    摘要: A constant current Iconst is applied to an electromotive force cell which is interposed between a gap (measurement chamber) of a fixed atmosphere and an oxygen reference chamber of a constant oxygen content, for measurement of a resistance value of the electromotive force cell, whereby the resistance value can be measured accurately irrespective of an oxygen content in an atmosphere to be measured by an oxygen sensor element or cell unit. The resistance value of the electromotive force cell is measured at a predetermined timing T2 after application of a current is started, so that a measure resistance value is free of a variation of a resistance value due to deterioration of porous electrodes of an electromotive force cell, such a variation being included in the measured resistance value in case the measurement is done by using an AC current, and therefore accurate measurement can be attained. A temperature control methods and a temperature control apparatus for an oxygen sensor, capable of detecting the temperature accurately without suspending measurement of an oxygen content for a long period of time are also provided. Further, a temperature control method and a temperature control apparatus for an oxygen sensor, capable of detecting not only the temperature of the electromotive force cell but the temperature of the pump cell by applying a current or voltage to the electromotive force cell are provided.

    摘要: An oxygen sensor according to the present invention has battery element and a pump element in each of which porous electrodes are disposed on both faces of a solid electrolyte substrate. A minute current is supplied to the battery element after the start of energizing a heater and the activation of the sensor elements are judged on the basis of an interelectrode voltage generated at this energizing. A heater voltage is set to be 12V at the start of energizing. When the time period necessary for the interelectrode voltage to reach a predetermined voltage is short, the applied voltage is lowered to 11V. As a result, the time period necessary for judging the sensor elements to be activated can be made substantially constant irrespective of variations in sensor characteristics. After the activation judgment, the variation of the temperature of the sensor element is monitored on the basis of the interelectrode voltage. When the element temperature is varied, the heater voltage is raised or lowered so that the element temperature is stabilized.

    摘要: Activation treatment for a zirconia oxygen sensor is performed by applying alternately a treating voltage, which can make an oxygen partial pressure at the electrode-zirconia interface of a sensor equal to or higher than a critical oxygen partial pressure value (10.sup.-34 atm) not to cause blackening, between a pair of electrodes of the sensor at temperatures of 500.degree. to 800.degree. C. As a result, the treatment current flowing through the sensor can always be held below the critical level, whereby the sensor can be activated without causing blackening and other physical structural changes to occur in the zirconia sensing element. If the sensor is to be used in an A/F ratio control or the like on an internal combustion engine, it can be rendered active at all times by the activation treatment during or before or after the control.

    摘要: In this sensitive, relatively inexpensive to manufacture, photo-detector, one surface of an amorphous silicon photovoltaic element is bonded to a thin transparent conductive layer formed on an insulating base. A conductive pattern is formed on the opposite surface of the element. The conductive layer may be formed of indium-tin oxide (ITO) and the photovoltaic element may be an element with an intrinsic semiconducting layer between p and n doped layers. The photovoltaic element generates component currents in response to photons passing through the transparent base and conducting layer. Those current components flowing predominantly in a direction at right angles to the photovoltaic element surfaces are summed by the conductive pattern which acts as a spatial filter, responsive to desired ones of these components and relatively unresponsive to other current components. The spatial filter conductive pattern and the transparent conducting layer may be coupled as the input to a suitable high impedance current detector.
