Thermally Coupled NTC Chip Thermistors: Their Properties and Applications.

Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) chip thermistors were thermally coupled to form a novel device (TCCT) aimed for application in microelectronics. It consists of two NTC chip thermistors Th and Th, which are small in size (0603) and power (1/10 W). They are in thermal junction, but concurrently they are electrically isolated.

What Should Students and Trainees Learn About Patient-Centered Documentation?
