A transaction terminal for use with diverse credit or other transaction cards is provided with an interface unit for receiving a plurality of modules, wherein each module contains programming information corresponding to transactions that may be carried out with at least one of the diverse identification cards presented to the machine. Accordingly, financial institutions who issue cards can independently arrange and program their own security and transaction routines which are to be carried out with the cards and distribute such routines in a secure manner for use on a common terminal.

A thermometer for measuring the temperature of a living being comprises a housing having a hollow probe extending outwardly therefrom in a distal direction and a temperature sensing element located at the distal end of the probe. The housing holds a digital display and electrical means in electrical communication with the temperature sensing element for converting the temperature measured by the temperature sensing element into a readout on the display element. A resilient soft cover covers the probe and a portion of the housing to form a gripping surface for the user while allowing visualization of the display element. The resilient cover is softer than the probe.

Disclosed herein is an improved programmable marking device in two preferred embodiments thereof. In a first embodiment, the device includes a keyboard-display portion into which is mounted a removable portable marking device with the marking device having circuitry therein which is electrically connected with the computer in the keyboard-display portion when the removable portable marking device is inserted into a specially designed receptacle in the keyboard-display portion. In the operation of the first embodiment, the keyboard is used to type the message which is desired to be printed by the marking device and the desired message is displayed on the display and corrected as desired while the marking device is plugged into the receptacle. That which is displayed in the display has also been transmitted electrically to a memory device contained within the removable portable marking device. When it is desired to print the message, the marking device is removed from the receptacle and placed on the substantially planar surface at the location where it is desired to mark a message. A button is depressed to activate the marker and the message is printed exactly as it was presented in the display of the keyboard-display portion. In the second embodiment of the present invention, all of the functions described above are contained within a single self-contained portable unit. In either embodiment, other functions may be included such as time and calculation.
