if the temperature decrease exceeds or equals a predetermined threshold. |

Food safety can be enhanced by applying a temperature indicating element to packaging for a food product. The element can be applied before or after the food product has been inserted into the packaging. The color of the element indicates if the temperature of the packaged food product has rise to an unsafe level, and/or, has stayed at or above that level for a predetermined time interval. |
