    摘要: A nanocalorimeter device includes a substrate having test cells, each test cell comprising a sample location. Each sample location includes a reaction surface suitable for an enthalpic reaction of constituents of liquid droplets, droplet movement and configured to merge the droplets, and a layer of thermochromic material thermally coupled to the reaction surface. The thermochromic material is configured to exhibit a spectral shift in light emanating from the thermochromic material in response to a change in temperature of the merged droplets.

    摘要: A new and useful thermochromic liquid crystal Indicator is disclosed that provides an indication of the temperature of the Object to which the Indicator is attached, and is an improvement over the existing art for at least the fact that the impact of ambient air circulating around the Indicator and circulating the Object is reduced by several means, such as i) the use of a novel cap or housing to isolate the liquid crystal Structure from ambient air and from touching or ii) using a novel liquid crystal formulation that reduces the reaction time of the thermochromic liquid crystal contained in the Indicator to changing temperatures conveyed by the ambient air. The new and useful liquid crystal Indicator can also employ either a template or a colored filter as a mask that narrows the colors and narrows the range of temperatures indicated by the Indicator. Further, the new and useful Indicator can also employ a new manner in which to indicate that a predetermined temperature or predetermined temperature range has been reached in that it eliminates the confusion arising from the use of multiple temperature indicating panels that were present in the prior art devices.

    摘要: A decoration for a computing device includes at least one thermochromic pigment. The decoration is located next to a heat exhaust port of a computing device to change color based on the heat exhausted by the computing device. Further, a computing device may include a heat exhaust port for dissipating heat, and a decoration coupled to the computing device adjacent to the heat exhaust port. The decoration includes at least one thermochromic pigment to change color based on heat exhausted by the heat exhaust.
