摘要:
Gas sensor materials and methods are disclosed for preparing and using the same to produce gas sensor structures. Also disclosed are gas sensor structures and systems that employ these disclosed materials. A gas sense-enhancing metal such as platinum may be added to a gas sensitive metal oxide material in a manner that more highly disperses the added platinum than conventional methods so as to more effectively utilize the platinum at a lower concentration, thus achieving a more cost effective solution. An ink vehicle may also be used for deposition of a gas sensitive material (e.g. on the surface of integrated circuit) that is formulated to allow “burn-out” of ink vehicle components at relatively low temperatures as compared to conventional ink vehicles.

Disclosed is a hinge for a buggy, stroller, etc. for infants. The hinge includes a first hinge member and a second hinge member. Hinge member includes a first hinge end and a connecting end to connect to a first structural member of an infant support apparatus along a first axis. The second hinge member includes a hinge end and a connecting end to connect to structural member of the infant support apparatus along a second axis. The hinge members are pivotal about an axis between a bent condition wherein the first and second longitudinal axes are non-aligned and a straight condition wherein the first and second longitudinal axes are generally aligned. The hinge ends are configured such that the amount of the profiles which overlap prevent the formation of a finger trap.

Disclosed is a hinge for a buggy, stroller, etc. for infants. The hinge 10 includes a first hinge member 12 and a second hinge member 14. Hinge member 12 includes a first hinge end 16 and a connecting end 18 to connect to a first structural member 20 of an infant support apparatus along a first axis L1. The second hinge member 14 includes a hinge end 22 and a connecting end 24 to connect to structural member 26 of the infant support apparatus along a second axis L2. Hinge members 12, 14 are pivotal about axis T1 between a bent condition wherein the first and second longitudinal axes L1, L2 are non-aligned and a straight condition wherein the first and second longitudinal axes are generally aligned. The hinge ends are configured such that the amount of the profiles which overlap prevent the formation of a finger trap.

Affordable methods and apparatus are disclosed for inputting position, attitude (orientation) or other object characteristic data to computers for the purpose of Computer Aided Design, Painting, Medicine, Teaching, Gaming, Toys, Simulations, Aids to the disabled, and internet or other experiences. Preferred embodiments of the invention utilize electro-optical sensors, and particularly TV Cameras, providing optically inputted data from specialized datum's on objects and/or natural features of objects. Objects can be both static and in motion, from which individual datum positions and movements can be derived, also with respect to other objects both fixed and moving. Real-time photogrammetry is preferably used to determine relationships of portions of one or more datums with respect to a plurality of cameras or a single camera processed by a conventional PC.

The attitude of a submerged array of sensing elements can be changed using a fixed quantity of transferable ballast fluid having density different than water. In one embodiment, a non-rigid array of sensor elements is equipped with two expandable reservoirs connected between a flexible conduit which allows the ballast fluid to be transferred back and forth. Pumping fluid between the two reservoirs causes one reservoir to expand while the other contracts. Due to the density difference between the pumped fluid and water, the difference in volume between the two expandable reservoirs causes a shift in the center of buoyancy of the array system. The center of buoyancy in this way becomes offset from the center of gravity of the array system, causing a shift in the attitude of the array. The array can be trimmed, using positively or negatively buoyant static elements, to achieve a specific orientation for given volume ratios between the two expandable reservoirs, and so by controlling the volume ratio, multiple orientations can be selected.

A method for determining the concentration of a target gas in an environment which utilises a metal oxide gas sensor having a sensitivity to a background stimulus present in the environment, said sensitivity being variable according to the concentration of the target gas, comprises the following steps: (1) calibrating the sensitivity of the first sensor to the background stimulus as a function of the concentration of the target gas; (2) determining a change in the sensitivity of the first sensor to the background stimulus in the environment, caused by the presence of the target gas in the environment; and (3) using the change in sensitivity to the background stimulus determined in step (2) and the step of calibrating the sensitivity of the first sensor in step (1) to determine the concentration of the target gas in the environment.
