Smart thermometer. A smart thermometer is a medical thermometer which is able to transmit its readings so that they can be collected, stored and analyzed.

Since 2012 Kinsa has distributed smart thermometers to two million households across the US.  The thermometers transmit their readings to an app on the users' phones.  Users are then able to see a history of their temperature readings.  The information is also consolidated to show an overall temperature map.  This shows hot spots where the level of high temperatures is exceptional and so can be used to identify outbreaks of disease.

Continuous readings can be provided by wearable or adhesive thermometers but it is difficult to measure core body temperature in this way.  Invasive sensors can be attached in a hospital setting such as intensive care or neonatal care.  For more general use, form-factors such as arm bands and earbuds have been tried.  Novel technologies under development include skin tattoos using flexible electronics and deep body heat flux sensors.

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots Arena. Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots Arena is a video game developed by Paradox and published by Mattel Interactive for the PlayStation in 2000.

Reception

The game received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. David Chen of NextGen said that the game was "Neither dull as lead nor strong as steel." Shawn Sparks of GameRevolution found the concept of the game to be a "pretty nifty idea", but that it was poorly executed thanks to its outdated engine.

Electricar DV4. The Electricar DV4 is a 4-ton electric dustcart used by the city of Birmingham, England, between 1938 and 1971. The DV4 was developed as the result of a collaboration between the Birmingham salvage department and Electricars based on the salvage department's experience with its previous electric vehicles. They were replaced by diesel-powered designs with one surviving in the collection of Birmingham museums.

History
The Electricar DV4 was a two-axle design weighing  when empty.  It ran off 80 volts provided by 40 cells. Rubbish would be loaded in from the side and would be emptied by tipping the body using a hydraulic ram. It had the capacity to hold up to  of refuse. The electricity used to charge the DV4 (and the city's other electric dustcarts) was provided by the incinerators it took the waste to.

Seventy-two DV4s were ordered and the first was delivered to the salvage department on 1 May 1938. Thirty-four had been delivered by the start of the Second World War. Production continued but was disrupted by the war and halted entirely in 1942. Production resumed in 1943 and the order was completed in 1944 with the last DV4 entering service on 1 April 1944. During the war, a DV4 based at the Montague Street Destructor was hit by a small bomb which damaged its chassis. The DV4 in question remained in service although it appears its working life was shortened.

In 1958, Birmingham began to switch to a new type of dustbin which required a new type of vehicle. These new vehicles were diesel-powered and the city began the process of replacing its electric fleet. By the start of 1970 there were only 11 DV4s remaining in service; this number had been reduced to 6 by the time the last DV4s left service in January 1971.

Survivor
No. 184 is the only known remaining dustcart, and is in the collection of Birmingham museums. It was previously on display at the Museum of Science and Industry, having been transferred there on 3 January 1972. It is now in the Birmingham Museum Collection Centre. A private attempt to save No. 199 failed due to lack of funding.

Americium(III) hydroxide. Americium(III) hydroxide is a radioactive inorganic compound with the chemical formula . It consists of one americium atom and three hydroxy groups. It was first discovered in 1944, closely related to the Manhattan Project. However, these results were confidential and were only released to the public in 1945. It was the first isolated sample of an americium compound, and the first americium compound discovered.

Properties
Americium hydroxide is a pink solid which is sparingly soluble in water.

Due to self-irradiation, the crystal structure of  decomposes within 4 to 6 months ( has a half-life of 432.2 years); for  the same process takes one day ( has a half-life of 18.11 years).

Synthesis 
Americium metal can be converted to  in a four-step process. As described by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, americium is added to hydrochloric acid, then neutralized using ammonium hydroxide (). A saturated oxalic acid solution is added to the now neutralized solution. This causes large americium oxalate crystals to begin to grow. Once complete precipitation is achieved, oxalic acid is once again added, to attain a slurry of americium oxalate and oxalic acid. The americium oxalate is then filtered out, washed with water, and is partially dried by allowing exposure to air.

The americium oxalate is then added to a platinum combustion boat to undergo calcination. The americium oxalate is dried in a furnace and will begin to decompose at 350 °C. When decomposition begins to occur, the oxalate will turn into the desired black americium dioxide. To ensure no oxalate remains in the americium dioxide, the oven temperature is increased to and held at 800 °C and then slowly allowed to cool to room temperature.

The americium dioxide is heated again, to about 600 °C, in the presence of hydrogen, to produce americium(III) oxide.

The final step involves the hydrolysis of the americium(III) oxide, to produce the final product, americium(III) hydroxide.

Reactions 
When ozone is bubbled through a slurry of americium(III) hydroxide in 0.03 M potassium bicarbonate at 92 °C, hexagonal  (potassium dioxoamericium(V) carbonate) can be obtained. Potassium carbonate can also be used. The resulting  reacts with dilute acids to produce americium dioxide.

In a dilute base such as sodium hypochlorite,  gets oxidised to , which is black in solution. Further oxidation using ozone and sodium hydroxide can produce yellow hydroxy species of Am(VI).
