PAGE 外文文献原稿和译文 原 稿 Introduction The electronic clinical thermometer in accordance with the present invention comprises a thermometric oscillator for converting a variation in the temperature sensitive resistance to a frequency corresponding to the temperature ,a thermometric counter for counting the oscillation frequency of the thermometric oscillator to convert the frequency to a temperature value ,a maximum value memory circuit for detecting the maximum value by comparing in succession the content of the thermometric counter ,a display circuit for digitally displaying the content of the maximum value memory circuit, and a controlling circuit for controlling the thermometric oscillator so as to discontinue the oscillation of the thermometric oscillator at a prescribed time after the beginning of temperature detection or detection of a maximum value. ELECTRONIC CLINICAL THERMOMETER WITH POWER SHUT-OFF AT MAXIMUM TEMPERATUREROU BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic clinical thermometer for detecting temperature by arranging a temperature sensitive resistor within a thermometric oscillator circuit and counting the oscillation frequency, and in particular ,to an electronic thermometer adapted to reducing power consumption. 2. Description of the Prior Art A prior art electronic thermometer in general use is equipped with a sliding switch for controlling the turning on and off the power source ,and the power is shut off by operating the sliding switch after the detection of temperature .However, operating such a sliding switch is troublesome ,and is often wasted due to the operator forgetting to turn off the power. Moreover,a temperature sensitive resistor is installed in the circuit of a thermometric oscillator whose oscillation frequency varies with temperature .The resistance of the resistor, consuming large power .Accordingly, the wasted amount of power due to keeping the po
