[Akiba] Sweet...I might have to try this out. Using WSNs to aid in making babies...[/Akiba] Body temperature can be measured to a thousandth of a degree to aid conception A start-up based in Cambridge, England, focusing on healthcare technologies, has started user trials of a wireless temperature sensor that can measure body temperature to within a thousandth of a degree. Cambridge Temperature Concepts (CTC) has already used the sensor to create a device to assist women in getting pregnant. The coin sized unit uses patent pending techniques to achieve huge power savings that can extend the battery life to in excess of six months rather than the usual life of a few days. The company says the sensor's "unprecedented" precision and long life open up many other novel applications in the medical field. Link
