    摘要: An ignition plug includes a tubular insulator, a metallic shell disposed around the outer circumference of the insulator, a center electrode disposed in an axial hole of the insulator, and a ground electrode connected to the forward end of the metallic shell and facing the center electrode. The metallic shell has a threaded portion to be engaged with an internal combustion engine. The relational expression Ss/(Sa+Sb)≥2.6 is satisfied, where Ss is the surface area of an outer circumferential surface of the metallic shell extending from the rear end of the threaded portion to the forward end of the threaded portion, Sa is the surface area of that portion of the metallic shell which is to be exposed to combustion gas of the internal combustion engine, and Sb is the surface area of that portion of the insulator which is to be exposed to the combustion gas.

    摘要: A gas sensor element configured to detect a first component and a second component of a measurement target gas comprises an element body portion, a first detection portion, a second detection portion with a porous region, and an element protection portion. The element protection portion covers the porous region and a region at the front side with respect to the porous region in a normal side face, and covers a part of a region at the front side with respect to the second detection portion without covering the second detection portion in a second detection side face. The element protection portion is formed so as not to cover the second detection portion but to cover the porous portion of the first detection portion.

    摘要: A holding device including a plate-shaped member, a base member, a plurality of heater electrodes disposed in the plate-shaped member, a plurality of electricity supply terminals, a bonding portion, and insulating members. The holding device holds an object on the surface of the plate-shaped member. The plurality of electricity supply terminals disposed in the holding device include N individual electricity supply terminals (N is an integer of 2 or more) electrically connected to respective N heater electrodes of the plurality of heater electrodes, and a common electricity supply terminal electrically connected to all the N heater electrodes. The N individual electricity supply terminals are received in one terminal hole in which the common electricity supply terminal is not received and are insulated from one another by an insulating member. The common electricity supply terminal is received in another terminal hole in which the individual electricity supply terminals are not received.

    摘要: A plate-shaped sensor element (10) including at least a first layer (150), a second layer (130), and a third layer (140) being stacked in a stacking direction. The first layer and the third layer are mainly formed of ceramic. The second layer is disposed between the first layer and the third layer in the stacking direction. The second layer has an air introduction hole (131) opened at an end surface. In a cross-section perpendicular to a direction of an axis O, a length L1 of a shortest line segment P1 connecting an upper end surface (10a, 10b) of the sensor element and the centroid G1 of the sensor element and a length L2 of a shortest line segment P2 connecting the upper end surface of the sensor element and the centroid G2 of the air introduction hole, satisfy a relationship of |L2−L1|/L1≤0.05.

    摘要: A gas sensor for detecting the concentration of a detection target gas in an atmosphere of interest is disposed on an electrically insulating member. The gas sensor includes an insulating porous layer formed of an electrically insulating porous material, a reference electrode, a solid electrolyte body, a detection electrode that are stacked in this order on the electrically insulating member, and a reference electrode lead disposed between the insulating member and the insulating porous layer. The insulating porous layer defines a through hole in a region sandwiched between the reference electrode lead and the reference electrode. An electrically conductive member formed of a material having electrical conductivity is disposed in the through hole so as to extend from an opening of the through hole at one end thereof to an opening of the through hole at the other end thereof.

    摘要: In a sensor control device which controls a sensor, a first filter unit extracts a first filtered signal obtained by attenuating a frequency component higher than a first cutoff frequency from a digital signal indicating a current-application control value for a pump current, and a second filter unit extracts a second filtered signal obtained by attenuating a frequency component higher than a second cutoff frequency from the first filtered signal. A cutoff frequency setting unit sets at least one of the first cutoff frequency and the second cutoff frequency such that the sensor control device can control at least two types of sensors.
