STM Rebound 14" iBook Sleeve - khaki
(1.6x13.1x10.6in)

Rebound is a stylish notebook portfolio, totally enclosing your notebook and protecting it from shock, bumps and scratches. It's made from high resistance polyurethane foam that seems rigid on first touch, but actually compresses and indents when impacted. The foam then slowly expands and reverts to its original form. This slow compression and rebound release acts as a shock absorber, spreading the impact of sudden bumps and jolts and generally providing a higher level of protection.

This sleeve was made for a 14" iBook but may fit other notebooks, see inside dimensions above.

Thermochron Starter Kit

Includes one (1) Thermochron temperature logger, one (1) probe with 8' coiled cord, one (1) USB adapter, and one (1) plastic keyfob (angled snap-in fob).

Condition: New, never used.

Tiny!

Thermochron (temperature logger)

About the size of a stack of five U.S. dimes, a thermochron contains within its rugged stainless steel shell a battery, a temperature sensor, a microprocessor, non-volatile memory, and a real-time clock/calendar. Each Thermochron has a unique ID laser-etched into the steel surface (also readable via software).

This tiny logger is easily programmed to take temperature readings at a user-defined interval (1-255 minutes) and store the time/temperature data for later retrieval. It can store over 2,000 measurements - which, if you do the math, translates into taking measurements unattended for nearly a year. Interaction with the Thermochron is facilitated by the 1-Wire communication protocol. Data from several loggers may be combined in your favorite spreadsheet application for easy comparison and creation of tables and graphs to visualize the data.

• Place one inside your computer to generate a temperature profile for a week/month/year.

• Place several in different rooms of your apartment/home to identify hot/cold areas.

• Place one in your refrigerator and/or freezer to monitor efficiency.

• Attach one to your pet's collar to see what kind of environmental temperatures they are exposed to througout the day.

• Place one in your fishtank to monitor temperature fluctuations.

• Bury one in your backyard to measure ground temperatures.

• The possibilities are endless

NASA's Thermochron Tutorial (Flash presentation) and Thermochron Guide (PDF file) provide a great introduction to the technology, but be sure to ignore the "only works with Windows computers" bit - software to interact with the Thermochron is freely available for download for both Mac OS X (10.2 to 10.6) and Windows (98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, or 7).

In order to program and retrieve data from Thermochrons you need a probe and USB adapter - the Thermochron Starter Kit listed above contains all of the necessary hardware to get you started. One probe/USB adapter may be used to interact with any number of Thermochrons.

Temperature range: -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F )
Battery Life: approx. 10 years or 1 million measurements

Thermochrons were purchased new in 2007 and have not been activated (log will show that no measurements have been taken).

Condition: New, never used.

Thermochron Mounting Options

If you'd like to mount your thermochron, here are a few options:

• yelow plastic angled snap-in keyfob (20+ available)

• black plastic angled keyfob (5+ available)

• wall-mount w/two screw holes (10+ available)

Condition: New, never used.

Note: The thermochron may be read while mounted in any of the options above. The snap-in keyfob is a more or less permanent mount - removing the thermochron often requires breaking the fob.
