ABSTRACT:
An automatic system for recognizing a shift in basal body temperature indicative of the beginning of a period of infertility combines a device for measurement of urine temperature with a signal processing subsystem. Two specific forms of temperature measurement device are disclosed, and both are adapted for positioning in a toilet bowl.
