    摘要: A circuit board is disclosed that has a pre-warming function. The circuit board includes a substrate and one or more conductive paths embedded in the substrate. The one or more electrically conductive paths include a logic control circuit containing a heating element and a temperature-sensitive element configured to control the heating element and deliver an input when the temperature-sensitive element has reached a threshold temperature. The one or more electrically conductive paths further includes a heater power circuit configured to deliver power to the logic control circuit. The one or more electrically conductive paths further includes an operational power circuit configured to switch off power to the heater power circuit and switch on power to the operational power circuit upon a delivery of the input from the logic control circuit.

    摘要: A measuring apparatus and a physical characteristic measuring device are provided. The measuring apparatus includes at least one first physical characteristic measuring device and a data processing device. The first physical characteristic measuring device includes a sensor, a signal processing circuit, and a transmission path. The sensor generates a measurement signal according to the physical characteristics of a location where the first physical characteristic measuring device is located.
