    Abstract: A variable value calculating process includes: measuring a propagation time of the propagation of an ultrasound wave through a measurement sector inside a housing; obtaining a temperature calculated value on the basis of the measured value of the propagation time and a reference distance for the measurement sector; obtaining a temperature measured value by measuring the temperature inside the housing; and obtaining a temperature replacement fluctuation value indicating a difference between the temperature calculated value and the temperature measured value. The variable value calculating process is executed for each of a plurality of temperature conditions under which the temperature of a reference gas inside the housing differs. A temperature compensation table in which the temperature of a gas to be measured is associated with a temperature compensation value relating to the temperature is obtained on the basis of the temperature replacement fluctuation values obtained under each temperature condition.

    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to measure gas concentration with a high degree of accuracy. A gas sensor is provided with: a sensor enclosure: an ultrasonic transducer provided at one end of the sensor enclosure; an ultrasonic wave reflecting surface which is provided at the other end of the sensor enclosure and which intersects an axial direction of the sensor enclosure; and a plurality of ventilation holes provided in a side wall of the sensor enclosure. The plurality of ventilation holes are provided at positions such that one side of the sensor enclosure cannot be seen from the other side thereof when viewed from a side surface side of the sensor enclosure, and each ventilation hole has a shape extending in the axial direction of the sensor enclosure.

    Abstract: A method of monitoring variation in either or both respiration and heartbeat of an animal comprising the steps of vibrating a piezoelectric vibrator by continuously or intermittently applying an AC voltage of a frequency corresponding to a natural resonance frequency of the vibrator to the piezoelectric vibrator under such condition that the vibrator is placed directly or indirectly in contact with the surface of the animal's body; collecting a current generated by the vibrator under vibration; and calculating an impedance of the vibrator from a value of the current and a value of the AC voltage applied to the vibrator so as to continuously or intermittently detect variation of the impedance by lapse of time is effective to monitor variation of respiration and/or heartbeat of animals including humans who are in sleep or under exercise and take a variety of positions with high sensitivity.
