Claim Text:
1. A monitor system for a tub, comprising: a sensing circuit, including a transducer configured to be at least partially immersed in water contained in the tub, the transducer comprising a temperature sensor configured to sense temperature fluctuations attributable to movement of a person situated within the water contained in the tub, the sensing circuit providing an output signal; a microprocessor operatively coupled to the sensing circuit to receive the output signal and configured to process the output signal to determine if movement of the person situated within the water contained in the tub has been sensed within a predetermined time period and to initiate an alarm sequence if movement of the person situated within the tub has not been sensed within the predetermined time period; and an alert device operatively coupled to the microprocessor for selective activation by the microprocessor.
