Abstract
Abstract A thermometer includes a temperature transmitting unit and a temperature receiving unit which are disposed on opposite sides of an exterior wall or window. An outdoor temperature sensor is connected to the transmitting unit for modulating the transmitted radio waves. The transmitting unit and receiver unit communicate with each other via radio waves so that they are not in physical contact with each other.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
A thermometer comprising: temperature detecting means, including a temperature sensor, for detecting temperature; carrier wave generating means for generating high frequency waves; modulating means for modulating carrier waves delivered from said carrier wave generating means with output signals from said temperature detecting means into modulated output signals; transmitting means including an antenna for converting the output signals from said modulating means into waves; receiving means including an antenna for receiving said waves from said transmitting antenna; demodulating means for demodulating the carrier waves and output signals from said modulating means received by said receiving means; an A/D converter connected to said demodulating means for converting the output from said demodulating means; and displaying means for displaying the output from said A/D converter; wherein said transmitting means and receiving means are disposed so as not to be in physical contact with each other and mounted on opposite sides of any one of a wall, partition and window so as to be located substantially adjacent each other.
