Examples of thermistor
thermistor
The thermistor is located a few millimetres away from the top of the cell.

Most have an internal thermistor or thermocouple or can be connected to external sources.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This is because the PPG sensor is more sensitive than a thermistor to minute blood flow changes.

These instruments based their measurement on detecting the heating effect in a load resistor with a thermistor.
From the en.wikipedia.org
In order to achieve sufficient density of atoms, the device was heated using resistor heaters and the temperature was monitored using a thermistor.
From the nature.com
One such is the electrical resistance of a thermistor, with specified construction, calibrated against operationally defined fixed points.
From the en.wikipedia.org
They are typically hand assembled using a cavity painted with carbon as the light absorber, an electrical wire as the heater, and a semiconductor as the thermistor.

In this paper, Chua applied this model to empirically observed phenomena, including the Hodgkin-Huxley model of the axon and a thermistor at constant ambient temperature.

- A semiconductor device made of materials whose resistance varies as a function of temperature; can be used to compensate for temperature variation in other components of a circuit
- A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance varies significantly with temperature. The word is a portmanteau of thermal and resistor. Thermistors are widely used as inrush current limiters, temperature sensors, self-resetting overcurrent protectors, and self-regulating heating elements.
- A temperature sensitive resistor usually made from specially processed oxides that are used to sense end of charge temperature rises and terminates high rate charging.
- A non-linear resistance temperature detector made from semi-conductor material. The thermistor trip point is defined as the point where resistance suddenly rises or falls depending on the type of thermistor. ...
- Thermistors are placed on or near the spindle stator to monitor the heat of the motor windings. The machine control monitors the outputs of the thermistor and if the outputs reach an overheat level the spindle is shut down. Read More...
- A resistor that regulates an electrical circuit based upon temperature.
- A semiconductor which exhibits rapid and extremely large changes in resistance for relatively small changes in temperature.
- A temperature - compensated resistor. The degree of its resistance varies with the temperature. In some regulators, it controls a Zener diode so that a higher system voltage is produced in cold weather, when needed.
- A circuit element with a negative temperature coefficient. It is built into batteries and used to detect ambient temperature or battery temperature. A battery charger may use this device to properly charge a battery.
