    摘要: The method reduces the nitrogen oxide concentration in the exhaust of an internal combustion engine. A noticeable reduction in the NO.sub.x emission of a diesel motor can be achieved by applying the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) method. In this method, ammonia is injected into a catalyzer through which the exhaust gas flows, this ammonia reacting with nitrogen monoxide or, respectively, nitrogen dioxide to form nitrogen and water. Since the exhaust gas should contain neither nitrogen monoxide nor excess ammonia, suitable methods are required for regulating the metering of NH.sub.3. For controlling the amount of urea added to the exhaust gas as a reduction agent, the NO and NH.sub.3 concentration is measured using a detector located in the exhaust systems following the SCR catalyzer. The detector contains a vanadate layer manufactured on the basis of a specific sputtering method as a sensitive element. The electrical resistance thereof is highest when the conversion of nitrogen monoxide to form nitrogen and water occurs stoichiometrically.

    摘要: Sensor for determining a chemical element and method for controlling such a sensor. The invention relates to a sensor (1) for determining a chemical element or a chemical compound (CO2) in a supplied gaseous medium with a reaction area (9), on and/or in which the element or the compound brings about a chemical reaction that changes a characteristic parameter (for example the work function), Version 3* of the reaction area (9), a sensor element (5) that is placed in the sensor (1) to detect the change in the characteristic parameter, a signal output (11) at which an output signal (UPS) corresponding to the chemical reaction detected by the sensor element can be detected as the measured variable, and a reaction control device (SC, 12) with an electrode system (10, 13) for applying a control voltage to affect a reaction in the reaction area (9). To be able to use the sensor more variably and more reliably, it is proposed to produce a surface topology of such dimensions that during operation, a moisture film (16) of deposited ambient moisture continuously coats the surface area of both the electrode system and the reaction area. Possibilities in particular are correction of long-term changes from the influence of surrounding gases, checking probe functionality, and selective adjustment to measure given chemical variables.

    摘要: A control/regulation unit and a sensor device in an air-conditioning device enable detecting presence of an analyte in room air to infer the quality of the room air. A light source emits light into the room on a light path that is reflected to a light-sensitive detector. The air-conditioning device is controlled/regulated as a function of an output of the detector. If the analyte is situated on the light path, the light is scattered and/or absorbed such that the detector detects a smaller quantity of light, on the basis of which it is possible to infer the presence of the analyte. The light source can be pivoted to set various light paths through the room to determine where the analyte is situated in the room based on the output of the detector for each light path. The air-conditioning device can controlled to selectively influence the atmospheric environment locally.

A sensor signal can be read on the interdigital electrode structure, if the antigen is coupled to the capture antibody by way of a sample to be analyzed that comes into contact with the biosensor and a redox reactive molecule is enzymatically released on the sensor surface by an enzyme-marked detection antibody likewise coupled to the antigen.
