[William Wuister]

Is there a small IC that can be used to measure temperature without
contact?

thanks,

Erm...? If you are not in contact with the item being measured, then by
definition you are measuring air temperature, not object temperature.

It is possible to _infer_ an object's temperature from its electromagnetic
emissions, but that is not the same thing

Try EXERGEN or OMEGA

Look up IR temperature sensors
