A current-voltage converting circuit (2) is provided with a first feedback circuit (5) and a correcting transistor (Q1). The first feedback circuit (5) outputs, of an output voltage (V10), a voltage according to a magnitude of a low-frequency component that is not greater than or equal to a predefined first cut-off frequency. The correcting transistor (Q1) extracts a correction current (I21) according to a magnitude of an output of the first feedback circuit (5) from a sensor current (I10). The first feedback circuit (5) has a first integrating circuit (9) and a sample-and-hold circuit (10). The first integrating circuit (9) integrates the output voltage (V10) of a conversion section (3). The sample-and-hold circuit (10) samples and holds an output of the first integrating circuit (9) during a sensing period at which a pulsed detection signal is inputted. Means for preventing an incidence of ambient light onto a light-receiving section can be simplified or omitted as a result.

A wireless sensor device including a sensor configured to sense a target object and provide a sensor signal of varying levels indicative of condition of the target object, a signal processing circuit configured to amplify the sensor signal and provide an amplified electric analog signal, and a detection circuit configured to receive the amplified analog signal and provide a detection output when the electric analog signal goes beyond a predetermined detection threshold. A radio transmitter transmits a radio detection signal in response to the detection output. A power supply is configured to provide an electric power to the signal processing circuit and the radio transmitter and includes a power generating element which converts an external energy into the electric power to be accumulated in the power supply. A controller activates the radio transmitter only in response to the detection output, permitting the radio transmitter to generate the radio detection signal.

An extension piece portion is provided at a lower end portion of a screen plate so as to extend from the lower end portion, beyond a gas-passing through hole, to an oil pocket portion. An oil guide portion is provided at respective gas-hitting-side face portions of the screen plate and the extension piece portion so as to guide oil trapped at the above-described face portions into the oil pocket portion. Accordingly, it can be prevented that part of the oil in the middle of dropping down into the oil pocket portion from the screen plate is carried away by the gas flow passing through the gas-passing through hole, so that the efficiency of oil trap can be improved.
摘要:
An infrared detecting device. The device includes a drive power supply circuit which supplies a drive current to each of signal circuits comprised of an I/V conversion circuit, a voltage amplification circuit, a detection circuit and an output circuit. The drive power supply circuit is comprised of a current generating circuit and a distribution circuit. The current generating circuit includes a reference current source, a fixed current source which provides a fixed current based on reference current and a variable current source which provides a variable current stepped up or down to any of different currents based on the reference current. The distribution circuit distributes the drive current to a part of the signal circuits based on the current from the fixed current source and distributes the drive current to a remaining part of the signal circuits based on the current from the variable current source. The device reduces current consumption while keeping the performance or behavior of the circuits in stable state.
摘要:
Waste gas containing sulfur oxide (SO.sub.x) and nitrogen oxide (NO.sub.x) is mixed with an ozone-containing gas to have the value x of NO.sub.x fall in the range of 1.2 to 2.5 and thereafter brought into contact with an aqueous solution containing sulfuric acid, nitric acid and an iron compound to be deprived of SO.sub.x and NO.sub.x. To the solution with which the waste gas has been brought into contact, air or oxygen is added to effect oxidation of the part of said oxides still remaining therein in an unoxidized state and regenerate the activity of the iron compound functioning as a catalyst. Part of the solution to which the addition of air or oxygen has been made is recycled as the solution for the purpose of contact with waste gas.

The pyroelectric infrared detection element has a pyroelectric element including opposite first and second electrodes and an infrared absorption part. The first and second electrodes are formed on first and second thickness-direction surfaces of a pyroelectric substrate respectively. The detection element includes an output terminal unit including first and second output terminals on the substrate, and first and second wiring parts connecting the first and second output terminals to the first and second electrodes respectively. The first wiring part includes a connecting line being a conductive layer on the first surface to connect the first output terminal to the first electrode, and a canceling line for canceling charges generated at the connecting line in response to a change in temperature of the substrate. The canceling line is a conductive layer on the second surface to be insulated from the second electrode and to be connected to the connecting line.
