摘要:
A limiting electric current type oxygen sensor comprising a first electrode of a gas-permeable film, a thin solid electrolyte film which is crystallized along one direction to decrease resistance and which has a thickness falling in the range between 0.1 .mu.m and 30 .mu.m, and a second electrode of a gas-permeable film sequentially formed on an electrically insulating substrate. This limiting electric current type oxygen sensor is also provided with a porous coating layer or a dense coating layer. The porous coating layer made of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, SiO.sub.2, spinnel, SiC, Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 and etc., has a porosity of not more than 30% and a thickness of not less than 1 .mu.m, and serves as a gas diffusion flow rate-determining portion. The dense coating layer serves to control a gas permeation path such that either the first electrode or the substrate is used as the gas diffusion flow rate-determining portion.

An apparatus for detecting concentrations of a plurality of gas components has a single polarographic sensor capable of detecting an oxygen concentration and a composite concentration of oxygen gas, carbon dioxide gas and steam. A first voltage is applied to the polarographic sensor which then measures only the oxygen concentration, or a second voltage is applied to the sensor which then measures only the composite concentration of oxygen gas, carbon dioxide gas and steam. The first and second voltages are applied to the sensor in a time division manner. Upon application of first and second voltages in such a time division manner, corresponding currents flowing through the sensor are detected to obtain signals corresponding to the oxygen concentration and the composite concentration of oxygen gas, carbon dioxide gas and steam. The signal corresponding to the oxygen concentration is subtracted by an operational amplifier from the signal corresponding to the composite concentration of oxygen gas, carbon dioxide gas and steam, thereby obtaining a signal representing a composite concentration of carbon dioxide gas and steam.

A magnetic toner comprises magnetic powder and a coating layer to cover said powder, the layer being a reaction product between (1) a silane coupling agent containing an amino group, an isocyanate group or an epoxy group and (2) one or more compounds having a functional group reactive with one of the reactive group on the silane coupling agent. A compound having a carboxyl group, an acid anhydride, an isocyanate compound or a ketene dimer is used for the amino group. A compound having a hydroxyl group, an amine compound or a compound having a carboxyl group is used for the isocyanate group. A compound having a hydroxyl group, a compound having a carboxyl group or a copolymer of a di- or monoalkylamino-alkyl (meth)acrylate and a hydrophobic vinyl monomer is used for the epoxy group. The magnetic toner is improved about dispersibility in a binder.
摘要:
A temperature control apparatus detects an actual temperature of an object (e.g., sensor) to be controlled, and compares the actual temperature with a preset target temperature to obtain a difference therebetween, thereby keeping a heater temperature constant. The temperature control apparatus has a temperature rise rate limiter for controlling a temperature rise rate of the object to be controlled so as not to exceed a predetermined temperature rise rate. The object may thus not be damaged by thermal strain which results from a high temperature rise rate.

摘要:
A sound reproduction system includes an electro-acoustic transducer and a transducer driver for driving the electro-acoustic transducer. The transducer drive includes a filter which is configured to reproduce at a listener's location an approximation to the local sound field that would be present at the listener's ears in recording space, taking into account the characteristics and intended position of the electro-acoustic transducer relative to the listener's ears. The electro-acoustic transducer includes a first sound emitter which provides an intermediate sound emission channel, and second and third sound emitters providing respective left and right sound emission channels. The first sound emitter is located intermediate of second and third sound emitters. Higher frequencies from at least one of the second and third sound emitters are transmitted closer to the first sound emitter while lower frequencies are transmitted away from the first sound emitter.
